Fabulous photos Leslie, thank you for posting them. I loved those two little girls at Eulen village absolutely adorable. Plus that church at Anadyr was really pretty special. Great memories. Amazing about getting Brad's glasses back. Something like that really surprises you in a very good way.

We had horrific problems getting a new internet service at our house. This guy named Daniel who is a troubleshooter spent from 5.00 pm to 10 pm Friday night at our house. Then came back on Saturday at 11.00 and stayed until 4.00pm. We both took such a liking to him, young, work ethic deluxe, warm and friendly with two young children. We took his name and we both looked at each other when he left and said WOW,

Ken and I both felt this bond with this Internet repairman. I felt it but I did not realize Ken felt it too. We said "we need to have his whole family over for dinner" Totally unusual for us with our schedule dinner company is usually off the table. Let alone with two young children. One just 17 months old.

Magic moments in life when someone does something extraordinary like returning Brad's glasses OR the internet repairman is a jewel. Makes like worth living to stop and appreciate those people who go above and beyond for really perfect strangers.
