Saturday is party day for the Lyon family. We start with Emersyn’s birthday party from 10-12am. After a loud, fun kid party, we are having an adult evening deck party. We have this fabulous deck with a view! I have spent the last week de-cluttering our house. I think Jim will insist on a deck party every year – so, he can enjoy a clutter free house all summer. The clutter makers will be gone!

I went to the Hongqiao flower market to get flowers for the party. These cost me all of 130rmb/$20. Amazing!!
