Home Is The Best


Vacation away from home is good, but I still love my 'home sweet home' more than anything. I shared with Do-Do on our way home last night about Mu-Lan's homesick feeling after years in the battlefield. (She remembers the story, but not the poetry (木蘭詞).
After 2 1/2 days' sun bathing in the Caribbean, now it's 3 loads of unwashed cloths, and several dirty suitcases and bags. We prayed for the weather and everyone's health before the trip. From our memory, John-John had never been exempted from illnesses before, during and after trips over 3 days. He is the fuse this time again. Started vomiting and diarrhea on our flight back. It was pretty awful. I felt like I would ever finish doing laundry with the cloths brought back vacation plus his dirty cloths and pants from vomiting and diarrhea. Then he passed it around the house. Many people, especially kids got sick from this trip. Either somebody brought virus onto the plane, or we caught something there, maybe from the food or the water. WH said I shouldn't give the kids tab water for brushing (We were told to drink bottle waters only.) Well, if so, we are all too spoiled in America. Think about the people who live there.
