Jim & Amoena Quan (Jeanee's parents) Very interesting blog. Kind of wish we had gone there last year when they opened. We will be traveling there in March. Good to see you are doing so well in your new environment. It sounds like the Jeanee & Brian made a great choice bringing you with them. We continually marvel at how adventurous they are. As you continue to interact with them, you will becomemore and more mesmerized with them. Enjoy your time with them. We are sure the our grandsons are in good hands. We wish you the best and look forward to meeting up with you soon.

Sylvia Youell Hi Martha, Gertrud and I are enjoying your tales of travel. The photos are great. Gertrud is looking for shots of your roof terrace. I sent your blog site to Doris Prenzler today. Do you see fresh produce in the market? What fruits do they have? How big is the buddha statue that you liked? Would be fun to see those antique shops. We are looking forward to your blogs.

Mary Schiltz Wow! You are so adventurous! Thanks for the pictures. I love your back-yard! Quite different from Door County. Is it warm there? Freezing here. Glad Grandpa got to Arizona. I loved reading about your trip. You are an excellent writer--you make the scenes come alive. We love you and are proud of you.
