Featured Artist of the Month:

Chris. I know, who ever knew Chris that you would make the title of a blog, but give credit where credit is due and it's due your way. These are all your pics. They have been sweet as I have been reminding myself this week why I love where we live so much because now that two more of my fellow pilgrims have headed home, I find myself with visions of airport reunions, my favorite restaurants, long chats face to face with family and friends, and Target filling my mind. Yes, I've been wishing a bit that I could be there, too. But, it's their time and not mine, so I have been taking heart and re-deciding to give myself fully to the next 7 months that I will be here. I do love this place and I do love these people and I am really at peace and have joy about this time. I know it, I've just had to remind myself this week. It happens (smile). Chris took these pictures a few weeks ago and I think they're great, but I'm also pretty partial to the subjects--the people and sights of the place I call home. Turkey. So, here is a new and unique window to the world that I live in and love.
