I have been asked to give an update on what everyone is up to again. So, here it goes! I don’t get to hear from Ben very often since his computer crashed, but he did call me last week and he told me that he has taught himself how to do computer programming. He was…read more.

Be sure to check out Andrew’s new page. I asked him to put some of his pictures on my web site, so that you can see a little bit of what he is experiencing in Cambodia. The last picture is of a swarm of bees. It is really amazing!

There is just nothing like home. Our bus trip home was typical. I was ready to say some choice, well planned words to the bus driver and his attendant, and the only thing that stopped me was the fact that they could not understand me! They played those horror movies for 4 long hours! That…read more.
