we found a new church,its nice and it has air conditioning.but i know thats not what counts,its the people and whats being preached that counts.and from what ive heard so far,he speaks the truth.

happy belated thanks giving

we had our own american/ philippino thanksgiving thursday on our front lawn.it was a great time,great people,and great food.youre going to hear that a lot becuase its just true.
that british looking guy in the green shirt,is a british neighbor of ours that we have just met.they are a great couple that have retired here in the philippines.so if youre looking for a cheap place to retire where they actualy speak english,then this is the place.the exchange rate is 48 pesos to one dollar right now.you almost cant beat that any where in the world right now.
so come on down half way around the world and come visit,but be careful you mite like it.

kens birthday party last nite

we had a great time at kens birthday party last night.he said he hasn't celebrated his birthdays since he was a kid,but the Filipino way is to always celebrate something.especially birthdays,and of course its another excuse to eat and socialize,and of course sing karaoke.
ken is from Tennessee,hes the one with the birthday cake,and that is his newly married bride Ella.we met ken at an expat meeting,there a great couple.ken is here working on his papers for his wife to go to the USA,hes a Christian,and he is a cabinet maker.
the other guy is James,hes our neighbor in the back of our neighborhood.hes from Texas,we have known them for about a year now.he is also a christian,and was in the military.he has been married for a while now.that is his wife marge sitting next to him.she is a teacher at a good university here.they are also both good people.
and as you can see there are working on having there first baby,and working on paperwork for marge and the baby to go to the USA in the future.
we also met Ella's daughter and her boyfriend,i got to see of the few 4 wheel drive land cruisers in our area,very nice.makes me miss my jeep i used to have.
well that's enough for now on that,till the next one.
