So yesterday , our Sister In-law's two week stay came to an end .
It wasn't an ending one would have looked forward to , hence finding out while checking in her Luggage .. her Plane will leave LAX three (3) hours late . Nice , when they tell you to be at the Airport three hours early .
Anyway , she has enjoyed her stay/visit with us tremendously . Starting out on her arrival day ( morning hours ) , first thing we took care off .. was go and see two Houses that we were waiting for her to see and choose one of them . I of course had made up my mind already on one , but it is her buying .. so need her final approval . This was done in a few hours and we placed an " Offer " seven K's over the asking price . Why ? Because our first offer on an House before wasn't strong enough and we lost a nice House then . So this was going to be different , if someone wanted it .. they had to beat us with more . Now this/our offer is with the Bank , waiting for their approval .. which looks good of course .. but takes time . It is a Short Sale and time is in the Banks hand .
This out of the way , we now could concentrate on other more joyful things to pass our time .
In the two weeks , besides heavy Shopping .. we did do many wonderful relaxing Dinners .. after getting to places she wanted to Visit . From Hollywood to Venice Beach to Santa Monica .. Pasadena to San Diego . Most of it was done on weekends , as I had to work during the week . Having only two full weekend , kind of limited us for any further Trip which might have included an over-night stay away from Home .
Back at Home , what surprised me the most .. was .. not ones did we eat Chinese Food . It was Western Dishes everytime we ate at Home . We did manage to take her to an Asain Buffet though , one of our favorites .
Overall , it was great .. especially .. since she speaks English and Shanghainese . So never short for any words here .
Now , waking up this morning and not seeing her at the Breakfast table .. seems kind of strange . Funny , how it effects us .. like almost .. did it really happen or did I just wake up from a Dream ?
Ahhh .. at least it wasn't Qing leaving ! Having anybody else saying goodbye til next time is easy to overcome . With Qing and myself , we did our suffering .. not looking to ever repeat that period of our Life's apart by a large Ocean .
Here are a few Photo's from our time together .
