Someday We'll Come Visit You

Pemba and Tenzing Sherpa came to Salt Lake City on their honeymoon. They arrived at our front door in the autumn of 1995 on their honeymoon.

I still remember their smiling faces, eager world travelers willing to take on any challenge. They came for a week and stayed a year and a half. Pemba learned to drive a car by commuting up and down Little Cottonwood Canyon. Pemba learned to fly an airplane and then a helicopter. Tenzing helped with everything and loved and cared for Henry and Joslyn in the most generous of ways. It was an astounding 18 months that all began 35 years ago when Richard met Pemba's father. This accomplished and loving family now has a second daughter who is two years old.  Now after many years I am going to visit in Nepal with all the families who have been knitted together. Rebecca, my sister friend (We in Utah know about sister wives and I think sister friend really describes how deep are women's friendships.) is going with me. Less than 24 hours and we will be out the door. Now that I have started the blog I have to pack and learn how to use my camera.
