Scrapping in the African bush

This past weekend we spent with friends at Zebula Country Lodge, outside a region called Bela-Bela, approximately 2 hours drive from our home. 

My husband, Dan and 3 of his friends form part of a regular golf four-ball who play golf every Saturday, come rain or shine. The past two weeks, 2 of the golf buddies celebrated their birthdays and what better excuse was there than to pack up the families and spend the weekend playing golf and enjoying the African bush while celebrating a birthday or two?

The men left Johannesburg at 6 AM Friday morning and my friend Jeanette and I, followed mid morning with a car loaded with food and our scrapbooking goodies.  Our mission to make sure everything was ready for the arrival of the rest of the party and to do some scrapbooking on the patio of the bush house, while we wait for everyone to arrive.

Soon we were rewarded for our foresight and brilliance, when a Kudu bull walked up to our patio and had a good look at what we were doing.   He stood patiently while Jeanette distracted him while I took photographs.

The setting was glorious, the weather very hot, and the scrapbooking FABULOUS! 

My soul has been re-charged and I am thankful for the Blessings of living in this beautiful country, for being priveledged enough to enjoy God's beautiful creatures up close and the beauty of the mountains quietly guarding the valley in which we stayed!
