Dear Family and Friends, Here is my latest update from Baguio City, Philippines:
I started taking out old photos from deteriorating family albums and sorting them. My nephew was able to scan all of them. Now I can take the electronic files with me and share them with my entire family! yey!!!

Scooter: This is my major mode of transportation while in Baguio. It's cheaper on gas and easier for parking.
Finally, the coffee maker has a place in the house.

My poor old run down shoes - It has gone through so much and travelled quite a bit and walked so many places. It is so hard to let go of such comfortable shoes.
Coffee at the Nievera Family Home. I found an old coffee mug gift from an old friend. Just to let you know I still have it.
This was my room as a child. The sunshine was always a great way to start the day. It is soo good to be back to my old Family Home.
A small get-together with family and friends.
Good Friends
Cheers to love, peace, happiness, good health, friendship and family!
