A long weekend

This year, because of the long weekend, it didn't feel as stress as other Lunar New Year. We were taking our time to visit our relatives and friends. Didn't have to feel like we were running from one household to the next, hoping to catch up with as many relatives and friends over a weekend.

Thus each visit, we were also able to stay longer and catch up on good old days. Especially with my relatives, talking to aunties and uncles is like we were kids again having story telling time. I truly enjoyed such sessions.

I hope my cousin, S will be able to publish a book that she is working on. With that, I believe our next generation will be able to understand what or how life was with their great grandparents. Good Luck S.

We had a late night, my kids were still sleeping when I was awake. Since I have way too many chocolate chip in the fridge. Decided to make some Chocolate Chip Cookies pancakes for breakfast.


This is very yummy and my family likes it alot.
