Spending Time With Family
Today my Mother and I had lunch with my Dad's cousins Martha Fiacchi and Michelle Baldwin. It was a wonderful time of telling stories and catching up on their lives.
Good Friday in the Park
Yes, this particular park is a cemetery. Designed by the same man who designed Central Park, Oakwood was created as a place people could enjoy a Sunday out with the family and mingle with their dead relatives at the same time. Music, mud and fun.

Easter in Syracuse
I am in the USA for three months of sharing with others the work I am doing in Senegal. Sunday was my church's annual HAM JAM to celebrate Easter together. Family and friends gather together after our Sunday Service and we chow down on a buffet of everyone's Easter favorite HAM and all the fixings.

Anne Christina's Baptism on the 8th day
On the 8th day after the baby is born is the day they official give them a name and in the Muslim tradition they shave the baby's hair. Gerard's family is Catholic so the baby was blessed by the Catholic Aunt's and the shaving was started and then finished by the careful and tender hand of Marietou's mother, a very faithful Muslim
The shaved hair was saved in this calabash. I was told it will be made into a charm for the baby to wear.
These are Anne Christina's two Aunt's from Mbour
