They once were with us
"When we think of those companions
who traveled by our side down lifes road,
let us not say with sadness
that they left us behind,
but rather say with gratitude
that they once were with us."
I love quotes and decided that this was a perfect quote to lead into the following. I was tagged by my quilting sis Kat once again but fear not, you can read to the end as I am not going to tag anyone with this meme.

Out of Africa- not only is it an awe inspiring love story, the music and photography are amazing and having been there it is like going home for me.
