It's just a little after 11 pm and lo and behold - we are still up - miracles do happen.
We just finished a night with our Chinese visitors from our JiangXi facility. We had dumplings, shrimp, tofu and chicken and steamed pork buns. I have been cooking since yesterday!

Here's to you, Barney - I WILL see you again, in Heaven.

Here is the family picture we used for our Christmas / Holiday cards this year:
OK, it is crooked - I did straighten the image out, but I can't find that one at this time being, so I just loaded this one in.
The picture was taken along the pier in Plymouth, MA in July. I thought the lighting was magical, with the sun setting.
