So very thankful to God that my kids walk with God and sincerely seek him. I wish I can take credit for that, but it is in spite of me that my kids are good kids. I am but a sinner. It is all His grace.<\/p>\n<p>Started the day meeting Elliot and Nancy at the farmer&#8217;s market at Mariner&#8217;s Church. I am so impressed with how the church opens their grounds for the community. Families come out and kids are playing on the church&#8217;s children&#8217;s playground. I don&#8217;t know of any Chinese church that generously invites the community to use the church property this way. Mariner&#8217;s church even have a couple of little trains offering free rides for the kids. I love it!<\/p>\n<p>A quick glance through their community thrift store yield no treasures. Also didn&#8217;t have much time. Was anxious to get on to the picnic.<\/p>\n<p>Elliot and Nancy planned an early lunch picnic for my birthday &#8211; complete with cutting board, knife, chopsticks, wasabi, artisanal soy sauce, ginger &#8211; and buying fresh sashimi at the farmer&#8217;s market. First ever sashimi picnic &#8211; with salmon, tuna, and HUGE scallops.<\/p>\n<p>At the farmer&#8217;s market I also bought grass fed beef bones &#8211; $7\/lb. I know it&#8217;s a splurge for bone broth. I know you can get steak at that price.<\/p>\n<p>Came back for Eugenia&#8217;s baby shower. Notable are games of all worksheets &#8211; unscramble baby words, completing nursery rhymes, naming kids in TV shows, matching animal baby terms with its parent (puggles is the baby of a platypus). It was great seeing old friends.<\/p>\n<p>Then dinner with Audrey and Danny at home with roast duck, roast pig, roast pork, and sashimi and seared HUGE fresh scallops\u00a0that I bought at the farmer&#8217;s market. Great conversation and ended with King&#8217;s Hawaiian cake &#8211; flavors Lime, Passion Fruit, Guava.<\/p>\n<p>Day ended with doing a face mask.<\/p>\n<p>I shall enjoy rereading the birthday cards I received from my kids. I always tell them I want them to write at least one paragraph in the cards they give me. No other gifts necessary. They still gave me gifts though, exactly stuff that I needed.<\/p>\n<p>A full and happy day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thankful for time spent with my kids!
