Thanks Sue. This lucky lady was still working hard for a living in Vietnam. Kind of wonder if she were here she would be taken care of. I also wonder about her age. A lot of hard work on the river in her lifetime had been etched onto her lovely face.

I suspect she is considerably younger than her looks, due to a hard life….

Thanks Jane, at first I cropped into just her face which was a few years ago then yesterday I got the original and decided it was a better story without the dramatic crop. It told us more so thanks for that 🙂
