Our weekend

We actually remembered to take some pictures this weekend and wanted to share with you some of what we usually do on the weekends.

Supper Club

Saturday we had our monthly supper club (at lunch time) with two couples from our school. Our friend's Heather and Blair's baby Carter (11 months) and our baby may share the same birthday. Our other friends Mel and Rus are expecting their first baby the beginning of August.

Heather was amazed that Mel got Carter (a busy little boy) to sit and read a book :-)

Wishing Tree Festival

Then today we went down to the Wishing Tree to see what all the Chinese New Year festivities were all about. There was an amazing crowd and the whole area is a little like the fair with incense and wishes.

This famous temple is from the 1700s

We were able to watch people throw their wishes up in the tree. We are not sure what happens to your wish when the plastic orange doesn't stay on the branch.

Laundry
Also drum roll please......the dryer was delivered! We dried our first load of sheets and it is amazing how quickly they dried :-) It is up in our stairwell by the door of the roof. We use the area for storage too and don't worry there isn't really a live animal on top of the dryer.
