Quoc, Lucie and I stayed in Saigon for the Tet holiday this year, enjoying life at home, venturing into town to see the colorful flower and light displays, and spending time with relatives. We visited the homes of our Ong Ba, Co Chu and Anh Chi bearing Tet greetings and gifts, while Lucie and the baby received lucky money and good wishes from our elders wherever we went. With our housekeepers away for the week-long holiday, Quoc and I cooked and cleaned for ourselves like in the good ole days B.V. (Before Vietnam). It was actually nice to have the house to ourselves for the week, but of course we welcomed Chi Hanh and Chi Tu with open arms when they returned. It was a lovely, quiet week for our little family of three-and-a-half, as we began the new year with a nod to old traditions and an eye on what lies ahead for us.
