Commander is back!

Everywhere we travel B's companion, Commander Ottery, comes with us.  Our last home leave in May was no exception.  He went to LA then on to ATL with us.  But....Commander decided to hide when we departed ATL and stay behind with Mom and Dad for a few months.

Though he had a grand time, we needed him back in Shanghai.  Dad flew Commander to LA where my co-worker, Lisa, gathered him and safely brought him back to Shanghai - notice she left him in the baggie Mom packed him in.....he got to fly business class before us!!!

We picked him up this morning and my guys are two peas in a pod!  ;)

 

Shanghai Style

This guy is on my morning commute....I like to observe his outfits....

Typhoon Cham-hom

Typhoon Cham-hom on collision course with Shanghai!

Work was even cancelled for a day due to the impending storm.  While winds did kick up quite a bit, there was nothing spectacular - bummer :(  We wanted to experience some typhoon action!

Instead as precaution, we stayed home and had a Jurassic Park movie marathon leading to the new Jurassic World!  It turned into a lovely 3 day relaxing weekend :)

The storm pushed through leaving us with beautiful, clear skies!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th!

We celebrated with morning Mimosas/Bloody Mary's and a BBQ lunch at Bubba's!

These two were the weirdest couple of the day!

The white guy read a book while his Chinese girlfriend? napped on the table.

Strange!
