On a different note : Qing took the driving Test yesterday and due to a heavy Rainfall got too nervous and failed . This test was planned for two weeks and of course it had to Rain on no? only that day , but as soon as Qing took off with the Examiner it started to come down . I felt sooo bad for my Sweetheart , hence I knew it was NOT going to turn out good . She does drive very well already . She drives herself to School and Back Home ( with me of course ) and does everything I have taught her right . Now , we will make an Appointment for three ?fo?r day's in advance only , so we can keep an Eye on the Weather-report and make sure NO???????

Ted , you are the Ambassador to China and you can't Log on Blogspot . :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin: Sorry I forgot .

Yan , thanks !
It is great when you start out with a wonderful Relationship like Qing and I , but one has to work on it to alway's improof it .. by caring / loving and doing Fun things together as a Couple beyond the Bedroom .
A good example , her failing the Test . This is when she needed me more , as she was very down on herself and still is somewhat . But I love her more because of it and I show it not just talk . We are of course are going to have up's and down's like in every Marriage , but this should only strengthen it .. not weaken it .

Cali driver or Shanghai driving skills. If its shanghai skills. She will fit in with our taxi cab drivers. If its cali driving. She will fit in with the rest that are well known for there. Ahem running red light stops. And ya know what i mean by that. But as long as she can keep it on the road she will be fine. Just keep her away from the casino. It will corrupt her.

A wonderful Weekend Visiting !

I must say , this past weekend was very nice .. including somewhat tiring . Having driven a total of some 530 miles round-trip to Visit a couple of Family member's near the Beach area around San Luis Obispo . Paso Robles and Los Osos to be exact .



This was by now " Our " furthest Trip away from Home , since Qing is with me . No need to tell you , driving in a Car is not a Chinese favorite past-time thing to do . But at the same time , she was eagerly awaiting to meet some of my late Wife's Cousin and ex-Sister in-law . So going through some of California's Farming and Cattle Fields in the flat lands of the Bakersfield area . Including Cotton fields and for myself actually a somewhat boring drive ... having done this an countless number of times heading North . The later part ( to Paso R. ) of this Journey , took us through the more nicer Mountainous drive and through the Wine Country surrounding Paso Robles . Having reached our first goal at the Cousin's House , where we expected to spend the night and move on to the second leg ( to Los Oslo ) of this Trip . After spending a wonderful afternoon with my Cousin and her meeting Qing for the first time and talking of old and new times . Something that could have gone on forever , if we didn't start to think about Dinner . My LaoPo and I ask where there is a good place to eat in Paso R. and as I should have known .. my Cousin suggested a Chinese Buffet in Town . Ohhh .. why not we thought ? After all it been tooo long having had Chinese Food .. hahaha .



As my Cousin had to take care of an elder Lady at her house , we decided .. hence it was only about 6:30 pm and we did not want to retire so soon . We agreed to take a short Drive to Cambria , which was about half hour away . That by itself was very exciting as we had timed it just right for the soon coming Sunset at Moonstone Beach across the street from Cambria so to speak . Try to include a couple of Photo's if I can .



After a good night sleep , that we desperately needed .. it was to say Goodbye to my Cousin and hit a close Coffee Shop for some Brew and some Breakfast food for the coming drive to Los Osos . Having filled both our Tank's , it was time to hit the Road and back to Cambria . Why Cambria again ? Well the day before looking into a few Art Galleries and Souvenir Shop's , we came across a wonderful little ( but heavy ) solid stone Buddha . Something I was looking for to put in my Backyard by the Waterfall and Garden I was planning to build soon . Perfect I though , going to look great and at the same time ... something from Home for my Sweetheart to enjoy .




By then , it was time to meet my Ex Sister in-law and spend the rest of the day in Los Osos and Morro Bay . This also was the first time for her meeting my LaoPo , that I was telling sooo much and to sooo many People as I was still waiting for Qing to receive her Visa . I guess ( I know ) they all know now , why I always carried a smile and was in a Super mood every time they saw me prier of Qing's arrival . Spend an equally pleasant and wonderful day as before , but the weather had turned colder and the Sky started to get Cloudy more and more as the hours went by . Of course us thinking " Warm " , were caught with pretty much only the warm blancket I always have in the Car for just those kind of situations . I was in Short's and T-Shirt , but I was only thinking of my Sweetheart .. making sure she felt warm and enjoyed the View's and not ruin her Trip because of freezing to death .



As previously , we enjoyed a wonderful Dinner ( well late Lunch at the Waterfront ) but Inside this time . The outside Heater's just weren't enough to keep everybody comfortable and preventing us to indulge in this awesome Seafood Sandwich and Salad they famous for .



Back it went to my Sister's house and to have the Dessert that would have cost us too much at the Restaurant . Besides , we were stuffed and needed to relax a couple of hour's of being shown the very beautiful Beach Area around Los Osos and the Neighboring Town's/Cities . By almost 7:00 pm , myself and the two Lady's were ready for some Coffee ( Home brewed ) and the now made room for Dessert .



Being well treated for the last two day's , it was time to head Home . By now it was nightfall and looking at about a three hour drive to finally sink into our own warm Bed ... dreaming ??? Of course , a good night sleep and the great weekend we shared together .

Another wonderful Weekend passed .
It seems that , ones you have spend a wonderful Weekend with your LaPo , the going back to Work on Monday's is not so bad after all .
This Weekend started actually out on Friday after just stepping through my front door coming home . Qing was on the Phone and was really excited seeing me . Well , not that it was all because of me being home .. no .. she was talking to somebody that is a Member on the Official Chnlove Forum . Also , he lives in Palmdale . This is the second time I have talk with this Person ( Gary ) is his name . But this time , after Qing handed me the Phone .. was going to be special . He ask me , if he could meet both of us for some Coffee sometime . Here I thought , why not tomorrow for Breakfast at an nearby Restaurant . So it was set up to meet not only Gary , but also his Mom . The reason for his eager to meet us .. well the two things actually , one being Qing and I met at Chnlove and the second being .. she is from Shanghai . He's been to China before , meeting up with a Girl in Changsha . But , he and his Mom are planning to go back to China for a couple of months and do some Traveling with a friend of his that is Chinese . Naturally I was looking forward meeting this Member and his Mom .
As it turned out , they were quite nice People with a Russian background . To Qing's and my surprise , he was also in Japan for some time and spoke Japanese quite well . Qing's just loves having a chance to use her language skills of both Chinese and Japanese equally . That is as always great to see/listen to , even not understanding one word . Well one or two maybe . haha
On Sunday , it was going to be Yard work . We first started to set up the Swing-bench that Qing had wanted and then .. it was over to the other side of the backyard to start working on my Waterfall and Cactus Garden I have planned . While I was busy with that , Qing on the other side drew some Character's on one of our big Rocks next to the Swing-bench . Those I will carve out later with chisel and hammer and have her paint them Red of course afterwards . One thing I found out since my LaoPo is with me , is ... no matter what we do around the House or outside/away from it ... it is such a pleasure to do things together as LaoGong and LaoPo . I also feel , she's feeling the same way about me .

Two great posts Arnold.  I look forward to the day when Peggy and I are doing similar things.  We talk about it quite a bit.  You posts are encouraging and I can't wait to see pictures of what the two of you are building in the back yard.

What are you a cave man? Get yourself a Dremel or Rotozip?  ;)

Arnold, Is that suppose to be a small pond? or waterfall? Is there a lining under it? Doesn't seem like there is one. Otherwise whatever water you put in there it will drain away.
