It’s episode 13 y’all, my favorite number as it turns out, and I was so excited to have my même chose on, Emily Hooker! She was such a necessary bestie during my days in Burkina and has remained one of my most beloved friends ever since. Though she’s just about ready to burst and welcome in her new baby girl, Hooks still found time to gab with me about whether we’ve learned more about survival during our times in the Peace Corps or these dreaded Corona days, getting creative with 5 pounds of frozen corn, and how buying a new house isn’t as fun when you can’t invite anyone over to enjoy it with. She says this is the most she’s laughed in a while and I totes agree…take a seat and cackle along with us, won’t you?
