the secret picture box of Algeria

I am so excited that so many new postcards are for sale on ebay. It makes me wonder if someone is dumping entire collections from libraries on ebay?

Summer time in Algeria

I cant imagine anyone who wouldnt want to go to Algeria in the summer time. I wish someone would arrive with a lottery ticket and give me 3 plane tickets to Algeria. Will Algeria ever be cheap as far as airfare like the rest of Europe. ...? Its so depressing...

Algerian Suns and Pictorial History of Algeria

I want to start writing a new book. These two books came out about 4 years ago and so much has happened in my life. I think I am waiting for life to settle in a little before I throw myself into another book. Algerian Suns still feels very fresh to me, even though it was 4 year ago that it arrived... I miss those days.. things felt alot easier then before I lost my son. I miss him so much. I love my other children but losing a child and every day having to go on feels impossible. I get told GET OVER IT.. move on but I dont seem to be able to .Maybe I am just one of those people who lives in their dreams but I miss him so.. I love my other children but I miss him so much

I bought some new postcards this week




Its been a while since I bought any postcards. I think I am going to start posting some older pics here of Algeria so if by chance, anyone sees my blog, they can see some of the pictures that I adore. Alot of people that I know have no idea why I love to do what I do. I think its because not alot of Americans know alot about Algeria and its extremely fun to look at pictures and know when I do things, its like saving history

My beautiful Algeria


I love you so much Algeria and Algerian people and I will never forget you or stop trying to preserve your memory

The importance of paying attention to history in Algeria

There are so many items that are being sold on ebay and no central person archiving them or buying them for Algeria. I wish there was some kind of group like the national archives that is in washington that bought items and kept them in safe keeping for the Algerian people so that years from now , they had some kind of storage and hundreds and hundreds of things to display

Cheating Egyptians

The Egyptians can only seem to win by cheating.. sneaky bastards... After what they have done to hurt Algerians...I am just so ashamed of them

kwoolr and my channel on youtube

An Egyptian claimed copyright on an algerian music channel and got my channel flagged. I am rebuilding a channel called algerian history on youtube.Youtube did not investigate before they terminated my channel but I am able to repost

The new channel address is www.youtube.com/algerianhistory

My books are the same

ALGERIAN SUNS
PICTORIAL HISTORY OF ALGERIA

I was devastated but it just made my resolve stronger...

If love was enough

If love was enough
If love was enough, I could right every wrong
I could hold you in my arms and pour my heart into you
My eyes are like a camera that have recorded every moment with you
And sometimes when you kiss me, I record with my eyes so I can watch the memory over and over again like a movie
If love was enough, we would not have lost so much
I could love you hard enough that all the pain would go away
If love was enough, we would never hurt, there would never be tears
I would give you my soul, my skin and my heart to make everything in your life whatever you dreamed
I would lay down my life for you, because you are my adored
And everything would be perfect
If love was enough
