Bill Wardrop's Celebration of Life
August 23, 2008
Bill Wardrop (Charles William Wardrop III)
April 18, 1945 - July 7, 2008
God totally provided this Volleball Magazine cover. After one of my brother's friends looked through ALL of his Volleyball Magazines, I prayed one night for a miracle, and the next morning, I found a Volleyball Memorabilia site, and I got this emailed to me within three hours! It was displayed at the entrance to his memorial.

We had a stop in California in order to go to my brother, Bill's, Memorial Service on the beach in La Jolla. It was a crowded day on a Southern California beach.

Rita's Family
August 20, 2008
Rita is also a dear friend and former language teacher. She and her family came all the way from Seremban in the peak traffic hours to come and see us. We laughed so much, especially when I said in Malay that "Words were coming out of the back of my 'coconut'"!

Breakfast in Taman Tun, Kuala Lumpur
August 19, 2008
Julie and I walked up to the top of Bukit Kiara, just like ten years ago when she first took me a for a walk up there. Then, she brought me out for YUMMY Indian breakfast on a banana leaf. I miss the food so much (oh yah, and Julie too!).
More friends
It was so fun to meet these friends! We have been telephone, IM friends for years, but we have never met face-to-face! They made us a wonderful meal and I had a wonderful visit with Carrie.
Texas Woman Lost in Malaysia
August 19, 2008
You may have seen this shirt on me. I couldn't handle being in Kuala Lumpur with a University of Texas graduate not GIVE my favorite T-Shirt to her. She loved it and her kids had dibs to wear it next.
I miss my shirt, but I smile every time I see this picture.
Tini and Me
August 19, 2008
One of the highlights of my time in Malaysia was seeing my dear friend and language teacher, Tini! We had "tea" with her and her two kids. It was as if we had never parted.
(No, she is not taller than me. I am sitting down!)

Water Village Walk
August 12, 2008
Our second walk through the water village, we found a way into downtown Bandar Seri Begawan by the bridge. I loved the view from there, and the way the sun hit the village in the morning.
