As it stands now, we get to stay home in Tianjin this weekend!! But next Thursday, Thanksgiving, Dad will have his procedure done in Beijing. They said the surgeon is the best in China, so I hope that's true. The only drawback is that we both work on Thurs. (China does not celebrate our Thanksgiving) So our classes will have to have substitutes. Dad has to be there at 11:00am and the procedure is at 6:00. He said I could teach and then come up later, but I'm not going to do that. I don't want to travel by myself all that way. And I don't trust him to travel by himself. :)
He might have to spend 2-3 days in the hospital to make sure there's no infection, that means I'll be shopping a lot or else be very bored. Maybe I'll take the computer this time.
I do want to shop at the American market again. It's so expensive, but necessary. Today I ordered some things from an American market here. They're also expensive plus they charge a delivery fee, but they do deliver and that was nice. They even brought a hot pizza that wasn't too bad.I just can't eat like a Chinese all the time!
Last night we had burritos. Dad cooked and I did everything else. We invited Nelson & Jeanne down and they were thrilled! Tonight Dad & I went out to eat at our favorite little Chinese restaurant where no English is spoken. We always get the same waitress and we take our receipt that says what we had last time. Dad loves their sweet and sour shrimp, but tonight we had sweet and sour pork. It wasn't very saucy nor sweet but it was all right. I'm still losing weight .Dad isn't.
Last Saturday we explored a new market place with Nelson and we bought some DVDs. Dad bought the Narnia series,Indiana Jones Series,Madigasgar,Ice Age and High School Musical. They were about $17.00 total,U.S.
This Sat. we're going to explore another local market place with them Shopping shopping shopping!
It's late. We're off Fri. so we can sleep in!! Love you all !! XXOO Mom
