But the best part of all is that my client did all the work with Mr. AOW. She even spoon-feed him, thus relieving me of having to clean up after him. She felt that she had to spoon-feed him because it is a struggle for him to eat without the use of his left hand.<br /><br />We came home with enough food for at least 2 days -- and a bottle of excellent wine, too.<br /><br /><b>What wonderful friends this Chinese family is!</b><br /><br />They also helped Mr. AOW to walk up the few steps into their home, so he got some exercise to offset the feast.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-14206350390141050892014-08-23T11:46:21.225-05:002014-08-23T11:46:21.225-05:00And we, here in So Cal, have just the opposite - t...And we, here in So Cal, have just the opposite - the warmest after years of very cool summers.
