A good shoe.

Love this boot. Don't you?

I can't find shoes off the rack to fit me in HK. I wear a 10 US, used to be a 9, but after my baby, it became a 10. Shoes simply don't go that high here. Luckily, having shoes made is an affordable luxury in HK. They can copy any shoe you want or you can design your own. I recently had a pair of black high heals made, can't wait to see them, in 3 weeks, and share it with you.

We went shopping...again..and again and again...in China

found this fabric and turned it into something fabulous...all for under $30 US

this is the building where everything is...

totally understated....this is China...

The finished product. My "Lilly Dress" perfect for our beach trip to Phuket in a few weeks!

A good friend.

I was out of my favorite beauty product and could not find it in HK. 

 My friend Bonnie went to NYC for a week and when she returned, she was carrying this...!

 Not one, but TWO pots of  Rosebud Salve.  Such a good friend!

These little pots last forever. I had the one in the first picture for a year.  I use it on my lips, my fingernails, my cheeks, blisters, as perfume...you name it, I use it. I love it and I am so thankful that Bonnie remembered me. 

We are in Beijing.

If it is Monday, we are at Disney.

A cast member helps Hoyer add to his sticker collection after seeing the Lion King live. 

 

It is Halloween at Disney!

 Hoyer is tall enough to ride in the car ride!

 They made him wear shoes, since we forgot our crocks he had to wear hotel slippers!

Nose. Bi Zi. We learned all about the Bi ZI in school today, Hoyer showed everyone the cat's nose.

We're Just Like You, Only Prettier. And that's just fine with me.

What is on my ipod....

Artist: Lambert Miranda
Song: Only Prettier
Album: Revolution

Well I’ve been saved by the grace of Southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
And if you wanna pick a fight
Well I’m gonna have to say goodnight
I don’t have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart

And even though I don’t belong with your high life friends
It doesn’t mean we don’t get together and try to make amends
It’s easier can’t you see
Let’s agree to just disagree
We don’t have to like each other but it’s sure fun to pretend

So let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Everybody says you’ve gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way
It’s a universal plan that’ll get you where you can in all societies

So let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Well, I’ll keep drinkin’
And you’ll keep gettin’ skinnier
I’m just like you
Only prettier

Artist: Little Big Town
Song: Fine with Me
Album: The Road to Here

Everybody's gonna go downtown same hang with the same old crowd
Talking like it's just the greatest thing you've ever seen
Telling me that if I don't go I'll be the one missin' out
Yeah but I don't really think I'm gonna miss a thing
As for myslef I'm just as well
With something else in mind (like)

Chorus:
Blue skies and amber sunshine
As far as I can see
It's just me and my sweet baby
And that's just fine with me

Lay me down in the tall green grass be still and let the world go by
Baby let our minds wander like the river does
Or find a place we can hide away where all we do is take our time
Making life and loving sweeter than it ever was
Take the whirlwind that life has been
And trade it for the freedom of

Chorus

Everything's coming up roses
Everything's feeling fight
We got the naysayers supposing
It may not last yeah but it just might

A Boat.

Living on the water, Hoyer has come to love boats.  Poor thing, he just can't ride them...his motion sickness is still horrible. We have to give him Zofran before he rides a bus, taxi or ferry in the city. Here he is at the Star Ferry terminal, so excited about the boats! Hoyer says, "A boat! A boat!"

Jocelyn

We love our helper Jocelyn and Hoyer loves her too. Kyle and I have had a wonderful weekend and none of it would be possible without Jocelyn.

Fun in Kowloon

Just being tourists....we had a date day in Kowloon, saw a movie, had our silhouettes done and ate American food. As we were heading back on the ferry we had amazing views on Hong Kong.

Hoyer Gets His Visa

We are all getting ready for our trip to China....

Portriat is Finished!!

So here it is, all finished. Hoyer made friends with everyone around the artist square, he was well known by the time this was over. One day he brought his harmonica and I swear, people would have given money if we put a hat out.  
Hoyer's portrait was painted by Elon, who is a teacher and paints in the streets of Kowloon on the side. I was lucky to find him and he took extra special care as he was using Hoyer's portrait  for a competition he entered. I have already had 7 requests from family and friends to see if Elon can paint them...maybe I should go into business. Ha!
