On Saturday night, our friends from Denver, the Hauges, returned for a quick dinner before they headed back to Denver. The kids all decided they wanted Din Tai Fung again, so off we went.
While waiting for dinner, after choosing what dumplings we would have, I snapped a picture of Brooks in front of all the Christmas decorations that went up shortly before Halloween. In the center of this mall, a retailer is selling down coats and suitcases.
After a sad goodbye Saturday night with a promise to see each other soon (this summer) and with the hope of traveling together next October (maybe Bali?!Vietnam??), Laney and I spent a Sunday afternoon in our local town center. I got a haircut, and we both went for a spa manicure and pedicure. NOT cheaper than the US, but much cheaper than on Orchard Road, the upscale part of town where many expats live. On our return, we went grocery shopping and got caught in a downpour. Rainy season has truly begun-I pretended it was snow!
The block adjacent to our local super market, Fair Price, was flooded. We had to walk through about six inches of water to get to higher ground.
Everyone looks healthy and happy ! I think it rains everywhere but CO !
ReplyDeleteThe new touches to the blog are amazing!
The stories & pictures are terrific. What memories you-all will have to reflect upon as the years go by! So funny that in the middle of such a warm place they sell down coats! Wonder if the prices are great. And the mani/pedi sounded like great fun... no fishies though, right? What a great visit with the Hauges. Now my mouth is watering for dumplings from Din Tai Fung!
