On this ride, the faster you pedal, the higher up you will go. It was a favorite ride for many of the kids that were there, and many of us parents approved of it too. It's great that the kids get exercise hidden in all that fun. I thought this was the best ride in the whole place!!!

David Fong was coming to Torrance!!! Yippee!!! He surprised us with a visit from Washington. We had dinner with him, Angel, and the Lais at Sango's Sushi Restaurant in Los Alamitos. It had been over a decade since we've seen him. We had a great time catching up with each other's news.

"Happy Birthday Sammi," from Auntie Tae!

If we are fortunate enough, our road through life can be full of cherished memories. What makes life worth living are God, our families, lasting friendships, and the people that He puts in our lives along the way. Our lives on Earth may have some trials and tribulations, but hopefully our joyful, happy times outweigh the sad ones.


This weekend we had funeral services for my Dad. Our families are so blessed to have so many friends and family to support us during this time of grief. Many attended the services, many were with us in spirit. It was also a time of celebration, for my Dad is now in the hands of our Lord. We thank God that He gave my Dad a very fruitful, and long life of almost 87 years. His legacy continues in the lives of his wife, five children, and twelve grandchildren. We will miss him, but we will see him again in heaven. We love you, Gung Gung!!!
