曾经爱过

Waltz In The Sky

Friday I sent reminder to my friends to go

the Berkekey Kite Festival this weekend.

I do see some familiar faces, all happy.

"

海风中
山坡下
也许能见到几张熟识的面孔

每次出行都有不期而遇
每次都很开心。"

Love the ballet

In the water synchronized?

Love the romance

On the ice as butterfly?

You should come to see

The colorful kites
They do waltz,

In the summer blue sky.

The moment the party started:

The moment the kids love the most :

The Peaceful Blue Angels :

Want to be one of them?

Which one?

See You Next Year!!

热闹过去 铅华洗尽
最令我难忘的是两只蓝白相间的风筝
蓝天上清风中共舞的一曲，
我还在努力找出那首歌，
我听得看得忘了拍照，
两只风筝在空中的相会相恋相伴，
浪漫得, 难以置信，难以忘怀

Look, A New Day Has Begun

青青松松's summer camp in Argonaut Elementary is over,
Each day during the 15 minutes after picking up the girl and waiting for my son,
I carried my camera and wandering around,
Watching little kids playing tag in the green grass play ground
From the neighbor trees, picking up some sweet plums (shhh….you also tasted)


I love that school way more than those kids
So let’s just rewrite some words in Carpenters’ song:


“All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It’s CHILDHOOD once more”

The blooming garden is just around the corner,

If you drive through, don’t forget to wave hello to her,
Simply purple, red, white and yellow
The life in the valley should not lose any color.

These days do you ever notice the bright full moon in the night?
We stop our car to sing her Hi
“Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone”


Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Look, a new day has begun…

Scarborough Fair

Yet another summer Saturday morning,
The Men’s Team left early to the

Chess tournament,
We, the GIRLs, went to Scarborough Fair

in the neighbor city,

To find our loved one: The Pink Lady

Round and round, we circled under the Sun.

Beatles BLACKBIRD by Fred McCarthy

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly”

What a life, this morning, feels like I went through years years back. He played another song for us, we talked about his band and his plan, to travel to China for a Country music concert, I once was a big big fan, not him, but the country music, in the campus, with one friend, we listened all the big hits and imagined we could visit Nashville someday. (Yes, I still want to go)

I bought one of his CDs,

he gladly signed on the cover sheet.

几日炎夏过去，这个七月中的周末满凉爽的。 清爽的舒适，平静的生活，有时还真怀念没安定下来之前的躁躁的那些日子， 湿漉漉的夏季，冰冻啤酒中的盐水棒冰，街边的法国梧桐，年轻的朋友，憧憬的心。现在算安定了吗？ 暂时的长一些吧，生活的感悟就在一点一滴中慢慢品了。世界是宽了许多，上山下海的说去就能去，平日躲在谷中一面折腰一面望南山，星星也亮，月月也明的， 实在应当感恩，像小孩子一样天真的生活吧，

Forever and ever, Amen. (30th Grammy Award)

You know what the title picture is? It’s sage flower.

You know who is that pink lady?
Look at her:

It’s a kind of peach, pink, sweet, we call her Pink Lady.
The summer two years ago, little Flora broke her arm, I worked from home to accompany her all the days. During a Friday lunch time, I brought her to cupertino farmer’s market, besides the flowers and blueberries, we tasted the Pink Lady, we bought a lot back, we love her all the time and we miss her every summer day. We haven’t seen her this summer, that’s why we went to Scarborough Fair and we sing this song:

“Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there,
She once was a true love of mine”

Ever wondering why we have 2 girls and 2 boys this weekend?
Their mom went back China on business for a week, the temp single daddy needs to feed 8 chickens in the backyard, 1 hamster and 1 guinea pig in the front yard, plus 1 girl and 1 boy. Kind of hard job for him. So we decided to have the 2 boys and 2 girls to enjoy a summer festival together, that’s why they stuck two by two for the entire two days. And I kind of realized my 4 kids dream temporarily. Next time when I recommend others to try, I have some firsthand experience to share. Today’s lunch, Goose Daddy and Chicken Mom showed the same Kungfu as Panda, the famous Duck Soup Noodle:

Dinner we moved to their house, the handy daddy showed his secret strength, not only feed all the 4 young ones, also feed us two, plus some extra for grandparents. All ready with soup within one hour when we took the four to the swimming class.
Ah, life is beautiful with friends. See what we enjoyed together:

We went to camping during 7/4--7/7 long weekend.
First time, nice experience.
Kids do not want to come back home,
So it does not sound like a happy ending.
Even our car had the same feeling,
He insisted to turn himself down in Santa Cluz,
We made a call to AAA,
Then decided to give him sometime to cool down.
Finally everybody safely back. God Bless.
