Edna comes to visit!

One of my best friends, Edna, came by to visit us for the weekend. Edna lives in Boston but was traveling through South Africa for just over a week. She had some time to kill as her boyfriend Lars was not arriving in S.A. for a couple of days, so she flew up to Gaborone and became our first visitor. Edna and I go WAY back. She is a second sister to me. First off, she was born the day before I was. We met while in college and were flatmates for about 11 years spanning the end of college, pretty much all of graduate school, and up until the end of 2006. Edna is so well known and well loved in my family that my parents and my sister are always kept current with how Edna is doing. So it was rather fitting for me that our first visitor from abroad would be Edna. Of course, Eddie was very happy to see Clove once again, having lived with Clove for 8.5 years. We're not sure if Clove was able to recognize Edna, but Ed made sure Clove knew that she was happy to see her.

Wow, Clove is rather large particularly at that angle.

Glad you had a visitor.

Edna looks great! I'm so glad she was able to visit you. Can't believe she flew over for the weekend? Clove remembers her. She would never let anyone pick her up and hold her like that unless she's very mellow now
