So one year has come and gone and here we are still in Korea. This past year has been tumultuous, to say the least. Underwater trees, busted eardrums, vomiting in the park from food sickness or too much sun, or let’s just say it: alcohol. And that was only one trip. I suppose this retrospective should be something along the lines of “Things I’ve Learned” or maybe “What to Do and What not to Do in Korea” or some equally inane clichéd thing, no offense to those who enjoy those kinds of lists, I’m just not that way, generally, I hope. So then what is this going to be? Really short.

Do you have a place to swim?

Love you a bunch - keep safe

Been keeping up the notebook for Grandma Rose and she is showing everyone. I've even copied some of the pictures off (great shots).
We think of you often..
Love you and keep safe,
Aunt Jan
I think it's a combination of feelings, home sickness being one. Not sure what the other is. I don't know if I could eat the beer snack food.
Not that I want you to be jealous, but we have had beautiful weather. Rain mostly at night, 60-70 during the day, 40-50 at night.
Haven't done much cooking lately, but I'll keep the recipes in mind.
Pat says hello and sends his best.
Love, Mom M.
