Friday the 13th

So many stories surround Friday the 13th. Bad luck; good luck; superstitions and more. 

I don't believe in any of this. 

Guess why?

I was born on Friday 13th February 1953!

So today is my 62nd birthday. I'm having my Marquard friends for tea this afternoon. 

Thinking back on the 61st year of my life which I spent in Tanzania,  I feel blessed. I had many highs and many times involved with African children, dogs on the yard,  puppies, askaris and friends.  I had fun and enjoyed every minute of my year. Wondering what photo to post, I decided to leave this one below. Although I regularly dressed in traditional East African kaftans, this one evening I went the Asian way. And LOVED it!


HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!
