Visitors since 10/1/2010
It's just a little after 11 pm and lo and behold - we are still up - miracles do happen.
We just finished a night with our Chinese visitors from our JiangXi facility. We had dumplings, shrimp, tofu and chicken and steamed pork buns. I have been cooking since yesterday!
I think they had a good time, but we do have tons of leftovers! I took some pictures and will post when I get them into the computer.
Happy 2006!!
Today I learned that my good friend and mentor, Barney, passed away on December 24 from complications stemming from liver cancer. He had only been diagnosed in September.
I still remember the last words he said to me in person - it was the Friday before we were leaving Evansville to move to Illinois and he was dropping me off from a good-bye function. He said "Don't worry, Shirley, we will see each other again".
Here's to you, Barney - I WILL see you again, in Heaven.
You Belong in London |
 A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well. |
The kids opened ALL of their gifts in record time - 19 minutes this morning - so fast that I didn't have any time to take any pictures - ugh!! Oh well, there will be plenty of opportunity for pictures of the kids playing with their toys.
It is a grey day, but we are so very thankful to celebrate the Birth of Jesus.

OK, I think I have some of this set up stuff under control, so I will attempt some sort of a "real entry".
Here is the family picture we used for our Christmas / Holiday cards this year:
OK, it is crooked - I did straighten the image out, but I can't find that one at this time being, so I just loaded this one in.
The picture was taken along the pier in Plymouth, MA in July. I thought the lighting was magical, with the sun setting.
