Visiting the New House of Fr. Minh's Parents

On the way home from mass, Fr. Minh and I stopped to see his parents' new house. I was amazed at how beautiful it was. The last time I visited was two years ago (see http://garyinvietnam.blogspot.com/2008/07/visiting-lich-and-minh.html for the blog entry). The new house is completely cement, with exquisite tile floors, amazing woodwork, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The ceilings are 14 feet high, with moulding and there is even hookup for cable and Internet. The view of the banana trees is wonderful, and his mother and father really deserved it. When I asked them to pose it it (it is not quite finished yet) they were happy to do so. One of the best things about visiting every year is that I get to know good people and share a bit of their lives with them.
