ok Arnold i cant resist    HOW :icon_cheesygrin:

Well Ted , you ask for it .
 I met my first Wife when I was 24 and she was 36 and had seven Children already at that time and had two husbands . Just before we got married , my first Grand-daughter was born from the oldest Step- daughter . Hence Grandpa at 24 . Now I have 19 Grandkids and five ( sixth on the way ) great-grandkids . See what LOVE can do to you ? One better watch out !!!
She was alway's like a measuring stick .. so to speak for my first marriage . She is 33 now in a few months .

Arnold,

ok i see i didnt know your first wife was older which explains this. 19 grandkids wow
i have 7 right now with more being planned by both sons. so i will end up probably
with 10 0r 11 i think, i took all 7 to disneyland and the area around you know
knotts berry,universal and i needed a vacation when i got home lol!!!! after that week

[Arnold]

Hahaha ... yeah Christmas's and other Holiday's were never boring at that time . Especially , when some of them don't get along too well . But like they say , those you can alway's give back or send them Home . And your right , one needs a vacation after such event's .

my oldest grandson is now 18 and i am trying to convince him to come to
China to live with Sisi and i. He can help me in the english school i am starting
to get developed and up and running with a partner here in China.

Arnold,  I am so sorry, all those kids to buy presents for at christmas.  Perhaps the Chinese have the correct idea and that is RED envelopes.  One envelope fits
all...:icon_cheesygrin:

Your correct on needing a vacation after an event like that...:angel:

[Arnold]

I wish I had known about them Envelopoe's at that time , what a Headach it would have prevented .. for sure . Well , but we do have Giftcard's now .. not bad either .

[ttwjr32]

gift cards--- our version of the red envelope

Here are some more Photo's for the Photo-starved Guy's .
 
Some are from last weekend at the Hunington Library in Pasadena . Other's are from this weekend at the Renaissance Faire in Irvindale . Took Qing back in time some 500 year's , which she enjoyed very much and of course that keeps me happy as well .

PS: Pinky and the Blue Boy ( by Gainsbrough ) are the originals . Talk about looking right at a few dozen Mill's each .. right in front of you and NO???

I thought that was Blue Boy arnold i looked at the pics before reading the post...:icon_cheesygrin:

Very nice pics mate

[shaun]

Great photos Arnold.  I especially liked the last one.

[ttwjr32]

great pics Arnold and i am sure it was a fun day for the two of you.
 Renaissance fairs always make for a great day. have you done the pacific coast
 highway drive yet with her? that is always a good trip up the coast with
 many great stops along the way.

Arnold nice pictures.I think renisaunce fairs are great.And like Ted said.I think Qing would like the Pacific coast highway.I did that drive about 7 years ago.It was real cool.

[Arnold]

Ted - Maxx , I guess you can't read my Blog or you two would know what happened about the Trip I had planned to Carmel-Monterey and San Francisco . But Qing did not want to miss any of her ESL Classes , so I canceled that Trip . We will now go to Vegas for a few day's instead . The Coast Highway must wait a while more . I've been going to Carmel almost every year on my late Wife's and My Anniversary . Want to continue this tradition with Qing . But both of you should know , how important School is to the Chinese .
