Our plane tickets were $800 per ticket – a ticket to San Francisco costs us double to triple this amount. The hard part was finding a “reasonably price” resort that accommodates children. The Maldives consists of many […]

This is Emersyn’s writing assignment on war. Mimi and Nancy completed the assignment by sending the old photo of Papa to add to her work. I sit at my grandfather’s feet as he recounts his time in the army during World War II. He tells me about the hard decisions he […]
