Iowa makes me laugh. Two days ago it was about 20 degrees and we had some flurries. Yesterday it was just bitter cold. Today? 50 degrees. It's just so unpredictable...sort of like life. :)

Anyhow, I'm heading out of here in a week to get back to SC...I'm certainly looking forward to getting back there, but also enjoying my last few days here at home. Today, my buddy Mike, who I met in Senegal came up to IC and we had lunch and then went to a little African/Middle Eastern grocery store that another buddy showed me a few years back. I knew Mike would appreciate this place...they not only had Vimto...but also Maggi cubes!! So I might go back and get those and try my hand at a few Senegalese recipes. :) We'll see. Anyhow, it's the little things in life that excite me and I wanted to share. :)
