AHHHH we have internet at home again. Now I can begin to catch up. It has been along time and lots has happened, but I am not going to try and catch up in one go. I will share about the great birthday gift I got from Andy. I will never forget as long as I live my 48th birthday. I spent it doing things I enjoyed with people I enjoy being with. I visited many of my old haunts and listened to the call the to pray with a smile on my face. The Bosphorous was the most perfect shade of turquoise and the food was better than delicious.

I went to a place called Hala on Istiklal and had beautiful food. I also went to my old stand by Cafe Nero to enjoy a drink and a view. I did not see everyone but I sure tried.

I have come back with a resolve life is short and we shouldn't spend time dwelling on the negative.....

Afiyet olsun
