Here, it is the fall equinox when it is time to visit the graves of the ancestors. Actually every season has this... Sign in to see full entry.

It is 33 (C) degrees out on this the 22nd day of September. This lingering heat has really lingered all too long. Although the nights are no longer tropical. there is no snow on Mt.

This morning a news report prompted this post. The report was about a woman who was 'only' a housewife but had a successful side business of making and selling hand made jewerly from semi-precious stones, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. In her interview, she emphasized the fact that she wasn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to get back to normal. But first, some pictures of what seems ages ago, but which is actually only a short three weeks back. My sister and I at lunch during her visit.
