I become more and more aware that my charts here are far from self-explanatory. I'd better save my paper copies, huh!
We had a lot of fun—as usual—with the ten commandments. Highlights were probably a couple of the games: For "Musical Hats," whoever got one hat was the child, & the other was the parent; the child then poured tea for the parent. We played several rounds & the final round had my pastor husband as the child, and an Indonesian hired maid as the parent. This was SO culturally bizarre, for a white professional to serve the maid—she was laughing so hard she could hardly keep from spilling her tea! For "Mother May I," at each turn a child would draw a card with some statement such as "Ka Hei is wearing a red shirt today" or "Wing Tung is 13 years old"—some were inherently true or false, some might be true or false on any given day, so had to be checked before the child could or could not "take a giant step."
Guess that's all for this time. I need to hurry up and get this blog up to date so I can start fresh & be current when we return to Macau a month from today…
