The "M*A*S*H" Pole

We grew up watching "M*A*S*H"

and when we finally got around to finishing up our backyard this summer

(we tore it apart in 2010 and it's now 2013!),

we wanted something fun in it!

Remember the "M*A*S*H" pole in the middle of the compound

which gave the mileage to different places all over the world?

Well, Micah's variation wasn't mileage -

instead she painted the flags of the countries 

we have served on with Mercy Ships! 

And around the base of our "M*A*S*H" pole?

Bleeding hearts!

Because our hearts love Africa!

England, Faroe Islands, Netherlands (2004)
