T-Shirts

I get the biggest kick out of t-shirts.  You rarely see t-shirts that have Chinese characters on them; if they say something they are almost always in English.  Some make sense.  Some are poor translations.  Some have misspellings.  Some just resemble English.  Some just have random letters of the alphabet sectioned off as words.   And then you have the t-shirts that have dual logos on them such as "North Face Gucci." We saw one that had a registered trademark symbol, but instead of an 'R' in the circle, there was an 'a'.   It's all very, very entertaining! I don't have photos of the best ones we've seen on people, but I grabbed these tonight in a single store. They are plentiful!  Maybe I need to do a weekly post: T-shirt Tuesday or something.  Enjoy!

    So funny! I need to get one of those ones that says "Wild Zone" and an "e" onto wild and give it to my daughter (or Cheryl) :)

While We Are Waiting: Temples!

I love the temple.  When I first learned of the possibility of us moving to China in December 2019, one of my first questions was "How can I leave the temple?"  That question was answered in part during the closure of temples in 2020. However, when the joint venture was signed and Tom was officially offered the position in China in November 2020, I began fasting and praying that I would be able to attend the temple just once before we left.  Our original flights were for July 7, 2021 and just a few weeks before that, our temple opened up and miraculously we were able to get 2 appointments for baptisms and 4 other appointments for Tom and I before our departure date.  I can't express my deep gratitude for those 6 precious appointments.  Then when we didn't obtain a visa in time for those flights and access to nearby temples was given, I took up a new hobby.  Temple scheduling.  The girls teased me it was a bit of an obsessed hobby; but since we will go ...

Medical Check Ups -- China Style

 I knew our medical check up would be extraordinarily different from what I could ever imagine, and recognizing that, I thought I was prepared for anything. I was wrong. Very wrong.  I could have never dreamed up what was. We had to drive 45 minutes to the medical center for foreigners.  Yet we were the only foreigners.  Stella explained that it was also for international travelers. For such limited traveling allowed, it was sure packed. Tom asked a couple of people where they were traveling to and they said they weren't traveling.  So we don't know why there was such a crowd.  In the back of my heart, I was slightly hoping that since it was for foreigners that it might feel less foreign.  Wishful thinking. Note to self:  don't ever ever hope for things to not be foreign. We first registered.  It only took about 15 minutes.  For us, that is lickety split.  We got print outs with the work we needed done: "Blood taking, x-ray, urine s...

An Accomplishment!

 The process: Cut the recipe in half so that the bread will fit in your teensy tinsy oven. Convert everything to metric--- ingredient amounts and water temperature. Get your purified water to the right temperature. Measure ingredients out. Mix it up.  Humidity changes things.... Hope you did it right. Shape and let rise. Convert oven temperature to Celsius. My little oven heats up nicely, but you get to guess when it is preheated. Notice there are no smoke alarms in your kitchen. Hmm.   Decrease the cook time and cross your fingers that is right.  Add a cooking thermometer to the shopping list. Let it cool for a long time because you only have a small serrated knife for cutting it. Slice and eat.  It probably could have tasted pretty awful and we would have thought that bit of home tasted very delightful!  But it was quite good! Needs a little more salt, but that is an easy adjustment.   And it could have been crustier, but we're at a point o...
