We are a few days away from our departure. We will be spending time in Louisiana and then we will then have a quick overnight in Atlanta and then head south, making our way towards Charleston for the South Eastern Wildlife Expo. This year it will be 16th through to the 18th February. We will be exhibiting in our usual spot in the Sporting Village Tent in Brittle Bank Park.
Please come and see us! We would love to catch up with you again! It is hard to believe that we are coming up to our 23rd year exhibiting at SEWE!
We had a most unfortunate incident in December - our office laptop was stolen from the office. Sadly I have not been as diligent about backing up my valuable information as I should have been. It's been an immeasurable loss, and as I try to re-build my database of contacts, I really need to ask each and every one of you to please email to me your most recent contact details:
Updated contact telephone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, etc. I would be MOST grateful!
Since our last update so much has happened. Our Micaela was admitted to the BScV program, and is now studying at Ondersterpoort as a second year vet student. She experienced her very own miracle, straight from our Father God, and we are so grateful for His grace towards her in this all.
Our JohnD is now a senior and has 10 months of High School left! He is working hard, and we are so very proud of him.
Dad and Mom are both well, and joined us on a journey through Kruger National Park, Swaziland, St Lucia and then on to the Drakensburg. It was a road trip of note, with lots of time in the bus together.
What a blessing that we were able to make the trip together.
We have had a very dry summer so far, and are in desperate need of rain, like the rest of South Africa.
We look forward to hearing from you all, and this comes with much love. The Ball family
