A large number of the people at the wedding were Karens, an ethic group from Cambodia somewhat similar as mountain people to the Hmongs. My wife and I were invited to eat with the pastor who facilitated their immigration and several of their community also ate with us. Their story was both heart rending and inspiring. We are now watching the unfolding of a moral disaster....:(troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-6840633182717298252017-02-01T18:56:24.412-08:002017-02-01T18:56:24.412-08:00I noted this interesting snippet in an Aussie pape...I noted this interesting snippet in an Aussie paper today (2nd February).<br />"In 1935, Sinclair Lewis, the American writer, wrote a novel 'It Can't Happen Here"<br />about the rise of a dictator in America and how it could happen as it had in Germany.<br /><br />Seems it just took a little longer"!<br /><br />End of article - interesting when you surround yourself with "Yes Men and Women".<br />A la Adolf and Joe.<br /><br />Cheers with tears<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-3697031140480072672017-02-01T03:35:44.053-08:002017-02-01T03:35:44.053-08:00Happy BIG birthday to your Mum, how wonderful that...Happy BIG birthday to your Mum, how wonderful that she got to celebrate all month. She will have seen a lot of changes in her ninety years on this planet, somethings changed for the better and others... It certainly seems to be a turbulent time, with your American politics dominating our news. We share the same back ground with your work with refugees and mine with people seeking asylum. Our Australian government is being very diplomatic whilst our US refugee resettlement deal is being discussed.

I do hope she celebrates just a as long as she would like.<br /> <br />It is very sad what is going on and I can only imagine the fear and frustration people are going through. Although I am not involved officially in helping refugees in my country, I do unofficially assist many newcomers to Canada trying to help them adjust and assisting with forms, procedures and other information that can be so bewildering. It is rewarding to try and help others adapt. I am hoping and praying for better things ahead south of the border where you are.

I feel our Prime Minister is caught between a rock and a hard place. Whilst trying to do the best for the UK as we prepare to leave the EU she has to negotiate with someone that I am sure she despises.
