...'Cause This Is Africa

First of all --
Yes, I quoted Shakira for this post title. She may wear leather tassels and is Cher incarnate with her goat-yodleing singing, but when considering the very point of this post, her laissez faire attitude towards this continent in that WakaWaka song is simply too perfect to pass up.

Secondly --

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY TO MY POPS!!

...and no, this fact does not relate to Shakira.

In a weird way, him turning reaaaalllyyy old (love you Dad!) has got me feeling old.

And while I am sad that I am not there to drown aging sorrows with him over a homecooked shrimp feast fit for kings, I am comforted by the fact that my brothers have taken great pains to treat him to a classy dinner out to celebrate.

At Hooters. Why am I not surprised??

Cheers to you, Dad! I love and miss you with all my heart.


Thirdly --
The sad bit.

Due to the fact that the Wright household has exceeded our montly bandwith limit, I will not have internet for the rest of October. This pains me as much as (I hope!) it does you.

As soon as November 1st rolls around, I will be sure to get online once more and update you on exciting things such as purple trees and home security! Can you say barbed-wire and electic fences?? Ooooo. Ahhhhh.

Until then: Happy Halloween! Enjoy all the spooky festivities and keep smiling!! xo
