Can you Say, GOOD TIMING?

So remember that picture of the Gate at night? Namdaemun? That we saw Thursday night, and coming home on Saturday. So yesterday, that gate burned down. Arson. Holy poopernickel.

Good timing.

Today, Tuesday February 12th, Grandma and I had lunch with Jessica and Betty asked if I saw the picture of this. I had not read the paper at that time , but when I came home I read it in the Vancouver Sun. What a shame! A 70 year-old man told police he started the blaze. See how wordly you are making us Seniors. It was nice to see Jessica, she is on her way tomorrow. We are on our way to Dean and Linda in Nelson. Love to you both from Nannie
