Getting there. We have undergone a major shuffle here at Villa Ndio. As we cleared out what we are now calling Studio B of all things “photo” and hoping to establish a place for Kathy to pursue her hobbies and pastimes, it became clear that my Studio A was going to have to accommodate more than just all things photo. That is to say all items associated with family business activities have been moved to Studio A as well. This makes it a bit more crowded in A but affords more opportunities to be better organized in B.
