We had plenty of excellent Chinese cuisine to enjoy
We're pretty good Chinese cooks and/or purchasers. We're very good at eating it.
Chinese dumplings and won-tons. Diane made one of these from scratch and they were very good.
Ya'll eat now
I'll delete this if you prefer :-)
It was a beautiful day. The breeze kept us cool.
