People Who Make Us Happy.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

{ Marcel Proust }

They're family to me. And they've been there for me when it truly mattered. In times when it mattered.

They're my personal heroes, too, because they are strong, smart women and they do amazing things for the world.


Angela is in the country from Afghanistan for her R&R (she gets to go out of Afghanistan every other month and a half). We went to Fely J's for dinner because she loves their pomelo salad and pork adobo. It was so good to see Angela again, beautiful and well, because we worry about her all the time.

Who's absent? The Princess because she is busy being boss in Indonesia. And Chris who is vacationing in London right now, who goes there like London is just a tricycle-ride away.
