Be careful with what you say. Kids are such copycats. -Me

Yes, we all know that. 

So, what do you say after this? 
Let me guess the letters…

You ordered a package and it arrived on time – looking like this:

 

Content was in fine condition, surprisingly. 

—

Driving along happily then this thing parked in front of your car – and no one would give way when you try to change lanes. 

—

Being stuck in this traffic jam of a lifetime:

   

—

 

One fine car

 

—

 
It’s ok, you can say the letters here. It’s safe.

Now, I’m sure this is a very fine school. But I had to look twice and see if I am reading it right.

When my son was three, I started to teach him how to write his name. Here’s what he came up with:

  

Think the Chinese blood in me is flowing strong in him.

 
Practicing his calligraphy, perhaps?

What about my hubby? 

Sure, he’s got some Chinese blood in him too!

After a few weeks apart one time – in between our move to another state, this is his welcome home:

 
Doesn’t it bear resemblance to this character sky?

  
 
 Except for that bit down there?

Sidetracked!: Treat Redefined

retreat, treat yourself

Doing the same things, working everyday and driving everyday, commuting everyday – takes a toll. 

So this last July, we had stopped work and went to England. 

On our way down to Cornwall, we had a stop over at Glastonbury and stayed here a couple nights. 

Visited the Glastonbury Abbey, a place of many retreats. 

A place to reflect on life. 

   

Aaaahhh…. Allow your eyes to wander on its green vastness. Such a feast. 

  

Except that my kids just want to run around like they’ve been caged all their life!

  

  

The place where we stayed in – The Flying Dragon’s Nest – was heavenly, as well. 

It’s got the best view of the town. 

 

See if you can spot Tesco

 
  

Blending in with the locals

 

… And of course – these treats…. 

Pictures courtesy of hubby when I was ‘craving’ something sweet. I was too tired to come out of our flat.  

So he took these pictures and I couldn’t make up my mind. So he got one of each.   

  

  

  

Fish n Chips

 
Treat and ReTreat. 

Something you want to give yourself over and over.   

Sidetracked!: Borderline Insanity

I-15 traffic, postaday, victorville traffic

Once upon a time

There lived a little girl

In a land where the red sun rises  

 
With it comes the long, scaly, red, fiery creature with a long pout

  
Scorches the entire sky – everytime

  

That sends everyone fleeing

  
But this one little girl knew its secret: 

Come out drenched in water

  

And all will soon be alright…
