2017 to 2018 - Happy New Year

Hello friends, family, passerby’s, and maybe even stalkers!! It is officially 2018. Year of the dog. Wow. Can you believe another year is gone. Another chapter in history is written.

Second update, we will be flying home February 1-February 17, leaving again for China bright and early on the 18th. We are looking forward to seeing family and eating all that processed sugary foods we grew up with! The chocolate tastes different here. There isn't twizzler or tootsie rolls in the stores. Forget about cheeze its. We will definitely stock up. Third, our school had its 2017 Appreciation Night.  The foreign teachers did a short Robin Hood pla...
