What's next?
Wed Jun 25 2003

I think this is the end of my family story. There may be recollections from time to time, but a daily journal of my family life is at an end. I think. There are some other things to talk about. Maybe.

We've been married ten years now, and this started out to be stories of my *early* married life. Well, I guess ten years would be the early part considering we were five months short of 25 years when Stan had a fatal heart attack.

The children are all grown, and the youngest grandchild is almost 12. The older grandchildren have children of their own now.

So what will I be writing about? Philosophy? Literature? Flying lessons? Politics. Uh-uh, not that one. I have to keep my blood pressure down. Religion? Probably not; that can be a touchy subject.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we.

It's late. It's been a long and hectic day, and so I'm going to bed.

    thanks for sharing your family story with us, i can imagine you have a very close-knit extended family and you're probably the favourite grandma/great-grandma

    Gam zu tovah!
    I like that! Thank you so much, Chaya.

    'Chambering' is a training/apperenticeship period that lasts 9 months. It is intended for law graduates. We sort of get an internship with a law firm and they make us do all the tedious work like photocopying and occasionally train us on drafting, research, etc. By the 7th month or so, you get one court appearance. By the end of the 9th month, you get called to the Bar, i.e. are initiated as a qualified lawyer.
    I don't mind the work. But you only get a stipend of RM500 or so. One US doillar = RM 3.80. So RM500 works out to US$130 or so. Hardly enough for rent. Rent would cost about RM300 minimum in the city. :o(
    Love,

    Dear Chaya,
    Murphy says Thank You for the pat. He says he loves you too and he will be fine. He has enough doggie friends next door and down the street to keep him occupied while I am away.
    Lots of love,
    E.L.
