朝花夕拾在美国

生活中的点点滴滴就像早晨的落花一样新鲜美丽,但很快就会枯萎消失。只有拾起来并风干保存它们才能留芳久远。

女儿一进高中就面临着六十多个club的选择,无所适从。稀里糊涂地选了几个以后才开始逐渐了解,放弃,坚持,到最后只有演讲坚持了四年。说是四年,其实也没有全力以赴。第一年是学习阶段,尝试和摸索着参加一些小比赛。第二年忙于水球队和唱歌,也基本处于打酱油的状态。第三年才开始拿小奖,算是尝到了演讲的甜头和乐趣。直到最后一年才拿了几个小比赛的第一名[阅读全文]

和在美国的很多家庭一样,我们也很迷信美国的游泳训练,毕竟人家是游泳大国。在女儿三岁多的时候我们把她送到离家不远的YMCA去学游泳。我相信她只要一路跟班学下去,一定能很快学会,学好。

可是几个星期过去了,女儿还是只能带着充气小翅膀,抱着泡沫滑板在水里打水玩,唯一的收获就是不怕水了,其它的进展一点也看不到[阅读全文]

感恩节本来是去旧金山看前不久刚通车的BayBridge,图的是路上人少。到了bridge前的第一个出口下来,本想在这著名的TreasureIsland外加海军基地照新的海湾大桥,怎奈正好背光,下午应该不错。于是只好改道去Sausalito,途径鱼人码头转了转以后就穿过金门大桥,直插Sausalito中心。今天跟桥干上了,可惜都是在车上照的。
新的海湾大桥是很气派的白色,连灯柱子都好[阅读全文]

早晨起来照例出去hiking。几天前刚下了一天雨,错过了一周两次hiking的第一次,这次一定要保证。停车场比往常的车少多了,不知道是快过节了,大家都在忙别的,还是因为天气渐冷,改做室内运动了?
这里是旧金山东湾的一处很有名的hikingplace,有几条路可以到山顶。有距离短但路途陡峭的,有路途平缓但距离偏远的,总之每人都能找到适合自己的trail。我今天走的这条[阅读全文]

女儿去东部上大学已经三个月了。我已经开始掰着手指头计算着她回来的日子。机票早已经订好,后院摘的鸭梨也早就躺在冰箱里等着她回来吃。可惜我们东西两岸遥遥相望,感恩节是没指望见面了。女儿最早也要在圣诞节前几天才能回来。
我们的电话联系一直都是纯中文的,除了不得不说的英文字以外。有时候她说的中文我会听不懂,这时她才会用英文再解[阅读全文]
