The moon on this day is the fullest and largest to the eye. Viewing it by the whole family while feasting on good wine, fruits and moon-cakes features the night event. There is also a beautiful story behind it. Children are told that there's fairy on the moon living in a spacious but cold crystal palace with her sole companion, a jade rabbit. A heavenly general and friend would occasionally pay her a visit, bringing along his fragrant wine. She would then dance a beautiful dance. The shadows on the moon made the story all the more credible and fascinating to the young imaginative minds. <BR/><BR/>It is wonderful to see your smiling face in China. All your friends at Augsburg are enjoying your pics and wishing you well. <BR/><BR/>Please let me know if you need anything on this end.

Thanks for accurate birth date. Happy Birthday! Enjoyed photos and text of your first week or so at UIC. You office and flat look quite workable and livable. My questions are same as others....food service, nearby markets, hiking/running/biking routes, and chances for Doug to lead seminars, touring, and experiencing the language and culture of your area in China. Kathy seems to have successfully plugged me into the blog with opportunities to respond. All else going well. Good luck!

Love all the pictures. Teresa and Grace loved talking with you on Skype this morning (your evening), but I was trying to have a conference call on the regular phone line and it felt like they were yelling into the computer! Very funny! Lots of love, j.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836123604072457086noreply@blogger.com
