Our Trip to Busan

Tara and I went to Pusan on the redeye train, (is there such thing as a redeye train???) spent the night and went sightseeing early the next day. We had a blast! Here are the pics to prove it!!! This was our view of Pusan from the train station in the morning. Very Beautiful! More to come...

Meeting Melissa and Wendy

I know I am playing catch up on blogging here- I got to meet Melissa and Wendy on a Sunday afternoon while in California. We had so much fun- sharing our stitching, tatting and general chatter. Funny cuz when I saw Melissa in the parking lot I recognized both she and her husband INSTANTLY! Fun, eh?

On the wrong train

We got stranded at (the newly remodled) Gumi Train Station a few months back (yours truly put us on the wrong train which is something that I bragged would never happen---is the moral of the story to never to brag or to never listen to your wife??? lol) and I was playing around with the features on my new digital camera.

Thank You!

I wanted to thank everyone for their condolences and prayers. They really made the difference and I truly appreciate it. You all really made my day/week/month and it is so precious to know that my friends are praying for me.

(((hugz)))

Life is Precious

Dave's dad passed away on Thursday. From the time he started feeling sick and went to the hospital until the time of his passing about one week had passed. Life is precious. Time is short.

When it rains it pours...

While visiting here in Los Angeles for my niece's funeral we heard news of my father in law becoming ill and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Dave is coming to the States so we can visit with his father and his wife this week n Phoenix. Please keep them and us in prayer.

Please pray...

I recieved news that my niece was killed in an auto accident on Friday night. I will be traveling to be with my sister. If you could please pray with me for she and her husband during this difficult time I would be grateful. A life was cut short- one with purpose and desire in her twenties. It truly is a shame.

Rain and a conversation at the market...

This is day ten of rain rain RAIN!!! The weather was at about a hundred degrees ten days ago and it has plunged to mid 70s and I am FREEZING!!!

I went downtown to buy a watermelon the other day. In the back of the ajeoshi's truck were different size watermelons with various prices. I pointed at one pile and asked, "How much are those?" Three thousand won he replied "How much are those?" Four thousand won". Then he looked at me without missing a beat- I kid you not- and asked me, "Do you have a husband???" It was hilariously funny. Where are husband's when you need 'em? Mine was in the car waiting for 'yours truly'.

SP Update

Just wanted to give a quick update. I have had no time for stitching but plan to today. =)

I have lost almost 35 pounds with Little Debbie over at Spark People. Here is a recent pic of me with a jacket that used to fit me. Please dont find TOO much fault with the pic. lol. It was near to 100 degrees and I was cleaning the house and my closet- and it is a wool jacket. Hence my ugly hair and sweat on my brow.

Yeah Yeah- I know these look like before and after pics- lol- but here is one of the latest nice pics too. If this is a before and after contest I think I win. =) Gotta keep it real!
