Up until the last few weeks, I worked with a very intelligent Chinese lady named Ya. She has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and did much to make the machine on which we are all working succeed. She is married to a man who works in New York, so when she got a job offer up there, she took the job. We were very sorry to see her go because, beside being very smart, she was very nice and a fun person with whom to work. The person who took her place is one of Ya’s friends from college. She is another Chinese lady with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Her name is Yuting and she is also very smart, nice, and fun. She has a beautiful little daughter and a husband who recently traveled to China on business. When he returned, he brought back a commemorative paper lantern made for the 2008 Olympic games which will be in Beijing later this summer. Christian, Lorena, and I had a great time putting it together last night. Christian is going to hang it in his room. Thank you, Yuting!

I can see some Chinese ‘art’:-)in the center!
That is cool! Does it have all 5 of the Olympic mascots on it, or do you need to go
to China to collect the whole set?? (I see NiNi on the front)

Ann, Yuting brought back about ten of them, all with different mascots. It is WAY cool that you noticed that. Each one of us got one of the different mascots in a different color. I really liked ours. I did not know they all had names. The kids were pretty pumped about that, too.
Nice! but who is the ‘serious as a heart attack’ lantern man? 😉
He is just some Mexican guy from Raleigh.
