I'm back

It has been a few days since I blogged. I apologize for that. We left Haiti on several flights Monday, May 10th. Mine got me home about 11:00 PM. My wife picked me up, and we proceeded to talk until about 2:00 AM. I sure missed her.

 

Since then, I have been trying to catch up on various home and office chores. I finally decided it was time to get back on the blog-at least for a few times. I’ll test post some photos—if you see them it worked—and just give a few parting thoughts. The photos include:

·         Dr. Jim Goetz, after taking a pic of 3 kids who wanted to see

·         Me with a baby

 

Here are some---

Things I missed while in Haiti:

·         My wife-now that’s a no-brainer

·         Hot water showers and hand washing

·         Cold water drinks from a faucet

·         Food I’m used to

·         Paved roads and sane driving

·         Flushing toilet paper

 

Things I’ll miss in the USA:

·         My new friends from the team

·         New skills that were routine

·         The gratitude of patients

·         Food I’m not used to

·         Heat—it’s only 50 today in Iowa

·         Roosters—just kidding

 

So that’s it for today. I’ll continue to post some more in the next few days.

  1. Dad,

    That picture of you and the baby brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of days gone past. Great job in Haiti. Keep posting pics.
