Trip to Malaysia

Gerhard's company got a new project in Penang, Malaysia so he needed to go there for several weeks. He said he'd let me tag along. We got to visit friends we haven't seen in years . . . some of them since we lived there in 1993. It was great to see all of them and see that they are staying on track -- they have strong testimonies of Jesus Christ and are strong disciples. Of course they have trials and adversities that have shaped them and made them stronger. Adversity does that I guess. Sun Fu Chong spent two days taking us all over the place and treating us to some wonderful food. Great to be back.

My kids should recognize this sign. When we lived in Malaysia, they had to know what to look for because alot of signs didn't have the English translation on them!

The malls in Malaysia are amazing . . . and the food courts are unreal!! We had literally hundreds of choices when it came to finding a restaurant.

More of Florida

I've been working on a new rug -- so here's a picture. This rug is totally random. I just chose neautral colors and put the strips together randomly. It's coming along nicely.

Gerhard and I spent the day walking on the river walk in Fort Lauderdale and riding on water taxies. They call Fort Lauderdale the "Venice of America" -- it really was beautiful. We found a nice seafood restaurant and shared an order of crab legs sitting right next to the river. I also had a wonderful steak. What a treat! The last picture was taken from a bridge -- you can see our hotel in the background and the pool where I was napping.

Florida Trip

Gerhard had meetings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida so I tagged along. Feels like all those times when I had to stay home and raise kids while he flew off to work are finally paying off!! I can tag along with him when we have enough air miles to pay for my trip. Very nice to spend the day lounging around in Flordia. The weather is in the mid-70's so I've had pool time. I brought some sheet strips with so I can work on my new hobby -- croqueting rugs. Thanks to my best friend, Marie, I have lots of sheets ready to be croqueted now. This trip was especially important to me because on Thursday, we fly to Salt Lake City where Gerhard has two days of meetings. I will get to see our Utah kids and my grandbabies. The highlight of my life! Here's a few pictures from a recent trip to Utah where we spent time together.

Zack and Chelsey are doing Wii "Just Dance".

Look at that cute baby girl -- Livy is a doll baby.

We love Livy's mom too!! Here's Julie and Livy.
