1. This e-mail comment from my sister, with her permission to use it here. “I’ve just finished reading your blog and feel I must add this tidbit to your exotic holiday. Did you know that the Chinese were the first manufacturers in world history? When Europe was still heavily wooded and home to boars?. Their product was porcelain and much valued by the then small civilized world, hence the saved pieces. Over the centuries that world spread through the Middle East, Europe, eventually to America and now back to China. There is still extant a novel from that early period in China, written by a woman.

   That bit of information is courtesy of The Great Courses’ World History. Thelma

2. Good pics, Mona!

   Everything from elephants to ceramic spires……

   Brought back happy memories. Aren’t we lucky to liven a time when we can experience that ?!

   You are living a full life. Well done.

   Love, Babs

   • You are so right, Babs! We are definitely lucky — in Minnesota terminology, we’re blessed. Thanks for watching and commenting. More will come.
