Debi

DAD & MOM OK.........We're so relieved that you have settled the score about the black, lace teddy ~ or black pants. Now Uncle Philadelphia won't have to sweat it anymore!! We're looking forward to buying you a latte when you get back home. We think it's a really good idea for you to return to California & visit Uncle Phil & Aunt Cheryl & everyone again. But this is something you will need to work out with them, of course. Have a wonderful time in Dharamasala, and do be careful. Love, hugs, & kisses ~ Dad & Mom

Martha okay just to settle the score...it was not a black teddy i left in the car...it was simply a pair of black pants that my friend had made for me...i to grab them before i jumped on the airplane...lol...black teddy...that would be funny...oh i really want to go to Cali on my way back home! Maybe i could switch my tickets and spend a few days there? Miss you all...just sent out another group e-mail...enjoy! Oh, and Dharamsala is Great!

Paula Ok, Ok I'll admit it the black lace teddy was mine. Sorry for all the confusion Cheryl. he he he... And Martha what's up with the bugs in Thailand only biting you left butt cheek? Weird, only you. LOL Well I am so gald to hear that everything is going great. Can't wait to see you when you get back. hugs, kisses and warm fuzzies. Paula

DAD Another quick message ~ Was that black teddy in Uncle Phil's car yours?? You'd better let Aunt Cheryl know.....or else Uncle Philadelphia has had it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

DAD Martha ~ You're really growing up, and I'm so proud of you! Thanks for the long e-mail.....let us know how Dharamasala is. We love you. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Bryn Martha oh how I love your ambition and love of life. I have been thinking of you lots lately, even this morning I woke up with you on my mind, it was like you heard me and sent me an email full of Martha thoughts. Always enlightening. I say get married. It is soo good to be in love, embrace that love. I love you so much, I want to see you when you return, I need to introduce you to the love of my life who is now my fiance. Take good care of yourself, and keep me updated. I love you and I miss you. Huggs and Kisses.

Mom Marsha Martha ~ This site is totally awesome!!! I just love it! The pictures you've taken are the BEST.....they let everybody know just what exciting/beautiful places & adventures you've been seeing & experiencing.......... Just read about your dream of being taken into a house like the house you saw in the "Alice in Wonderland" flick as a child. I remember you once told me years ago that "Alice in Wonderland" was a confusing & frustrating movie to watch as a little girl because of all the nonsense going on throughout the film. Well, I imagine now that you've actually experienced a dream much like Alice's, you can finally appreciate & understand what it all meant. Isn't that great!? Sometimes it takes years for the "puzzle pieces" to fall into place, but once they do ~ it all makes so much sense. [When you come home in November, we'll all have to watch "Alice in Wonderland" together. This time it'll make PERFECT SENSE ;-)!] I'm sure India must be a fascinating country to visit. Living in a very poor & heavily populated place, however, is sure to be a real eye opener. When I was attending CBC, my algebra (Math 95) instructor was a very sweet Indian lady from India. She was an excellent teacher ~ intelligent, articulate, & very helpful. She moved to the U.S. years ago & became educated, but she still has family members who live in India. She travels back to India every couple of years to visit her loved ones, but she said that every year it becomes harder & harder to return to India. She really enjoys the freedom & luxury of being an American now, & returning to India is like returning to the poverty she grew up with. So Martha, you have much to be thankful for living in America. It's fun, exciting, educational, & broadening to travel to far off places.....but when it comes down to it, there's really no place like home. OK ~ have fun in Dharamasala, and do post some pix!! Lots of love, Your Mom

Jerry Marth-thra - Hey babes, I was just thinking of you and love that you made it to Kho Tao and that area. I never made it over there but perhaps next time. Have fun in India and give my regards to the Dali Lama. Love ya and i'm so happy that your having a great time.

Adro Marsa, know you´re learning magical things that could never be told only shared. I to am learning,but much differently I imagine. no monks and monestaries. Just street vendors living day to day, buddhist lawyers, booty grabbin horny mex men, and beautiful enormous families of 12 or more. I have learned the ways of all. Blessings darling, that we are all safe and well. Peace

jonathan martha my love. . . .good to hear you are doing well. miss you tons. . . .love you more! jonathan

Cleo Y Telli MarthaFocker my love! As usual I'm missing you! I KNOW your having a blast as you always seem to do! Telli's huge, lovin life and puttin the bottles down! I absolutely can not wait to see you! Until then I'm sending warm fuzzys your way. Love and light! *cleo*

Uncle Philadelphia Martha - it's wonderful that you can update your website from Thailand! How's life at the monastery? Cheryl bought me a "Philadelphia" t-shirt recently. Would have sooo cool to have had it 18 yrs ago when you and your sister first named me Uncle Philadelphia.
