I've been thinking about what story to tell for Anita's birthday, and I just couldn't narrow it down to one. Should it be our trip to the Chinese doctor who told us to squat 30 minutes a day to loose 30 pounds? The reason we just HAD to go to tennis lessons twice a week? or Anita's motorcycle ride down JingShunLu that still brings a smile to the Chinese men's faces? I guess there are just too
many stories to chose from, but I do know I will always be grateful that there was somebody just like me in Beijing. (Except that her South Carolina accent is just a bit different than my Texas accent..."war-ter" for "water" and "pocketbook" for "purse".) Happy Birthday to my Chinese partner in crime...if there was a costume to be
worn, a party to plan, or a ball to attend we had it covered. We miss you, and we can't wait to see you in July! (And, yes, in the pictures below that is me as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Anita as the most beautiful woman at the ball that night. And in the other picture I'm Velma from Scooby Doo and Anita is an "assistant to a knife thrower".)
