36th birthday month

My father in law stayed with us for 9 days.
I bought a pair of Scona brown leather knee-high riding boots for $2536 on the 4th as a gift for myself.
What a coincidence! On my birthday, the same date as last year, the school choir took part in the competition. My husband and I went see Spectre 007 and had lunch at Grazie with my father in law after the annual music competition. The next day I had dinner with my kids at 品田牧場 after Regis' Yamaha class. They enjoyed grinding sesame seeds.
We went camping at 海角一號, White Sand Bay in the middle of the month. It’s our 3rd camping trip and 1st time to camp by a beach. We've done mountain camping with my colleagues twice, and both times were awesome.  Last month we got a Polar Star tent ($8200), much bigger and more expensive than the first two. My husband set up the tent in the living room on my birthday. Our kids were so excited!



I've worried about Felix's lying behavior recently and talked to him. I feel disappointed, angry and frustrated. I wept in the restaurant before his Yamaha class last Friday. I reflect and read online articles. I’m trying my best not to be too severe and harsh, so he's willing to tell the truth. I hope things get better.
Each year, more and more people are attracted to the joys of harvesting. We joined 總太 Construction Company for the rice harvest in 柳營 and visited Hinoki Village, 嘉義 with my mom and brother last Sunday.
We went see a musical play "Freya, a Viking Story" by ArtSpot from Argentina at Taiwan Science Education Center today.

go on a getaway to our hometowns

Being with family is wonderful. We spent last weekend with my family in Taichung and Nantou and this weekend with both of our families in Taichung and 雲林. My mom’s been in my sister’s in Kaohsiung since this Thu, so my dad’s alone at home. We had dinner with him yesterday and then continued going down to 雲林 to celebrate my in-laws’ birthdays with a Sugar Spice cake. We had dinner again with my dad at 赤鬼 Steak House on the way home today.

happy National Day weekend 2015

We spent this long weekend with my parents and brother in Taichung and Nantou. We arrived at my parents' Friday afternoon. My brother arrived at night. We went on outings to Nantou, my dad's hometown, together the next two days. After we visited 2 pineapple cake factories, my dad's student invited us to his sugar cane juice factory. We're excited to see the filling and capping machines and enjoyed the fresh juice.
My dad's student treated us to dinner at his kid-friendly restaurant 嘚嘚茶語共和.
