We’re having an early Chinese New Year celebration with our friends this weekend. Susan is a great cook and the rest of the group will make delicious contributions, so we’ll eat too much, and we’ll laugh, and have a warm evening together.
Have a good weekend and a special Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
Today was the official opening of a new memorial honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King. I’m looking forward to seeing it soon. You can use the link near the end of this post to see a photo of the memorial and learn more about it.
