Well my friends….this has been the most incredible vacation yet despite my nasty flu. Today I got a second wind and we all loaded up the vehicle and headed out to the lion preserve to view some of the most awesome animals…..many we hadn’t seen up close on this trip
I’ll keep this short but you will guess by the photo of me and the white lion cubs (thank you for the stunning photo Bernice) that I was one happy camper!
Gotta run but will update you again from the airport in Paris….we are on our journey back home. We are going to miss Bernice and Franck soooooooooooooo much. One week traveling with virtual strangers and we have become fast friends. A return trip is in the works already,. Thank you dear friends!!!
My name is Sandra Miller, and art is at the heart of everything I do. I create from my studio in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where life is shared with my husband Steve and our charming “Dog in the Kitchen,” Ihana—my constant muse and taste-tester behind the scenes of this creative journey.
Through my artwork and the Dog in the Kitchen project, I love blending creativity, storytelling, and a touch of everyday magic.

What a special photo of you & the white lion cubs!! Have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your trip to S. Africa & am definitely looking forward to a full report & more pictures. Luv ya…..Pat
Thanks for a fab visit!!! Au revoir….
They taught us American … and for those folks out there who know South African – we taught them words like lekker, jawellnofine, and Steve’s personal favorite…. ‘howzit’…. 🙂
Sandy’s photos are excellent – cannot wait to see those majestic lion pics in the late pm sun…
and the rhino yinyang…. relax Sandy, we’ll wait until you get home!
Luv ya both TONS!
Bernice & Franck
Hey Sandy! I’m ready to have a glass of wine with you and hear all your stories and see all your pictures. Can you believe how fast the month went by?! You’ll be happy to know that it only took Lillian a few minutes to warm up to Kevin and become friends…your pups are so great, but they miss you! Give me a ring when you get in. Cheers, Becky
Glad to see your feeling better. You look natural feeding baby lioncubs. Like baby chow s. What a thrill that must have been. Have a safe trip home.Say Hi to Steve and can’t wait to hear all about your trip . Love Mom
Aww, they are lovely little kitten! I hope your flu will disappear soon!
Love.

What an amazing pic of you with those babies!! I can’t wait to see and hear more about your trip. My friend Desiere, who is from S Africa, wanted to know the names of some places you had been. She still loves the area and goes back for visits with her counsins. Amazingly enough, she also had a Chow growing up. Have a safe trip home. Love NM
