We all keep some of our personal life off the board, but I guess most of you are like family. For those that follow my Facebook, you already know this. This is my girlfriend Ella. We have been going out for a couple of months.

Attractive, how old is she?

Very pretty. I didn't know you and Lady Toni got divorced!

Very nice. For some reason I was under the impression that your stint in China was for a limited duration - a couple of years perhaps. Are you planning to come back state-side at some point?

She's very pretty Fr_Chuck... very nice environment too. Was this taken in her home?

Looks pretty American typical there. You sure your in China ?

Let me see, She is 45 years old.

Yes, most of you know, Toni and I had problems for a long time. We have remained friends.

No real plans on coming back to America any time soon. I have sold my business interests and all my property in America at this point. I am not sure, if I will stay here or perhaps come back to America in 4 or 5 more years.

When I first came over, it was for one year, two at the most. But I love the semi retired feel. Also for later, my social security check will go a lot further here.

Yes, the photo was taken in her home. She is more "western" than many Chinese, The photo is her standing next to her bedroom door.

But she eats cheese, bread, taco's and lots of American food. She lives in southern China, in more of a resort area, so there are lots of foreigners there. And American or Europe influence is heavy.

Her best friend, is married to a foreigner, I know, and we were introduced.

She is coming up this next Friday, to spend a month or two in Zhengzhou, so if you follow my Facebook, I am sure, you will see a lot of updates.

I am very happy for you, chuck !

I am sorry it didn't work out with Toni. I am glad that you are remaining friends.

Ella looks and sounds like a wonderful person. I hope you two have a lot of fun together. :)
