Kansas City, Kansas

现在的我应该在进行着我的寒冬之旅，将到以下地点。。
Philadelphia -> Washington DC -> New York City -> Boston

就当我在冰天雪地里，到处走走时，也不忘了本人部落格的支持者，在此为大家呈现之前八月秋天时Kansas City, Kansas Road Trip 的照片。

Before viewing the following pics, let me give a credit to Long Choo Yap who took most of the amazing pics using her wonderful camera. Those with his signature logos were taken by him while those with my blog link were taken with my 'cheap plak' camera.

His pics have high resolution, viewing it just like this might not allow u to see the quality of his pics.. so, feel free to click and enlarge them.

Thanksgiving Dinner

It was Thanksgiving when most of my friends left Lincoln and me and a few of others here.

So, My housemate and I joined an American, Helen's family for the Thanksgiving dinner.

The living room

This was Helen's house with her son, Tyler sitting there. Helen was a nice and lovely woman. This house had a great story. She built this house with her husband and moved to a farm house not long after that.

Family gathering

She missed this house a lot since it was what she and her husband built together. After her husband passed away two years ago, the house was on sale again by the previous owner so she bought it back and moved in, staying there alone.

Helen's husband (picture), not in the mirror (不是显灵）

When she talked about the story behind this house and how her husband wanted the house to be, i could see a lot of stories in her eyes.

Tyler by the corner

I like this corner a lot. Warm light, comfortable couch, peaceful view...

A warm dining area

Here comes the Thanksgiving meal!!!

Thanksgiving Meal

It's not dinner actually... It was around 1 pm when we had the Thanksgiving meal. Of course, Thanksgiving meal is about turkey...

The dinner was awesome, thanks to Helen, Karen (her sister-in-law), and Kristy (her in-law's sister-in-law).

Left to right: Helen, Karen, Brooke, and Kristy

Time to go outdoor for American family game...

Some simple baseball...

Another thing about Thanksgiving, it was for family gathering. So, family members might just get together and play some simple games, watch football, and take a nap.

Board game: Trivia

1

It was mostly about asking and answering trivia questions.

2

The guy in the middle was Steve who was supposed to be in Houston, Texas suddenly showed up at the door surprisingly when his dad talked about him...

2

"My second son, steve is teaching in Houston... Oopss.. no, he is there?!" Staring at the door, surprisingly.

2

The women were so surprised and yelled, followed by a big hug. So sweet....
2

Another team in the game

However, most of the questions are mostly about Americans.. So it was totally a disaster for me. haha

Baby?

2
Oh, I saw this before we left.. It looked creepy, isn't it? haha...
2
When we were leaving the house, I saw Helen was alone in the house. I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

2
Thanks for having us, everyone.

P/S: 能够回家，是一种幸福。能够团聚，是一种福分。

再见落叶

那天打工后，心情十分不好。。 选择一个人在大学里走走，顺便欣赏这一片凋谢前的凄美。

最近迷上了拍摄落叶。。也许是想珍惜落叶坠落前最美的一刻吧。。

我大学就是地方大，稀奇古怪的艺术品一大堆。。

好像这个像戒指的东西，除了当hamster跑圈圈的玩具，我真的不知道还可以干嘛。

还有后面那颗铁树，超奇怪。落叶还不够黄。。可以再多些。。

在一片荒凉的落叶中还可以看到红红的果实，的确有点温暖。。

校园难得的宁静。

图书馆前的色彩迷人。。。

一个人坐在林荫道旁，踩着落叶，其实也很写意。

最近看着路上落叶，不断浮现的感触：

“最美丽的一刻，尽在凋谢前吗？”

2

P/S: 有没有什么可以永远不凋谢？

落叶

微不足道，你在乎吗？

2

我，

千里之外，你在乎吗？

2

期待？

秋天本该干爽，可惜天空流泪；
应该轻松面对，眼眶还是湿了；
你的空头支票，我还不能兑现；
因为无法完美，所以选择原谅。

期待，
让我兴奋不已
让我微笑入睡
让我忘记距离
让我每天兴奋打开邮箱

期待，
让我跌落谷底
让我眼眶泛红
让我失望低落
让我不敢对邮箱有期待

期待，
我不该有期待

2
2

期待没了，我不必再像个傻瓜了，每天兴奋地打开邮箱，即使是空的，仍然期待明天的这个动作。

P/S: 气话后的失落还是不间断。
