Residence day.

It is residence day at the Warren Condo Complex. There has been syncronized swimming performances, guess the guppies, cotton candy, popcorn, carnival games. All fun under the hot, hot sun. We spent about 15 minutes are the festivities and then decided to bail because it was so incredibly hot. Instead, we went to Cold Storage grocery store and stocked up. I’m getting all antsy just cooking meat with garlic and onions, so I bought ingredients for 4 dishes from the only cooking magazine I have, Gourmet. We’ll see if I have enough energy to see it through.

Vince and Edda just put Jeremy down for a nap. Jeremy had a pretty busy and productive week at work.

Settling in Denver

Well, we gradually are settling in Denver. We found a nice economical community pool and swam twice a week. During the weekend, we are seldom in our efficient studio. We traveled a lot to see different places. Next weekend, a long weekend, we are planning to visit several National Park in Utah.

Well, this is golden time for us. Together almost every minute 🙂 and we really enjoy it.

Porky the rabbit.

Today we spent the morning at one of our neighbor’s apt. There are 3 other apartments on our floor and I’m getting to know all the neighbors. Today we went to Ann’s house. She is a housewife and her kids are grown up and married. She has a cute rabbit named Porky. Edda and Vince loved playing with Porky. Ann is also a good cook. I’m glad to have her as a reference, some of the recipes here I don’t understand the ingredients, but she’ll tell me what to look for at the supermarket.

Busy and fun weekend

We did not have to work last Friday. Every other Friday is off day. We left ar 4:30 Thursdat afternoon from office to Salida? a small town. Stayed at local motel and had nice dinner at local restraint – the motel manager told us. It is the only good rastraint in the town called “Laughing Lady”. There were lots of people. We had our dinner at padio over look the montains. I ordered soup and fish. Daddy had steak and red wine. The food was very good. Later, the waiter told us the cook came from Napa Velley, CA. As a mater of fact, the cook greeted us when we were waiting and later he showed us the table. The desert was very good too. we only ordered one we shered.

Next day (Friday) we went black rock national park, Mesa Verdi national park, and four corners. We took picture with two hands two feet covered all 4 states.(UT, CO, NM, AZ. We stayed at four corner casino and played $10 slot for half hr. It was even. no win no loss.

Saterday we came back and stopped at Sand dume. It is smaller (but still very hurge one) than the white sand in NM ( May be in TX). They formed differently. The white sand was ocean shore. The sand dume in CO is formed by river, wind and mountains.

Daddy drove 1100 mile total.

35 Years of Marriage

Well, today is our 35 years of marriage. We have known each other for 38 years. Looking back, just have “yuan feun” as Chinese often say. In there, there are a lot of “sour, sweet, bitter & spicy” stuff and they have all been worked out very well all along.

Mom is pretty “exceptional” and me “too” 🙂 BTW, Doris, thanks for calling.
