Meet Daisy Duke....

Joyce and Martin have a new baby! Her name is Daisy, and what a cutie she is.

Golf

The NSRCC golf course on the East Coast.

The dreaded ball-eating pond on the 3rd hole!

Stan chips on to the green.

Sunday afternoon is our relaxation time. We wander around Clarke Quay people watching, if the weather is bad we go to the movie, or we golf. Those of you who golf know how RELAXING it is!! Ok, I took lessons last March so I wouldn't be a "Golf Widow", but really people, I stink! It is an adventure every time I go. Stan is very patient with me, because he really wants me to like it, and he gives me helpful pointers like: Keep your head down, and scoop the ball...but still, I really stink! Jenny, come home!!! I need my golfing buddy back!!!

Another Saturday Night......

The best premo margaritas in Singapore. On the rocks, and by the jug!!

The friendly and efficient staff

Our favorite restaurant.....Margaritas!

Last night we walked to our favorite restaurant, Margaritas, for dinner. Not the one at Dempsy Road, the original location on Faber Drive. We love this resaurant! We've gone so often that we have our own table for 2 in the corner. If I don't call ahead and reserve it, Rosa fusses at me. She says "Miss Valerie, you must call so I can hold your table!" The staff is so sweet, Stan and I never look at menus any more; we walk in, sit at our table, and the chips and salsa and a pitcher of premium margaritas arrive! We do share fahitas too..... Anyway, for those who have visited us, enjoy this trip down memory lane.....for those who have yet to visit, a teaser!

Ok, my first attempt with this blog-thingy! Many thanks to my friend, Camille, who spent all afternoon with me yesterday setting this up.....no way could I do all the background-picture- music stuff! So, I thank her for making sure I don't have a "boring blog".
The pictures are from a trip to Hanoi and Sapa, Vietnam. What a great experience this was! I went with 15 lovely women on this AWA sponsored trip. We spent 5 days exploring the ethnic villages of North Vietnam. As you can see, this is a place of astounding beauty, where the people live as they have for 500 years. All the work is done with hand tools, all the labor is manual, including weaving and dying material for clothes. The children are precious, the people happy and hard-working.
