It was nice to be home

Dear All,

I came home Monday. I had very relaxing time in Beijing. I enjoyed spending the month with family and friends. Now I am happy to be back. There are a lot to catch up in order to back to my daily routine. I did not get chance to write down my thought of the trip yet. Luckily, a four day weekend is coming up and I will use that time to make up.

Happy Monday and enjoy your week.

In friendship of flowers,
Yirou.

Vacation Notice

Dear all,

I will take one month vacation in China. There is no blogspot.com access in China right now (being blocked). During my vacation, I will minimize computer use, therefore, I may not send Happy Monday emails to forward Nadia's blog post. Please go to Nadia's blog directly each Monday to read the new posts:

Enjoy Nadia's blog and Happy Mondays! I will see you on Nov. 23rd after I back from my vacation.

Everytime I learn something. Bittersweet vine is one of my favorite materials, although I only had few chances to use it and had no idea that it can destroy the trees.

Here it is:
