Here are pictures of Fode's parents.  Sidibe, who lives in Guinea, looks great.  Fode's father, Malan, was killed in the war that caused Fode to escape Liberia.  When he was going to Guinea he wanted to find pictures of his father because we had none.  He could only find one picture and they would not let him take it back to America.  So, as you can see, we have a picture of a picture.  I am grateful to have this picture.  We think it was taken after his trip to Mecca.
Here is my Honey fresh from Africa.  Clearly he was so busy in Guinea he did not have time to shave.  I barely recognized him as he was walking out from the gate.  If you are not familiar with the dates, Fode went to Guinea on April 3rd.  He came back on May 1st.  It was a long month for me!  Fode had not been to Africa for over 11 years! It was a long over due trip.

Hello and welcome to our blog.  I was resistant to set up a blog.  It seemed redundant since this is the third blog for the Yellow House, but with all of Fode's adventures (and some of mine) it seemed like it was time to share.
