Wanders and Wonders

Thanks to those who came to our housewarming party. They brought gifts, too. Giving gifts to the host is typical for Koreans. One of the famous gifts is a roll of tissue paper.

Piles of paperwork clamor my attention each day. Again, thank you. I will find time to write. Monthly meeting:  In a week, the peak season kicks in.
