It’s Never Good Bye
Since Hong Kong is considered international travel leaving Beijing means leaving Ivy.

Waiting for Surprises

A Little Halloween
I have heard it is fall. I have seen photos posted on Facebook by friends showing the leaves changing colors in other parts of the country. I have heard rumors there is a general election coming up, which is another sure sign that fall is here. Walking through Target I see the black cat and…
