I haven't been posting often, as most of the subjects I've wanted to write about seem to demand at least one small photo to illustrate them...and I seem to have picked up a computer virus (?!) that prevents me from using any photos or attachments. At all.
And it's not just with Blogspot- also Gmail and any other site where I try to load my own photos. Very odd.
I've got a computer specialist coming on Thursday night to help me out. I sure hope he can figure out what's wrong and fix it, asap!
As soon as my computer is working right, expect pics and posts about:
The twins' birthday outing in Geneva
The progress on the addition to the house
French comic book characters
Tya's artwork
plus
The twins' 12th birthday party (coming up this Sunday) which will feature a fairy cat cake designed by yours truly. i'm already working on the sketches for it. Could end up being cute. Odd, but cute.

You all HAVE to go have a look at Valentine's latest art project for school.
The assignment was to use photography or video in conjunction with one other art technique (painting, sculpture, whatever) to make a piece portraying a daily activity in a humorous way.
She ended up using a picture of an old Flemish domestic painting and having some fun with it. She changed it up and incorporated pics of our whole family.
I think she did an amazing job, but you should go see for yourselves.
BTW: It would be nice of you to leave her an encouraging comment, too. She likes that.

Evil has a name and that name is: BurkinaMom.
Well, maybe not evil, probably just stupid- the jury is still out. Yesterday I managed not only to break our digital camera, I accidentally erased almost every photo that Valentine took on her very last day of school here in Burkina Faso. I know it's kind of my trademark to make a short story into an excruciatingly detailed epic, but this one is too painful to drag out. Suffice it to say, mistakes were made.
The few pictures that were spared are trapped inside the broken camera. I'll find out today at 4pm whether the camera can be saved and the pics rescued.
We have managed to get a few pictures from some of her friends, but it's not much, compared to what I managed to destroy.
Question: Is there any way in the world that photos erased off a photo memory card can be restored? Help?!
Sorry, Tya!!
