Flowers are blooming and today, I saw clippings from the lawn mower. Believe it or not, the students only have two more weeks of me 😞

I am a little sad, but getting prepared to go back home!!!! I want to sleep in my own bed, eat junk food, and have a sweet dessert. Maybe if my sister reads this, she will prepare a cherry cheese cake or a banana pudding pie for my arrival back to the U.S.

😊

A small piece of China will serve as my reminder when I am back in the states.

No Kroger, Walmart, Jewel/Osco for me, curb side service works well.

This is some type of "fur" from the trees. The students indicates that it happens each year as an indication that "Spring" is coming soon.

This is what it looks like outside of my office window - HUMMMM, it looks a lot like snow to me, so I call it Snow in China.

Oh I could not imagine being around all of the "China Snow." Do not get used to China living and not return :-( If you get a chance call me or Dr. Greenan. He needs to speak with you! Miss you and can't wait to hear the tales of China.
13th April 2016

I will try to give you a call on Friday . . . . I will also send Dr. Greenan a e-mail, if you share with him that he can send me a e-mail on my purdue account GRAVES16@purdue.edu I can receive and respond to messages. THANKS
