Mundane of Life
It really feels good to be the center of my husband’s attention. I was away for sometimes (traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) and I’m now here in Maryland.
Even if my Berhan doesn’t have a problem of “workaholism,” his work sometimes follows him home and I don’t like it. He comes home with his headphones on his ears and he whispers to me things like, “I’m in a meeting” or “Just give me few minutes.” And when that happens, it is hard for me to get his attention I so much crave to get.
But this last Saturday, Continue reading Mundane of Life
New Year’s Bible Verse
What was your New Year’s Bible verse you’ve received through others or your churches?
We, the Banko’s family have received a verse on the New Year’s Eve celebration day at our church. Well, I was not at the celebration but my loving and kind husband and kids were.
Every year our church gives a small gift with one Bible verse for each individual who attends the program. We used to pick one for each one of us but a couple years ago, we decided to take only one for our family because we believed that every blessing from God comes to our family through the head of our household, my Berhan.

Sex on Skype
A4P Guest: Is that okay for me to have sex on Skype with my wife?
A4P: You mean, you want to masturbate with your wife on Skype?
A4P Guest: I guess.
A4P: Why do you want to do that when you are able to sleep with her?
A4P Guest: She lives in Canada and I live in America.
A4P: Wow! So, you want to get engaged in a mutual masturbation practice and you want to know if that practice is an acceptable one?
A4P Guest: Yes. Continue reading Sex on Skype
My Recent Travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Thank you for all of you who liked my family’s Ethiopian Christmas Day picture and dropped off your sweet comments. I know most of you don’t know this but my siblings are on this page and they liked it too, lol. I love them very much!
In case you don’t know this, that particular family picture doesn’t represent the whole “Tadess Kifetew’s” family but only 1% of the family. For example, our German brother-in-law, the one we love very dearly, is not in it because he was the one with the camera. All our in-laws, three of our siblings, eight of our parent’s grand-children (two them are in the picture) and around 67 their adopted grand-children (adopted children of my brother, the one you see in the picture wearing eye glasses) were not in picture. I know, it is a very big family. When I manage to get them all in one picture, I sure will post that picture so that you will meet them all.
Some of you asked me yesterday in church to write about my stay in Addis. Do you think I can start to write and finish it all here on this page? I don’t think so! Continue reading My Recent Travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
From 70 to 9 degree Fahrenheit!
Yes, I am in Maryland. I came from Addis Ababa, Ethiopian yesterday morning after 17 and half hour long and torturous flight!
Oh, I can’t tell you how happy I’m to find myself in my loving husband’s strong arms and start laughing with my funny kids’ jokes!
The first thing my Berhan said to me when he saw me at the airport was, “Oh, how I missed you my Love!”
And my kids said, “Mom, what happened to you? You shrunk!” LOL! Continue reading From 70 to 9 degree Fahrenheit!
Christmas Pictures I want to share with you all!
I have to share this family picture with all of you!
Oh, what a Christmas! I love it!
I’m not going to talk about the sun! Oh, no, I will hurt many people who are dealing with snow.
So, here is half of my family! The little princess you see is Tsion (my only youngest sister’s daughter – my youngest sister is the one whose left hand is on my shoulder. Two of my sisters arrived here on Monday and Tuesday from London and Fenland and you can tell that Ethiopian sun didn’t burn their faces, lol. My sister who is at the back came from Germany and my brother with glasses came from Sweden and I from Maryland, we got tanned really well, lol within two weeks. We love it, lol. We all are talking about the sun and how we can pack it in our luggage!
Okay, let me go and enjoy the rest of the holiday!
Happy Ethiopian’s Christmas Day to all Ethiopians!
Wow, after 23 years, I’m celebrating an Ethiopian Christmas Day with my families and friends here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Oh, I can’t tell you the feeling I have right now.
I still love to hold on to my childhood memories but the thing is my parents kept all the culture and traditions the same. So I am Continue reading Happy Ethiopian’s Christmas Day to all Ethiopians!
