A Few Thousand Words












Hopefully, these pictures will paint my story....



Here are a few photos to reflect our recent trip to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Ellysa and Emily are pictured in the courtyard near the Shekou Int'l Elemmentary School. They are also together in near the entrance of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant in Hong Kong's Aberdeen area. The picture of the house under construction should give you the idea that we really are getting a stand-alone house. It also reveals what "redecoration" means in China! The interior pic. is of Emily looking over the construction plans. There were many workers everywhere and it was hard to get pictures.
As our high speed journey continues, today finds us at in a hotel in south Georgia, on the way to a wedding in St. Petersburg. Erin drove most of the way; we will get to unwind a bit before the return to Knoxville to begin the sorting process. Some days it feels like we have to move a mountain by August. Breath....

  1. Mare--I just saw this one as I was in Elk Mound the day you wrote it. So if you close on the house in Knoxville July 15, will you move to China right away, or stay somewhere else temporarily? Thinking if you every day--be sure to eat well and sleep!!! Love, Me
