February 14: Happy Year of The Tiger

I thought the illustration below was lovely. Happy (belated) Chinese New Year.
But, I jumped ahead by a few weeks. First our friend Sara, a.k.a. Willow's Ayi, came to visit in January. Sara was our guide in China, and quickly became extended family. While working in the U.S. (Seattle) for two months, she decided to come visit during subzero temperatures. Willow was enamored with Sara right away (did Willow remember???) Chris loaded her down with presents (books), and we even went to the Mall of America to ride the carousel--good excuse. Willow was afraid, which necessitated we move off the horse and sit on a bench; there was a young man of about 15 years of age sitting on the only bench, and he was clearly mortified when we joined him. Actually he was emanating teenage angst--I still wonder why he was there to begin with.
