where's the time?

well...I have thought of a lot of things to share recently...problem is, if I don't do it soon after I think of it...it disappears into the recesses of my mind...lol

We've been busy recently...a little crazy even. However, in spite of stress it has been very pleasant to see the Lord at work in small ways all around us.

We recently had some friends from Shanghai come to visit for 'May Day' or Labor Day as it's celebrated in China. They took some excellent pictures which are posted on their facebook site. Unfortunately, our camera is pretty much defunct. It has slowly degenerated over the year. Now we are lucky to get even a few pictures on 'fully charged' batteries. We don't really have enough technical prowress to know what to do...stink.

Well - we're off to our favorite supermarket now - no time to write! We go to this place, Auchan - it's a French chain a la Walmart in the States. It is three bus stops away. We usually have KFC for meals there whenever we take a big trip as it helps calm down the nerves after a fun filled day at the Chinese marketplace. :) Plus, Audriana loves the slide.

It would be ideal to share more of our day touring Hangzhou with our friends - we had a fabulous few days with them. Took the water taxi downtown for the first time, and explored the lake by boat, and then an island in the center of the lake shaped like a set of interlinked squares with water in the spaces between the lines...

We love hearing from you - sorry this is all we have to offer at the moment!

Blessings....
