A Couple Pictures

The pictures we took Sunday of Bug turned out very well.  I wrote to Mother so we sent along a couple pictures.  Had alarms tonite - we even took Bug down to the dung for his first bit of powing.  Annette, October 1941

 

This project had a big weekend!  First, my brilliant fiancé, who spent several years working in China, helped decipher several of Annette's interpretations of Chinese words and phrases.  She mentions the 'dung' by their house several times, which is her interpretation of the Chinese word for cave or hole - 洞.  She always talks about 'powing' back and forth, which means run - 跑.  It was so much fun to sort through some of her words!

Also this weekend, I visited my sister and her family.  She had a few boxes of photos from my Dad that we were going to look through.  While digging through yearbooks and newspaper clippings, we discovered photos from my Grandmother's time in China!  

In this entry, Annette was excited to send home pictures of Bug.  Guess what I found?!

I can't wait to sort through all these photos - more to come!  Enjoy!
