Day off

I had the day off today and gave the front porch a little face lift.


I also managed to clean every corner of my house. I wish it would stay this way forever.

Gone

Andy is gone with the scouts camping and hiking the narrows. This is the first time I have spent the night at our house without him and I don't like it.


We made a trip to Sports Authority to get some of the things he needed for the hike as well as some new goggles since we've been swimming in the mornings. When we got home, he put on everything we bought! I just love this man - he cracks me up.

Something New

This is my friend, Bailu, from China. She works with me at SUU. This is us bowling last week.

Then, we decided to try something new for Sunday dinner. We invited Bailu over to cook authentic Chinese food for us.

Look at her cute cooking smock. She was giving us orders: "chop this, slice that". But it was well worth it:

Soy-Ginger Pork Ribs with Scallions.


Yellow Fish straight from Chinatown in Las Vegas. It was probably my favorite dish. She cooked it with the head and all.

Eggs with tomatoes. Yummy.

And, most everyone's favorite, eggplant with peppers, ginger and scallions.

Annie

We saw this performed at Tuacahn Amphitheatre with my family and we loved it. It brought back all the memories of watching this movie as a child. It was fun seeing my nieces and nephews experience it for the first time. Now I have all the tunes in my head "It's a hard knock life for me..."
