Everyone know it's Halloween. We went out for trick or treat just like every year. And this year the result was fantastic. We met some new neighbors and got a big bag of candy at the end of the night. All my kids were having fun. I think it's a very good memory to them.

The days were getting shorter and shorter. It went completely dark before 5:30 PM. I usually don't have a time schedule for grocery shopping. Today we went out before dinner time. The stores were almost close. But that was the time for good deals. There was a store selling mushroom for $0.99 per pound and the lady in that store wanted me buy all her mushroom, I only bought three pounds. That's the maximum amount I could handle.

It's Veteran's Day. We usually don't do much on this day. We just went to the park. The kids had fun by playing with sand. I took some pictures when I saw a homeless guy had a rooster as a pet. My kids were so excited. They have been eating countless chicken in their lives. But it's very rare to see a live one.

It is Friday The Thirteen today. I am surfing the HK Yahoo blog just like usual. All of a sudden ,my computer goes freeze. The computer acts like all of the memories are not there. I know that the audio sound funny lately. It's still working but up to this point. The Chinese Window XP is not running at all and I don't have the recovery disc in hand. I only can find the English o/s disc. So I can only type English now. Oh well, if you want a translation. Go to google language tool get it translate into Chinese. 可以用 Google 翻譯回中文! Good luck.

The neighbor next door mentioned about the blackberry in the park to Evelyn couple days ago. Since then, she's been bugging me for going to the park to pick blackberry. Alright, I see today is sunny so I bring her and Fanny to the park to see if we could find any. I know it is out of the season, did not have much hope. But we still can find a handful of blackberry. The girls are so excited. They can not wait to show them to Daddy.

Today is sunny. We go out in the afternoon for grocery shopping. Right when we turn to the corner we see some neighbors doing garage sale. I am not addicted to shopping. Therefore I did not buy anything. Just my kids being curious to see what they are selling. The lady there was generous enough to give them a butterfly napkin holder as a complimentary gift. And she also put some bluster on Evelyn's face. That's give her rosy cheeks. Oh my, I guess there is no free lunch in this world.

Halloween 2009

Good to see some neighbors decorate their homes for Halloween. That's mean they will treat children who are trick or treating. Happy Halloween.

Colma

Colma is a little town 10 miles south of San Francisco. There are lots of cemeteries. That’s why some says it a city of death. But actually it is a safe area. The crime rate is very low. They also have car dealers and mobile home parks. Would you want to make a home here?

Home Made Bread

I enjoy baking bread. In the matter of fact, my kids love it. So, I bake bread very regularly. I am not saying I am a very good baker but be able to make bread from scratch, it gives me pride.

Downpour

It’s been long time we did not have long downpour. It brought us several inches of rain which is good because California is in drought. We needed the rain.

Columbus Day

I watched this movie (1492: Conquest of Paradise ) to celebrate this holiday today. Anyone has seen this movie before? The film was made in 1992, which was an 500^th anniversary. It is a big Hollywood production but the box office did not do well. I guess Americans know the history well. They don’t need to see the movie to remind them this bloody history.

Fleet Week 2009

The Walt Disney Museum

The brand new museum was just opened on October 1. It’s not a theme park. It’s about Mr. Walt Disney’s life. In here, you will learn how this Disney kingdom was begun. If you were a Disney fan, this would be a good place to go. www.waltdisney.org

Charity

These sections are from Chapter Thirteen of Corinthians 1 of The New Testaments.

4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

~~I hope this will help some of you out there.~~

California Sunshine

No matter how tough the situation is, when I see this blue sky I will feel much better.

Playing In The Fog

We went to the Golden Gate Park the other afternoon. The fog was very thick. Actually we were in the mist. But it did not bother the kids. They ran around on the lawn outside the Conservatory Of Flowers. There were very few visitors. Basically we were all by ourselves. See, how free they were. Running and rolling down the lawn hill.

I Kiss A Girl

May I kiss you everyday. May I hug you everyday. Until my lips are no longer be able to kiss. Until my arms are no longer be able to hold. Just an impulse in the morning made me write this.

Being Visit

Who’s this delivery guy? Ha, it’s Uncle John. We had a big surprise on September 11 this year. Uncle John came to San Francisco from Hong Kong for a work trip for two days. So, we got to have lunch together and talked about families and friends. The kids were too excited, they only could see him on internet most of the time. Now, they would not miss the chance to hug and kissed him. After that, a few hours had passed, it’s time for him to said good bye. So, we walked him to the bus stop and said bye bye to him when he got on the bus. We miss him already.

Labor Day Hot Dog

We are not working class but we still celebate this day by grilling hot dog and having potato clips and marshmallows for lunch. The kids love it. What do you think?
