Girls Day Out

Spring, summer, and autumn weather is coming to a close here on the 2400 acre game reserve and all around South Africa; winter cold months are quickly approaching. Last weekend, taking full advantage of every ounce of sunny warm weather, I took the Thrive Africa staff girls out on a little outing. I love to drive, especially when the sun is out in fullness, no clouds in sight – its rays fill the car with warmth and a sense of joy, peace, and happiness. Five of us staff girls (Kelly, Cassie, Aimee, Brittany, and I) piled into the bakkie for a girls drive complete with car dancing, story telling, laughing, waving, and singing through the winding, twisting roads in the Free State mountains headed towards Royal Natal. Just over an hour, we made it to our destination: The Tower of Pizza. More good times and laughter ensued and then just smiles as we all were busy enjoying the yummy pizza and our mouths were full. A great girl’s day out!
