Qing's arrival and beyond .
Arnold:
Knowing the Chinese Folks and ....
.... some of their Customs/Beheaviors certainly helps living with them a lot easier.
This came in handy yesterday on Qings Birthday. See, the day before we had it all set to be having Dinner at the Rib place near our Home. Well, the Chinese love to change pretty much everything (even if it's set in Stone) at a moment's notice.
Like she called me at work to ask me "Where" we should go, as if we never even talked about it the day before. So, back and forth it went... Restaurant after Restaurant.
This was going on and most likely still would, if I didn't mention that I received just the day before an $10 discount Card from the "Yard House". That was like Music in my LaoPo's ears and she made up her mind on the spot, nothing was going to change it now.
Anyhow, we did have a wonderful time/dinner to my Sweetheart's delight.
I think those great "Beer's" they serve at the Yard House help us along with having a good time... haha.
After arriving back home, Dessert was waiting in the Fridge. Qing's favourite Ice Cream Cake from Coldstones. She felt "Special" and that's
what it is all about!

I see in the first photo that you have a few takeaways in the background ready to go home with.

I have never sat so close to that much Brew, without getting Snokered.. guess I lost it at my age?
Arnold:
Yesterday was... break out the Champagne day!
It certainly was a day to Celebrate!
The reason? All my LaoPo's hard work/studies had finally come to an successful end.
She passed her GED test with flying colours!
Finishing three of the five (5) categories (Math-Writing-Science) with a score over 500+ and the other two (2) with an average of 430... even running out of time and not answering all of the questions.
I am so proud of my Sweetheart, considering being Chinese (where Characters are a norm)... makes it even more so a success for her without a doubt.
Makes me think, would "I" be able to equal "Her" accomplishment? Then again; I would only worry about my Grammar, having to do the Test myself.
So, I did take her out for Dinner last night and opened a Bottle of my favourite Champagne.
Rhonald:
Great to hear such success. Now School's out for Summer.
