The kids are on Spring Break this week so the King and I took yesterday off with them. We got up and went to Chinatown for supplies and then took off to the Chinese Cemetery for Ching Ming. It is a Chinese tradition of visiting the ancestors. We took rice wine, fruit, dim sum and incense and candles. You burn the candles, light the incense and then burn paper money and such so that they have money and gold in the after life. You pour the wine on the ground for them and leave food. Then you eat the rest of the food for yourself while you are there. Most people went on the weekend but we went on Monday, there was no one there which was very nice.It's always been very busy. Sunday night was the Tam Family Association dinner which is the King's mother's clan. The King's uncle is one of the leaders of the group. There was the typical 10 course dinner and the ever popular Karaoke singing. NOT!! The rest of the weekend was either spent at Home Debit as I continue to work on the back yard or shopping for new clothes to take to China.
