Day five of my dream vacation


(Edited UPDATE: Disregard this. My treasure has been located.)
Unless it's hidden, I have an uneasy feeling that my cherished Swarovski Large Crystal Pineapple with 14 kt. gold leaves has been snatched by someone. It was awarded to me by the president and founder of TPC a few years ago for my hospitality. Two awards are given annually, and it is from nominations from other consultants. (My sweet blogging buddy, Julie, is one of the consultants who nominated me, by the way.) I am very upset that I cannot find it and have been searching between my office and the family room, where I have my collection of crystal and glass vases. I used to keep my crystal pineapple in my office under the lighting of my credenza, but didn't think it was getting enjoyed by enough people, so I moved it into the family room. Now it's gone. Who would take something that doesn't belong to them? I really hope I am mistaken.

Kelly-

That is not a good situation, considering you just had a ton of kids at your home. I hope that you find it and it has just been moved. What a very cool prize.

Oh, I don't think it had anything at all to do with the kids who were here at the house. No way. It think it's been missing longer than that because I haven't seen it lately, but haven't been looking for it either. I hope it somehow reappears and am crossing my fingers.

Oh, that's sickening! I hope you find it. I'll cross my fingers and toes for you!

Hallelujah! I just found it hidden behind some artwork. Yeah! I just couldn't imagine that anyone would take it. I'll update the blog to reflect this.

I'm so glad you found it! If I had read this post before you had found it, I would have been over at your house helping you look for it! You were such an amazing hospitality director to me (and so many more) and you absolutely deserve that momento and recognition!

What a scare--I hate it when things like that happen. I am glad you found it!

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
