Mid-morning. The fog has lifted. – Amorella
0926
hours. I would rather than be figuratively rather than literally, even though I
enjoy the sunlight.
You have the upstairs to clean and the
bathroom and kitchen floors to do as well as your exercises. – Amorella
0929
hours. Fortunately, I have a nap to take first.
1157
hours. I had my nap, did my forty minutes of exercises and cleaned upstairs and
dusted the bedroom and bathroom. I needed that nap. Carol continues to go
through files and sort out old papers and the like. Personally I’d throw out
everything more than a year old but that is not her way.
Afternoon. You had ham and cheese sandwiches
in the shade on the deck. Carol wants an electric small limb trimmer with a
long pole like the professionals use. Carol also wants to buy some chair pads
for comforting sitting. – Amorella
1314
hours. I’ll need to check online for the trimmers. When she goes to walk I’ll
go looking for chair pads.
Carol decided not to walk, instead she found
more material in the basement about her school days in Korea and Vietnam. She
also found her old home address: 12 Doan Cong Buu, Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. You
have been trying to find it on an old Saigon city map online but cannot. The
street was off Cong Ly (Le). Her dad was with USAID at the American Embassy.
This was in the mid to late 1960’s. Searching for a house which may still exist
but the street names are probably changed, at least according to Carol. Here is
a painting of the house. - Amorella
12
Doan Cong Buu, Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
1627
hours. At least she found the old address. Mary Lou has the painting so I took
the picture of it. Carol’s bedroom was upstairs at the two windows on the far
right. The cooking was done mostly in a kitchen house behind the house. Plenty
of room for guests downstairs.
I have old and current pictures of the villa at 12 Doan Cong Buu, it's still well maintained because it's now a guest house reserved to high-ranking Vietnamese Communist Party members.
