another lunch???

 I had lunch today with three of my favorite people - my daughter-in-law, my oldest granddaughter and my daughter-in-law's mother.  She and I call each other our out-laws since we are connected by family but not exactly in-laws.  I was especially pleased to be able to lunch with my granddaughter who just graduated from IU and is starting her masters work there.  She's majoring in international business / cyber security and has just returned from a class related trip to South Korea. She said she isn't quite up to date on K-POP musicians but otherwise had a really good time.  She liked the city streets, the food, and the people.  Also the train rides and the Asian architecture.  They visited the DMZ and got a view through binoculars of North Korea. She does speak a little Korean, which enhanced the whole experience, and is learning more.  I asked her if she would like to work there some day and she said yes.  I immediately thought "Wouldn't it be nice to go there ( I have always wanted to see S. Korea) when someone we know would be there to show us around?"  I didn't say this out loud, of course, because I didn't want to scare her off.   I do think it's wonderful that young people have so many career choices these days.
