Hi Mom! Hi Dad!
WELL, I just found out that my parents now have a computer to use and can look at my blogs! So welcome to cyberspace, Mom and Dad! I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to post a couple pictures for the rest of my readers to see who raised me right! Here goes!
The apple routine:)

At Emil's Restaurant--great food, great prices!

The next pictures are the farm where I grew up (and where Mom and Dad still live!) and, across the fields, Deep Run Mennonite East, http://www.deepruneast.org/, the church I attended growing up (and where it still feels like home:).



This is quite a departure from journaling about Thailand, but I owe much to my parents, so I think it's a permissible change!:) Thanks a bunch, Mom and Dad! Love you lots!
