Little Bee with Us

This page will show you "Little Bee with Us," instead. -- Look at it. You know what we were doing in the playground? . . . Our first grandson was posing for photos. He was very pleased while my wife was using her smart phone and, especially, when I held up one of his favorite toys just as a camera -- to take pictures of him!

(Note: At a time I pretended to be an excellent photographer, but with a toy shoe in my hands!)

And our little boy wanted to be a photographer, too. He took over his grandma's cellphone, asked us to pose for photos, and . . . Well, he actually took a few pictures of us -- his happy grandparents!

Little Shine and Me

#2016-0912

His birthday being two weeks from now, Little Shine is less than two years old. But he likes to play with his grandpa, an old man in his 60's.

(Ha! There's no need for a man to mask his age. My real age is 63, ALREADY!)

Now, I'd like to be very honest to tell you this: I like to play with him too. I like playing with this small boy sooooooo very much!

When I saw him wearing a Big, Big pair of slippers, I burst into laughter. The slippers are not his, but he had secretly put them on; and in a proud manner, he has been walking fast from the living room to the kitchen and then from there back to where I was. He looked so excited, stepping here and there as quickly as he could. "Flip, flop!" his quick walk, almost trotting, has made such clear sounds: "Flip, flop! Flip, flop! Flip, flop! ..."

I laughed at him. And I started to ACTIVELY play with him; l stepped before him, quickly and skillfully, as though I were performing a tap-dance. Seeing what I did, this little boy became even more excited and ... more active! Big laughs.

西瓜、柳橙、奇異果

兩個小男孩　小調皮　小可愛　我的小孫子　兩隻活潑.....有點不受控制的　小動物啊！

那天 (2016-0818) 全家大小到附近的「糧」用餐，他倆 (Little Bee and Little Shine) 看見櫃台前的長板凳上，擺放了三只水果坐墊，興奮之情，頓時全寫在臉蛋上，馬上衝過去，就豪不客氣「試坐」了。一番又一番，坐過來坐過去，笑聲不斷。坐了許久之後，甚至........請看最後一張照片（應是奶奶偷拍的），好笑極了。

約莫兩個禮拜後，我們家裡也多了三個坐墊，一模一樣的「西瓜、柳橙、奇異果」（是小男孩的媽媽上網訂購的）。我和小孫子常常拿這些坐墊當玩具。一下子它被握在手中，變成汽車的方向盤，我載著他們回外婆家；一下子它被戴在頭頂，就成了漂亮的水果帽子，不過移步要特別保持平衡，帽子才不會掉下來！

我們一早來到新社區的「桃李河畔」，是琴的師專同學會，我特別同行，開車護送。

原以為好友老詹也會跟他的老婆秀珍（琴的同窗好友）一道來參加的，他倆卻臨時有事，不克前來。

「你們班，」我忍不住問起：「這次同學會，有幾個會帶老公一起來？」

琴回答：「不知道耶！」

「那......媛如的老公（有福）呢？他來不來？」

「聽說他得上班去，這回，他不能陪媛如！」

「是麼！.......」你大概可以想像得到，我是多麼希望在今年的「琴之同學會」中，也跟去年一樣，遇上幾個真有見地，又相當幽默的「男子漢／大丈夫」，讓整個交流的過程（包含言談內容及表達模式）都如同行雲流水般，自由自在，毫無拘束！.........哈哈哈！

"Come with me to my tongxuehui?"

Tongxuehui means "a reunion of classmates." A couple of days ago Jean told me her former classmates would meet at Tao-Li Hepan this year for a reunion. She was hoping that I could join her there.

"Yes, I'd like to escort you there," I said, putting emphasis on the verb which I actually used "husong" (護送) in Mandarin.

In fact, to escort (or accompany) her was just one of the reasons for my saying "yes" -- The winding road leading to Tao-Li Hepan in the mountains might cause some problems to car drivers who are not accustomed to driving on such a narrow road with so many curves in it. I was available, and willing, to be her "private driver" this morning!

My other reasons for coming included: (1) I'd never been at Tao-Li Hepan (桃李河畔, literally as "Plums River Bank"), the name of the place being so attractive that I felt like having a visit to it. (2) Last year when I went with Jean to her class-reunion for the first time, I did have a good time meeting some old and new friends; good memories made me want to participate again in that kind of thing.
