Whenever I explain to someone where I'll be going and for how long, they react with excitement and enthusiasm first and then wonderment about my sons, Donny & Dylan, and my husband, Donald. All who know me know that the DBoyz are the top priority in my life. Without their support, I wouldn't be able to do what I do on a regular, daily basis with work, church, civic/community commitments, and the like. Anything that any one of us commits to is something we all commit to as a family. Those who know me, also know that I can turn most anything into something educational, especially for my sons. So, aside from the fact that they are already enrolled in some fabulous camps where they will have their own wonderful learning experiences this summer, we have spent the last few weeks figuring out how my 
journey can also be theirs. So far, we have posted a map of SA in their study area with all of the places that I will be going marked with the dates that I'll be there - what a lesson in Geography! In these first few days out of school, they are helping me look up all of the places where I'll be on the internet - we hope to post the links here soon - what an application of technology! And...the English teacher that continues to reside in me needed to find a way for us to read and write together as we do every day, but especially in the summer. This is also in invitation to you to read and write with us. Donny and I will be reading Zulu Dog and No Turning Back while I'm in SA. Dylan and I will be reading Jamela's Dress, The Day GoGo Went to Vote, The Gift of the Sun, and Mandela: from the Life of the South Africa Statesman. We will use our blogs to write about what we're reading and the experiences I'm having shared through pictures and video on our sites. To read and write with us, visit the Dboyz blog.
