Vietnam Connections

My good friend David Goss has started a new journal. It deals with his time in Vietnam. David’s home in the USA is Denver, Colorado. However, he has been teaching English in Hanoi, Vietnam, which I think he now considers his second home. 

David was Jade’s English teacher before she came to the United States for school. Click on this link for David’s Hanoi Journal.

Here’s a beautiful picture that I “borrowed” from David’s journal about Hanoi. It shows water buffalo grazing on a foggy hillside near Sapa, Vietnam.

In Chapter 8 of David’s journal you’ll find some auto- biographies, and one of them is written by Jade.

Exercising Again
Yesterday I started going back to the gym for my workout. The doctors said not to start back until 2 weeks had passed since my heart attack. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 3o minutes on the bicycle, with no problems. I’ll have to wait almost 3 more weeks before I can start doing the weights.

Jade Leaves Today
The past week has passed so quick. Now it’s time to  take Jade back to the airport for her trip back to Utah. Her flight leaves this morning. We certainly enjoyed having her with us this past week. We had loads of fun with lots of visitors, and great eats, and we played some games.

Yesterday Jade had lunch with her high school swimming coach. And last night we took her to visit with the lady that coordinated the exchange student program last year when Jade was an exchange student.

About marriage….

When Marriage is Outlawed,
Only Outlaws will have In-laws.

Marriage is a Three Ring Circus:

1. Engagement ring,
2. Wedding ring, and
3. Suffering.
