Mid week today....

Hi:

This picture is from Blackdragon Park in Kunming China  It is a very nice park, but cold on the day we went there.

I finished reading Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power.  It is an excellent book and I highly recommend to everyone.  It is a long book, but ends about half way through it.  The rest are pictures of individuals and a lot of footnotes.

I have three library books that I will read next.

Not much else happening here today. I am waiting for two packages to arrive today or tomorrow.

Friday today....

Hi again:

This picture was from our parade last 4th of July.

I was hot that day but with a strong wind that was blowing that day.

This year my wife will be with me.

I am reading Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power.  I have it in my Kindle Fire and I am reading every day.

Not much else happening here.

I tried mowing the lawn here yesterday, but only go a small part of mowed after two hours. I will try again today to mow the lawn here.

Easter Sunday...

Happy Easter to Everyone Read this blog.

The picture here is of snow from a few months ago.  We had just a little snow this past winter.

I am now reading Postcards from Tomorrow's Square by James Fallows.  I am reading it for the articles on it are China. All of the articles are on China.

I am more than half way through this book on Kindle. I will finish it probably today.

I hope you enjoy this special day.  At Mass at 8:00 a.m,. the church was so filled.  Even the choir in the back of church was filled.

Good Friday today...

This picture is right down from my apartment in Kunming China.  The apartment building are very big in China.

I am watching Super Size Me, a movie about eating McDonald's for 30 days.  After this movie came out McDonald's stop offering super size.  Mississippi is the fattest state in the union.  One of four people there are way overweight.

I have not watched this movie for some time.  It is so funny.

I am now reading Book Lust about books that she reads.

Not much else happening here today, on Good Friday.

Tuesday once again....

Hi again:

This picture is my wife.  This picture was taken a few years ago as you can tell by the three stockings behind her.

Her hair is now blond, its natural color.

I keep saying next week she will be here but I don't know when she will arrive in Oregon. She has never been to Oregon at all.  So much to show her when she is here....

I am now reading Papal Sin by Garry Wills.  Like him I do not follow what the Pope tells us. Our new pope is way too conservative for me.  I don't know when we will ever get a liberal pope.  I hope it happens during my lifetime.

Five bars of gold are in England.  So as I pay the custom duty fee they will ship five bars to me.  I will sell two bars of gold (each bar weighs 2.2 pounds or 1 kilo).

I will save three bars of gold for the 84 bars of gold are sending to me after Helen comes.

Each bar of gold is worth $54,000 so I will go from being a poor man to a rich man.

We are buying a house when Helen arrives here. We have one picked out already.  I will show you some pictures after we buy that house.  I have some on my computer now, but it too early to show them to  you.

This is what happening with me now.
