又是個 . . . 的半日 (Another Camel Meeting)

#2012-0521

阿才搬新家了。他和另一半 Shuhui 邀請這些住在中部的駱駝弟兄，攜眷前往做客。其實，我和老詹、阿樂等人，早已搶先到訪過一回。那新家坐落於沙鹿某處，無論就建築風格或設備品味而言，都教人讚嘆不已、十分稱羨。阿才跟 Shuhui 回應說，那是天父的恩典 --- Amazing grace from the Lord! 一切榮耀、感謝，都歸于主基督。顯然，他們是謙和而蒙受 神 祝福的一家。而這日，他們夫婦盛情邀約，並親自下廚做菜款待，我和月琴當然是抱定「不落人後」之原則，準時赴約的。

果然，又是個天南地北 隨意暢談，笑聲不斷、歡樂無窮的大半日 (roughly from 9:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.)。每次駱駝家族重聚一堂，總是如此愉快，如此自然，那種感覺真的很好 . . . . 好棒 . . . 棒得難以形容！

兩隻蜻蜓 (Two Dragonflies)

#2012-0505

This morning I got up a little late, but I was very pleased to see two dragonflies standing peacefully and gracefully on the parapet (= low wall) of the balcony in front of my bedroom.

今晨起床稍晚，卻見兩隻蜻蜓，靜而優雅，停在臥室前陽台短牆之上，內心甚為歡愉。

"Aha!" I told myself, "They are in my private place, and they are doing something private in broad daylight. So I should be entitled to be a private investigator." Then, quickly and quietly, I took the following pictures which I would like to share with you, my private readers!

自忖：彼等既入我私家領域，又在光天化日中行此私事，我理應有權「偵之探之」。於是乎，興匆匆且靜悄悄，我攝得下列幾幅圖像，願與讀者諸君分享！

My first book of short stories (written in English) has been published with JustFiction! Edition, a young publisher in Germany. Far below is the information of the book:

我的第一本英文短篇小說集，已於上個月底，由德國的一家出版社 JustFiction! Edition 出版。因為是「免費」為我出版，我承諾給他們五年的印行及銷售權利（包括紙本及電子書兩種），他們只會贈送我一本紙本書作為紀念，如果我（作者）要加購，也只能打九折。唉呀！120 多頁的書，定價 19.9 歐元，加上運費及 VAT，恐怕貴得連我都「捨不得」買來送親友啦！

Little Bee is making progress in all aspects of his daily life. Look! He speaks much better than before, he has started to eat by himself, and to my surprise, he can even brush his teeth after eating! Ah, whatever he does, he is always so cute and smart when doing it. I am really proud of him, Little Bee, my grandson.
