One week today

Well, we are on the downward side of our trip and have been with our daughter for one week.   Today we went to Shamian Island where she had her medical check up, and she was found to have bronchitis.  We got some medication for her and pray that it will take care of her congestion and restore her to health by the time we have to fly out on Friday.

Yesterday we visited the Chen Clan Temple and Katie Mei got some time to run amok.  She likes to lead us around and play chase with Mommy.  I really like these times because I don't have to carry her 24.7 pound patootie around.  I love holding her and  carrying her, but my back needs a rest.  It's fun to play chase, anyway.

Here are a few photos to hold you over until the next time.

Chinese New Year decorations at the hotel in Jiangxi.

Walking and being independent for awhile.

Feeling kind of lousy today.

Merrilee checking out the lucky carp at the White Swan Hotel.

These orange bushes are in front of lots of shops and are covered with fruit now.  Makes us all want to reach out and pick some. This one had lucky red envelopes for Chinese New Year all over it.
