Saturday Morning

Good morning!

It is Saturday morning. We are all up, well, at least I think we are all up. Nick spent the night with a classmate. Since he has to be at school in a little while to work the soccer concession stand, then I'll assume he's up and moving.

Ben has left the apartment and gone to the Shui Nan market. This is a large morning outdoor market-- a great place to buy your fruits and vegetables, and anything else you may need. Carl and I were there last Saturday morning and were only able to see a fraction of the stalls. We were taking a break from furniture shopping... on our bikes. Yes, not the easiest way to shop for furniture but you do what you have to do. And, yes, we did make a purchase! I am very proud of Carl's ability to communicate despite the lack of a common language.

Abbi has just finished cleaning the kitchen. She decided homemade waffles were the only thing that would satisfy her this morning. She also has to be at school in a short time to sell concessions.

Jake is on the couch reading something....

Typically at this time on a Saturday morning, Carl and I would be out on the tandem exploring one of the many bike trails. We chose to forego this tradition this morning. A typhoon passed by Taiwan during the last 24 hours and it has been just crazy windy. The other reason is I have been fighting a cold/sinus infection and my head.

I think Carl and I are going to brave the wind and head over to the market. I bet you would like me to take the camera and get a few pictures.........
