Worth a Thousand Words

Mom, I'm going to teach you how to be a kid again

So, I followed along.....


Catching a fish
Swinging on the vine/swing
Bouncing on the tree branch
Walking on the bricks
Catching lightning bugs
Rolling in the dirt--um, I skipped this one
Running a funny way

Whew! I think I found a weight loss program!! Thank you, I 6!

Passions and a Birthday

Happy Birthday, J 14!

What better way to celebrate J 14's birthday than with an Asian meal, this time at the Japanese Hibachi Grill. Way too much food!!!!

A Passion for Cooking

Our next Asian meal was Pepper Steak with Fried Rice--very good!

A Passion For Cooking

For our next Asian meal, we made Sesame Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, and Egg Rolls. So far, this is our favorite meal!

A Passion for Cooking

Asian cooking has become a passion for J 14, so we are trying to cook a meal at least once a week.  She is rating her meals, up to five stars (like Amazon).  Our first meal was General Tso Chicken and Bubble Tea.

 Thank you to Learn to Cook Chinese --

Books

Enjoyed, Owl Moon, and went owling, as the book says, "My brothers all said, sometimes there's an owl, and sometimes there isn't." For us, there wasn't- at least on this night.

We loved Mrs. Katz and Tush, Mrs. Katz was known for saying, "such a person" and I overheard (several times) I 6 saying, "such a person!"
