Packing day

There's been a peak of activity here during the last two days; grandsons aged 2 and 4, their parents, extended family and friends. The motivation was Thanksgiving and the joy was the fellowship with wonderful people.

With the flurry of activity in the past and our awesome trip to China looming before us, we are recouping and preparing. Preparation means a talk for a couple universities, charging batteries and uploading pictures, and even checking off the list of clothing as we wash and fold.

It seems as if all flights and tickets are accounted for and this email with an attached picture is the final test for our possible blogging using the iPad from China. Hopefully the next entry with successfully come from a day away: China.

(It seems as if pictures are not an option from the iPad.)
