Chinese New Year, follow-up

Well, we survived the Chinese New Year holiday. I thought the 9 days would be rough, with Huck asking for his beloved Ayi several times a day when one of us told him "no." That was not the case, though. I think he was so happy to have his whole family around him all the time, that he didn't have time to miss her. We had a great week (other than the laundry and cleaning bathrooms.) :-)

One thing that is still going on, though, since the holiday lasts 15 days, is that business is slow. The grocery store shelves are not full. This morning I went to the grocery store and they only had two carrots!

A side note about carrots... One of the things we miss most about America, other than family and friends, of course, is BABY CARROTS. Jack, Jed and Huck used to eat pounds of these each week, but here, they don't have them, and though I keep peeled carrot sticks available all the time, they just aren't the same.
