This garden is so pretty and serene. Is it near to you? I'd be there visiting often if it were close. Thinking of you today and hoping it's a peaceful day. AND, your kitties are sure darling! Hugs, Jan
Thank you for taking us to the tea garden. It looks like a lovely place for a wander. I have just been reading your description of yourself, and I am also called "the dragon lady" as I have been involved in dragon boat racing for over 20 years. I also like the idea of never growing up. So I wish you many more years of trying something new.
Oooo, somebody please wake up the little monk with mice crawling on him! That gives me the eebie jeebies! The rest are all very peaceful,thank goodness.
My dear Snappie friend--I've been so neglectful and now find that you are dealing with many things. I send my prayers and all good wishes. . .and a hug. Mary Ann
This is a really beautiful garden, so serene. The sculptures are wonderful!

The Chung Mei Temple is one of our favorite places.
It has a lovely tea room and a garden that is sure to bring a smile to the face.

A big THANK YOU to Mary for being our hostess for Mosaic Monday.

We had a long and busy week last week.Lots of family and colleagues of Mr. Dragon were here to share memories and say their goodbyes.Sad, but lots of happiness too. Today and this week we rest ... just the two of us with the furbabies.DD (dear daughter) and Mr. Dragon's sister will be with us the following week.
Thank you for your loving support and kindness.
Wishing all of you well and a JOY filled week.
