Jan 3rd 2012

So our finals are all over. Our grade sheets are turned in. We're free!!! Now what do we do??? We're sleeping better; not so much stress about teaching. In fact, We're sleeping longer/later !!

Last night we went to a Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert. A lot of Strauss and cartoon music.( You know, what you hear during the cartoons. Did you realize it was classical music?)The University bought us tickets.
We were so adventurous we even took the subway! Nelson & Jeanne had been on it before. Of course, we had to walk 2 miles to get to it, but it only cost $.16 each and it was fast. There was a lot of traffic last night. There's always a lot of traffic here. It's one of their biggest problems.

Today we walked over and bought an ink cartridge for our printer! It cost 100 yuan, about $15.50. The store is four stories of electronics. Every company you can think of has at least one stall there. I didn't know there were so many phone and computer and others things available!

Tonight we're having FHE at our house. I made lemon bars. The lemons say Del monte USA.They are big and wonderful and cheap. I will miss the convenience of walking across the street and buying fresh food at cheap prices. But I won't miss the dirt.

It is always dusty. I laugh at the women who shake their dust mops out the window. Isn't it just going to the sidewalk to be tracked inside again? But I've been doing it too lately. It's China! I don't know if rain will make it cleaner or worse. So far it's just been cold and windy.(I love my sunglasses Lori sent me!)

I need to mop the kitchen before our guests come. Dad's in there making something.

Camping at Cape Lookout July 16-19. Shellee reserved 6 spaces, no yurts available.

We will be done with our classes June 15th and then we have to do grade sheets.

Love you !!!!!!!! Mom & DAD XXXOOO
