Wordless Wednesday - Lights and Action!
U arrived in Vancouver this morning and we put him to work immediately - we put up the outdoor lights in the morning and then decorated the tree in the afternoon. Good fun!

Quote of the day...
In a letter dated February 1925, from an American businessman to a close and highly regarded Japanese friend:
"Peoples of different races generally do not live together with complete sympathy and understanding, and rarely succeed in creating social and economic conditions which easily blend. Neither do marriage and the mixing of bloods usually produce fortunate results."
