It Worked!

The email test-post worked! It was almost too easy! Yeah!
Several people have been blocked from getting to blogger.com during their trips to China. Using the "email post option" is one way around that.
The picture is probably from 1965. That's my dad, Grandma Hazel (dad's mom), my brother David, and me, and my mom, Arline. Mom has been gone over 20 years now, so its nice to have her picture here.
Wow. That was a long time ago in a galaxy far-far away...
The picture is courtesy of a gadget Mark got me at Christmas that can scan/view a 35mm slide and turn it into a digital picture. Software lets you edit and fix-up damaged pictures. I want to go through all dad's old slides and get them burned onto a CD before the slides go bad. That's another project for after Ke Xin gets settled in...
And 2 more local families, also with CCAI, got their TA call also! Looks like we'll all be traveling together! We have to wait and see what Consulate Appointment we get and then we can buy our airline tickets. I don't want to think about how much they will cost. Oh well - no way around that! It's exciting to have an actual date - 17 days from now we'll (hopefully) be in the air!
