每次帶米花兄妹和碧燕阿姨去圖書館借書時,自己都會順便借一些書,這是一個可以省錢資源共享的方式。
這一次,馬麻借了賴東進的"乞丐囝仔"。這是真人實事的故事,賴東進的父親是瞎子,母親與大弟是重度智障,從小靠四處行乞養活一家十四口人。當了16年的乞丐,睡了十年的墳墓,情節好像比連續劇還要誇張。它,就是台灣早期年代困苦的縮寫,但,更悲慘一點的是,他的父母是弱勢中的弱勢團體。
自己邊看邊哭,哭,當然是因為他的悲慘。閱畢,感觸很多,還語重心長的跟老公說,"幸福,來自於this moment,因為,小時後幸福快樂的人,長大後,有可能因為他的職業態度或者嫁娶對象,讓他會走向外人看起來所謂的幸福與否;而,成年之後的幸福與否,也會因老年之後,孩子的未來,而有著幸福與否的變化(如棄養、不孝之類啦!)...,所以,幸福感來自於this moment。我想這就是緬懷過去,珍惜當下,不要寄望未來...."

【小花1Y9M】QQ小花妹妹的生活記事
從2011六月~七月開始,大概是小花一歲半之後,她的語言能力進展快速,比同時期的小米哥哥講話清楚。馬麻都認為這是拜小米和小寶哥哥所賜,每天環繞這這兩個1+1>2的小男生環境中,小花妹說甚麼好像也要跟他們爭一下...
現在,一歲九個的小花,可以自己獨處,會自言自語跟小狗玩偶,或者她的啡啡和小米哥哥的小Q一起講話..
前幾天,馬麻聽到她自己跟小狗說,"乖,過來,鼻鼻,挖鼻孔"
(馬麻在一旁看他的動作,去挖小狗的鼻孔,超好笑的..)

這班級每天day care的人數約莫10來個5歲的小朋友,而且班上有很多玩具lego可以玩,所以,即使語言不通,他還可以接受。2011年7月14日
【西雅圖之旅】100.7.14 Burnaby 迷路的美景
在Vancouver的四天三夜,我們都住在Hilton Vancouver Metrotown,位於Burnaby,downtown的東邊;有skytrain經過,其實是非常方便。
而Hilton屬於三星半,應該是我們這22天的旅途中,睡得最舒服的床囉!!

【西雅圖之旅】100.7.13-2 途經寧靜小鎮,Blaine
從Seattle到Vancouver,要開I-5高速公路,過兩國之間的border前的最後一個exit,所以就選擇這個交流道下來加油(因為之前就聽說Canada的油比Seattle貴,所以過border前一定要把油加滿)。真是誤打誤撞,也因此來到了一個寧靜漂亮的小城鎮 Blaine, Washington。還遇到一個當地人,很高興聽到我們從台灣來...
他應該是一個商人,說他去過China很多次,不過也知道台灣,並說下次很希望可以到台灣走走。出國來做國民外交,當然要說說我們台灣的好~~Welcome!
還好不用解釋Taiwan和China的關係和處境~~
總之,自己就帶著大小孩在這個小鎮休息一個小時多,看看來西雅圖之後的第一個海邊....挺愜意的小鎮....還有火車經過

【西雅圖之旅】100.7.13 Vancouver 我來了
一早出發趕緊要從Coast Bellevue Hotel 坐520公車要去downtown,幫Amy去Northwest school註冊,學校看起來是有點舊舊的,不像是University of Washington(原本要幫Amy註冊的大學裡的summer camp....)
