As I promised, here a few photos of my summer for you, my dear friend from Taiwan.
And to the rest of you, where have you all been hiding? Say hi to Yang and enjoy the quick retrospective!

Hey there lady! I’m finally back from my trip stateside. I haven’t had any energy since I got back so I guess I have more than my fair share of jet lag but I’ll get over it soon. That’s not a promise of a blog though. I love these pictures! You look really terrific. I’m glad your new students and you have turned out to be a good fit even if you are a hard “taskmaster”….lol. slavedriver! Is Yang on xanga now? Hi Yang! (just in case he is) I have a ton of catch up reading but I wanted to drop by and say hi!me
Happy birthday Yang!Those are great pics – you’re so pretty!I’d share some boobage if I could
Happy Birthday Yang!
awe happy birthday yang!
RYC: well yes being a geisha in a previous life meant hiding love … so now i am going to accept LOVE and keep it… as all things in life… you dont know what lies in the next moment… yet i am happy at this one for sure… and waited so long … so i suppose no one would begrudge me this happiness… pei and i are fine and take each day… a little tired of this sinus infection and constant headache for two weeks yet even that wont keep me from smiling when he is around… understand about the asian thingy… i was married twice no less to caucasian guys well mostly arranged and stupid to say the least… i suppose in the end my heart just went where it was the most comfortable… hmmm and he was under an email all the time…haha… i am hoping all good things for you girl…because i think we are so alike in so much… and in life we all want that LOVE that we wait and hope truly exists…
LOVE is… truly it is…
Hey, just thought I’d see how school is going? Our year is moving right along. The first quarter is over in 2 weeks, I can’t believe it and I’m so behind on grading and lessons! Ugh! Oh well…life will move on, lol. Just thought I’d say hi! Hope all is well!
wonderful pix, thank you for sharing. geesh I feel so far behind with my friends here… and you’re always so good about commenting on my infrequent posts.
hope all is well…trying to work and live with this sinus infection though my doc friend in new york says he thinks it might not be the real diagnosis…all i know is a constant headache for 2 1/2 weeks is so trying and aching me so much… i would have hoped it would be gone by now yet it persists… other than that the world is good to me and i hope the little students are comical as ever and this year is a truly good one for you…
always keeping you in my thoughts…
LOVE is… truly it is…
