After the good night we had last night. She poked her head in before going to bed and said goodnight, Jim. In English. I said good night baby see you in the morning. My wife was very happy about how the evening went.
But being the age I am I waited this morning to see which way the wind was blowing before saying anything. LOL. Everything was good. She even brought in all of her fingernail polish and asked me to rate them 1-10. So I did. then she did. the bottom half was close, the top half was a bit different but not really that far off. She seemed pleased with that. We decided to go to the water park. This is where they held the volleyball tournament during the Olympics. This is a huge park. we went to the pool area but man the water was so cold, all I could do is take one lap and I was done. So I talked her into going with me to the bumper boats. The three of us had a blast. Raming each other, racing, all of the kids stuff. Then we went and played volleyball. It has been along time since I played that. Plus the sand was about 4" deep and very loose so running was a real bear. we only could stand about a half hour before we were all wiped out. Then we buried Qingqing in the sand and just played. My wife said her father had never done anything like that even she was little. On the way back to the gate in the shuttle, she asked me to sit next to her. we fooled around taking pictures and joking,etc. I could feel her warming up in a big way. the good thing was there was no real money involved, just play. When we got home this evening she said she was going to wait until late tomorrow to go back to school so she and I could go to the market and grocery shop as Mama has to work. So all in all, I am feeling really good about the way things are going. Of course my guard is up anyway but Mama said she could see her really warming up to me. If so this will make my life here almost perfect. If it werent for my Son, daughter and granddaughter back in the states, I would just as soon stay here. But, i have a lot of things to do when I get back. I have decided to get rid of everything. All of my toys, the boat, sea doos, the camper and horse trailer, the trailer and all of that sort of thing. I will get what we need when they get there. But for now i want to be free and clear of everything. (Not my car or my bike). This way I can travel light between Savannah and Beijing. I will definitely be in Savannah for this baby being born.
Speaking of babies. The subject keeps coming up here. I have been very delicate in my choice of words. She is tempting you know? A small part of me would like to have another child, especially with her because it would make her so happy. At 58 years old, I just cant see it. I will get the reversal of the vasectomy, but I am sure nothing will come of it. Especially since I am friends with the Dr. I hate to be this way about it, but it would hurt her too deeply if I just said no. If she thinks that it is just meant not to be, I think we both will be happier about it.
