The tree planting didn't happen in the garden but we did get this pine put in the ground. We planted this as a 1 inch tall seedling over 6 years ago. Was root bound, tried to bust up roots a bit and put into good garden soil with some native soil back in the hole. It's about 3 ft tall and 4 ft wide, more yellow than it should be for sure.

So..... I went on my first search and recover mission in Viet Nam today. My Fiancé's daughter, who is 19 now, went to Saigon a month ago to stay with some girlfriends. Somehow Duyen found out that the daughter was actually shacking up with some guy in district 9 of Saigon. But it gets worse....apparently, or allegedly the guy was using her to help recruit other young girls to work in some seedy places in Saigon. Girly Bars and on the edge Karaoke Parlors, and paying her to recruit. Apparently one of the younger cousins living down here outed her. So...Got in the car at 5am and drove to Saigon, (3) hours each way. Duyens brother, who is a higher up Police Officer here in Vinh Long went along with us. After some searching, we found the Apartment. But because of the security there, we found a cleaning lady to let us into the building. Went to the 17th floor, and found the Apartment. Knock on the door, standing off to the side, the BF answers the door. Sees Duyen and the brother and tries to close the door. My foot was quicker. The daughter was asleep in one of the rooms alone, so Duyen woke her. But what a battle and shouting match.. Troi Oi...Anyhow, the BF is a smallish guy, that didnt want to cause any trouble. But the daughter was refusing to go home with us. 2 hours there, arguing. Duyen packed up all the clothes. Then its time to go, and the daughter , wont. So I picked her up over my shoulder and started to walk. She's 5'2" and maybe 100 lbs. Then she decided she had better go, rather than have all the people in the building see me carry her......3 hours back to Vinh Long, nobody spoke a word. LOL...So... I guess Im in for a few harsh days here until things settle down.....BTW, Duyens brother thinks Im a Police Officer. When I told him no, he accused be of being a CIA Operative....LOL...:rofl:

Wow!
Young lady needs to understand the damage she is doing and that she would be far better off without people like that in her life.

That sort of thing is pretty common here in Viet Nam. They all know they can make the best money doing that...Sad for sure.....
 
And goodmorning!
34 and a few days of rain/snow on the horizon.
 
Good morning everyone. Getting ready to head to Rockford. Should be a good time. Hope all is well out there.

@MOPARMITCH that's crazy. Good you did that.
