You Are Always in my Prayers

Non Bai Tho - The Poem Hat

1/27/2015

Picture
There may be nothing more iconically Vietnamese than the conical hat.  Although infinitely practical, being both sunshade and waterproof, they are also associated with legends and love stories. The poem hats, typical of Hue, have poems or pictures inserted between the layers so that when they are held up to the sun you can read the shadows. 

Can you imagine tipping your hat to the sun and finding the gift of encouraging words from someone you love? Today when light or shadow falls on your path I hope you know that you are adored. 



You are always in my prayers. Love Mom.

I have loved you with an everlasting love Jeremiah 31:3

Hi Diane, I am really enjoying your pictures, stories, and encouragement. Not sure about the one of Ray eating the spider though .. yuk ..no way!!!
Bessie just called to let us know that she "passed" her licence!!! She can drive on her own again. She is so happy that she wants to cry!!! I thought that you would like to know.
Love and Hugs ... Bernie

So happy to hear from you and totally excited that Bessie passed her licence. She worked so hard that she deserved to pass. We will be back in Canada in the blink of an eye with loads of stories to tell xoxo Diane
