Leaving Shanghai early has one advantage…we didn’t fly on my birthday. Jim’s sister, Nancy, had a lovely dinner for me at her house. Martha Stuart has nothing on Aunt Nancy. She always makes the best meals!! I have no photos of the event because all my pictures were very blurry. Mimi and Papa […] |
