Recent Happenings

Lately it seems I am always busy. I never do much, but still- I am busy! Our 17th wedding anniversary was in April and we went away for two nights to Princeton, New Jersey. We had never been there, and we just loved the area. We left on Friday, and Friday night we ate at P.F. Chang's for the first time. It's a good thing there are none of those around me or I'd be there every day! We really enjoyed it! The weather was gorgeous and we sat on the patio and ate.

On Saturday, there was an art show in a neighboring town and we went. It was at the Croft Farm Art Center in Cherry Hill. It is an old farm that is hundreds of years old and it was even a stop on the Underground Railroad. Now it is an arts center. We bought a panda painting for Jade's room by an adorable Chinese artist. He was born in Guangzhou and told us that he hoped his painting would bring good luck and happiness for our family. He signed the back of our painting for us and drew two pandas in a heart on the back.

We shopped around Princeton and had a nice lunch at a cozy place. We had gelato and sat on a bench outside to eat it. It felt like summer vacation even though it was onyl April! We had room service for dinner on Saturday night. Then on Sunday, we ate lunch again at P.F. Chang's before heading home. It was truly a wonderful anniversary weekend.

Our next big plan is to go to NYC on the June 9 weekend. We are going to the big FCCNY Chinese festival at Liberty State Park on Saturday, but we decided to head to the city early on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. It will also be a great feeling when we're there knowing that I only have three more days of school. I wish I could be finished, but it could be worse, I guess.

We went to see the third Spiderman today. It was okay, but it got a bit corny in the middle when Peter turned "bad." Still, I love going to the movies. It is always exciting to me. They showed a preview for the new Harry Potter which starts July 13, so I am looking forward to that.

Next weekend, my sister and I are taking Mom out to a fancy Mother's Day brunch at a very pretty restaurant. It should be a nice time.

That's about all the news...counting down the days until school is out. The summer can't get here fast enough!
