Your Prayers are welcome
All,
Just wanted to add a quick note regarding my mom. Earlier this afternoon I received a call informing that a huge oak tree had fallen on her home of 20+ years. Fortunately, she was at the movies with my sisters when this happened. She learned of the horrible event from my Uncle Dewey. He ran into the movie theater yelling her name.
When she arrived home, the emergency vehicles were still there and she saw the damage. The tree fell through the living room, kitchen and back room... I am confident she will not be able to continue living in it. Her and my brother-in-law Jack were able to grab some of her belongings but the rain and wind made it much too dangerous to be in the house. The insurance adjuster contacted her within 20 minutes of letting them know of the accident and she will talk with someone else from the agency tomorrow.
For the time being, she is staying with my sister and can use your prayers.
Thanks,
Bill

This past weekend we were invited to partake in a yearly celebration with some of our friends. Every year, Lai and Billy have a Chinese New Year Party and this year was no excepion. We had been invited in the past;however, this was our first time attending.
2008 is officially known as they Year of the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac. There are a total of 12 animals in Chinese Astrology: Rat, ox, rabbit, Tiger, Dragon, Snake,Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. I was born during the year of the sheep and Traci during the year of the horse.

The party consisted of LOTS of homemade Chinese food, 15-20 friends, bubble tea, too many deserts and some Chinese Karoke being piped through a laptop computer. I brought a bottle of Sake that I had been holding onto for about 18 years. I figured there was no better time than a Chinese celebration to crack open the Japanese beveage. I won it while on the island of Okinawa in 1990 participating in a sumo-wrestling contest. I beat three people and won two bottles of Sake. I was finally beat by one of the local sumo champs.

If you ever have the chance to attend a Chinese New Year event, by all means, do it!
