Toys for Kids & Gifts for Adults

One thing i love for kiddie parties is that it is not hard to find gift for a little girl or a little boy.  The choices are endless but what moms complain most of the time is time.   It takes time to pick the right thing from the vast choices of toys you can find in every toy store or even online.

Yesterday, someone celebrated her birthday and luckily she is not a little girl but an adult one. It was so easy to pick something for her. I picked a flower silver brooch for Ma’am Ruby and i also buy a butterfly silver brooch for Ma’am Apple as a give-away gift. She will be leaving us soon for a new work assignment. Surely i will miss her but am comforted in the thought that every time she will use the bar pin, she will be able to think of me.

From LA with Love! :)

Postcards! (banana dance d more)

All of these are from the one of the beautiful and kindest blogger i met in the blogosphere – Mommy Ebie! She is not my mom but i just like calling her mommy because she is one. Her one and only darling daughter Zeee is way way younger than me but i feel we are like sisters.

I know mommy E took the efforts of preparing these stamps to be shared to her online friends.  Then before they took a trip to Death Valley, i mentioned to her if she can pick some postcards for me, then i would really appreciate it.  The two cards here are from Death Valley and that Lone Pine was a place they visited some months back.

I will be scanning these cards for individual posting here in this blog, but will do so when the scanner is not so busy anymore and i also have the time to scan.   But it will be soon.!

Again, thank you Mommy Ebie!  You are the best!

I Got Mail!

After the morning worship, I came to the office to check my farms instead of going back to sleep.  I was on and off yesterday from my farms so i saw a lot of wasted crops this morning.  When i checked my mailbox, I got a mail from one of my chinese friends.  I greeted him Happy New Year in chinese pin yin but  only 99% right.  Hmm the spelling eh.  He also mentioned that this year is his brother’s so they wish him luck.  One thing good news about him now is permanent employment status in his Beijing company. We are also so happy for him. The last time i saw them was in Spring Festival 2005. Hmm that was five years ago.

Frank and I greeted each other valentine greetings through email because China blocked Facebook. They are blocked in most network sites. Good thing there is still yahoo. :)

Love All the Way from Sydney, Australia!
