Tomorrow we leave for Hong Kong and SW China. We'll return 2/12 sometime. I'm trying to pack for 8 days in two carry-ons. It's not easy!
Last Sat. we were invited by a friend,Henry, to go to his friends house to make dumplings and have dinner. The friends' son is 24 yrs.old and speaks English. His parents don't neither does Henrys' wife.
The table was spread with all sorts of fruit, nuts and candy before our meal. Then another English couple showed up. They work for the International School here and know the two young girls from our church. We had a wonderful dinner! There was so-o-o much food. At least 21 different dishes; fish, shrimp,chicken,pork, boiled bacon,lotus root and more!! And then they brought out the dumplings! There had been a dumpling making party earlier. The filling was shrimp, pork,cabbage, etc.We were certainly well fed. They were so excited to have us in their home ( 3 bdrm apt. of 4th floor) and so gracious.
Dad has succeeded in giving me his cold, but I'm fighting it like crazy. I don't want to go on vacation with a cold. I've been taking Airborn 3 times a day. We went out to dinner tonight so we wouldn't have any food in the refrigerator. We took two young girls with us and they took the left-overs home!
Take care. We love you all!! Be safe while we're gone!! Mom
