Look what came in the SPECIAL DELIVERY mail today!!!  My dear friend (and Little Sister) in Beijing had mailed a package to me for my birthday and it was returned once all the way back to China because it had a "selfie stick" in it!!!  So she took out the selfie stick, mailed it again and today it arrived!!!  The most precious gift ever is a photo album she made for me filled with photos from all our years knowing each other (since 1992 when she was a visiting teacher for the school year to Indianapolis, Indiana, where I was the AFS Intercultural Programs area representative.)  Didi and I became friends immediately, she was just one of those people you couldn't help but love.  She and I still see each other, with her traveling here to the states and me going to Beijing (and other parts of China) to visit her and my Chinese family.  This photo is Didi on the left, her sister (my Baby Sister) and me at Disney World one year.  Baby Sister lives and works in Calgary, Alberta and she flew down to Florida to meet us and go to Disney World.  Of course, we had matching vests (it was December) and shirts to wear so if anyone got lost, it would be easy to find the lost one!!!  HAHAHAHA!!!  It's a long tradition to have some matching article of clothing, so we could be twins (or triplets)....

The cute little pig was also in the birthday package, because I was born in the Chinese Year of the Pig!!!

I love this dear woman and her family!!!!
