Nigeria food

Some Nigeria Foods

Suya is my Favorite it is the one served on newspaper. It is thinly sliced beef BBQ with hot chili spices (still a little to hot for me). It also always has fresh red onions chopped up and put with it.

The second picture is the Dinner we had at Church for their Thanksgiving, We had Jollof Rice, Cabbage Salad, Beef Piece from a cow they killed today.

I have Arrived!!

Sorry I had hoped to post a few pictures but I forgot my camera cord at the hotel. The travel was good and today was very relaxing. I am very happy to be here. I had my favorite food last night Dickson made sure I had Suya! Lagos is much cleaner than the last time I was here. Even less polution. So I am very happy. Dickson has been great and his family member Ralph has been very hospitable and kind. Hopefully tomorrow I will post some pictures! Hope you all had a Good Thanksgiving with your families!!

Ready for the Adventure to Begin!!

I didn't really sleep last night. I was busy trying to get 40lbs out of my 4 bags. I found out my bags could only weight 50lbs each instead of 70lbs. So that was fun!! NOT!! But I think the mission is accomplished!! Next time you hear from me I will be in Nigeria. Hope you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!

Family Dinner

Saturday night we had a family dinner at Michael T's in Utica. They had good Italian food. We did a Christmas, Thanksgiving Good Bye dinner. They kids were great. I am going to miss them so much.

VISA has Arrived!!

All my travel documents are now in order! I am so ready to go!!

I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!

I found out a couple weeks ago but my daughter wanted me to be quite until she told all the important people!! But for my 40th birthday I will get a Grandbaby. She is due June 18th. Which is a week before my birthday. I am very excited.

I have my Plane Ticket!!

I am leaving for Nigeria on Thanksgiving. I am getting so excited. Until yesterday when I spent 5 hours working on Visa paperwork. But it is all sent off. Now I just have to stress about getting it back in time. I leave at 3:30pm out of Newark, NJ. Fly to Amsterdam (get there around 6am) Leave there around noon and finally arrive Friday evening around 7pm in Lagos Nigeria where I am sure it will take 2 hours to get through customs. BUT WORTH IT ALL. As soon as I have my PO box Addres I will be sure to get it out to everyone.

Another baby quilt

Someone near and dear to me is Pregnant. But they haven't offically announced it. I made them this baby quilt and receiving blankets. Since they dont know what they are having since it is so early. I did one for each.

Nigeria Facts

I put up a new map of Nigeria showing all 36 states. Abuja is in the Captial which is called the FCT Abuja. It is not counted as a state. Is in kind of in the center colored Red. Near Niger State. I have been to Lagos, Ondo, Edo, Anambra, Delta, Enugu on my last trip to Nigeria. I will fly into Lagos. Then travel to Abuja.

Another Yankee Blanket

I did another Yankee baby size blanket for my daughter and a couple small pillows. They are coming up for dinner Wednesday I think they will like them a lot.
