Shiloh tried... but she couldn't figure-out the puzzle gloves.   Could her buddy DJ solve them? Yes. Warm, intriguingly-whimsical fun.

Happy Chinese Tomorrow!  Of course, tomorrow never truly arrives.   For us, every 13th of December is Chinese Tomorrow. A time to recognize the power of procrastination. And, to get started right away by having a tasty meal! Our 4th Annual Chinese Tomorrow was as delightful as a nice, warm bite of crab rangoon.   We talked about how nice it was to take a pause on everything and relax by enjoying some good food. Davis sampled the lemon chicken and  complimented our waitress on the good food. Once the fortune cookies arrived at the table, Davis chose his cookie and read his fortune aloud. It was probably the most fitting fortune, but we will never know for sure. The other fortune cookies will have to wait until tomorrow to be opened. 欢乐中国的明天！

you get, & sometimes you get got.

How about having Chinese food tomorrow?      Great! December 13th is Chinese Tomorrow! What is Chinese Tomorrow? When families get together for Chinese food and celebrate everything that is 'put-off' until tomorrow.   Here are a few rules: Everyone wears black (the actual day 'tomorrow' is dark & never sees a sunrise) Celebrate things that are put-off until tomorrow (find joy in those normally unpleasant procrastinations) Choose just one person to open a single fortune cookie (everyone else must wait until tomorrow ) Blog about it (post the fortune's lucky numbers as the title) Enjoy the great food! (Chinese food buffets are the best!)  欢乐中国的明天！
