The Dogon are a group of people living in the central plateau region of Mali, south of the Niger bend near the city of Bandiagara in the Mopti region. The Dogon are best known for their mythology, their mask dances, wooden sculpture and their architecture.

The house we will live in for the next two years - I think of it as an old Italian villa in Mali
This is our yard
Ashley and I took our bikes out for a ride from our Dogon Village of 600 to Bandiagara a town with a population of 10,000.

Hi Joe and Ashley,
ReplyDeleteJoe did you try calling me? I wasn't around my phone and I'm mad that I missed your call. I went to visit a few people at work.
I like the new pictures. The place where you will be living looks nice. The other pictures look really pretty I thought. Its been very warm and humid lately. It's been hard the last few weeks, I have had bad back pains and I'm ready to have this baby anytime. Ben and I Pray every night for you and Ashley. Im glad over all that you both are enjoying your time.
I know I would have a hard time adjusting to the different changes.
Talk to you later
Love Ben, Body and Baby B
Hi Ashley & Joe,
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to get your e-mail,I liked the pictures of your home the next 2 years, neat yard too. Dosen't look like Joe will have much mowing.
I'm sure you will get the package before you move, Jessica sent one too, I imagine they will forward them, if you don't.
We are having so much rain down here,coming in from Mexico, and there is also a hurricane in Florida, as I write. It is the season and U.S. is expected to have alot of them this year.
Talked to Aaron one day this week, he is doing great.
Just talked to your Dad, he said Carmaletta had a pretty wedding, course Amy Angel helped alot, and I'm sure she was a beautiful bride too.
I haven't heard from Aubrey this week, I know she is real busy right now. I sent her a package, I may call to see if she got it.
Before I forget it, do you get all those e-mails of pictures etc?
Tell me if I shouldn,t send them or maybe, not so many.
Well bye for now, oh! I guess I decided that we will go to Las Vegas for our trip in Oct.
We love you so-----much.
Stay happy, healthy, and safe.
We love you and pray for everything great for you It's all in God's hands
