Grace的進修雜記:)

They don’t have sparrow on street. There are black bird in Portland---common America bird of which the male is completely black!

在機場的時候看到有標示請旅客不要餵食烏鴉， 本來我並沒有注意到路旁垃圾桶邊有烏鴉在覓食…，但是看到那些警語後發現，附近的烏鴉還真不少耶！

It's good picture on the wall , when we went to The Dalles, their street wall is so beautiful, so I took some pictures there!(我猜想這應該表示美國的印第安人曾在這裡聚集過所留下的記錄吧！)
Also I saw Big Ice on the road!
因為去The Dalles shopping剛好去之前當地有下過雪，所以天氣放晴後地上有些微濕，但是不曉得為何路上會出現這樣大的冰塊，所以就把他拍起來了。

I got the invitation, so I wenty to my best friend's wedding!
Congrations to the Bride and groom! A match made in Heaven!

Grandma had 3 cats and 2 dogs, and only 1 cat is female, it's Trouble--Grandma found her in the garden !
I like to play with Trouble!
也許是它是寵物中唯一的女生，所以她比較容易與人親近，像這次我就只有分別拍到兩隻狗和她的照片，其他那兩隻貓我就來不及抓住它們的身影。因為我和它們不熟，每次一發現它們的行蹤，要拿起相機都太慢了，那兩隻貓胖到讓我懷疑公貓也會懷孕，不過它們胖是胖動作還是很敏捷喔！

Chinese New year is long vacation to me! 2nd day of Chinese NEW YEAR I took some pictures!
農曆過年的第二天因為乾姐姐都回娘家，所以乾媽一早就約我我上一起去圍爐，趁還沒開動先和小朋友拍照！雖然乾哥的小孩才六個月大，但她還會看鏡頭！ 和大嫂一起拍的合照很上相唷！

THIS TIME I SENT POST CARD FOR MYSELF, .有沒有發現這張照片的右上角那個明信片的郵戳還寫HAPPY HOLIDAY之類的ㄚ！
每次出國旅遊，總是會找時間寫明信片回公司給同事SAY HI！這次也不例外，當然也寫了一張給自己(在HR的那幾天寄明信片寄到去倒郵局窗口辦事人員就會問說今天幾張？或是說你每天都很忙著寫明信片ㄛ！)

I’ve met him several times. Since leaving Hood River last Apr---it’s the final time I saw him! This Christmas I miss him vary much! LOSS HIM I FEEL SORRYHe was so nice and he was caring about the happiness of me!

算算若高一的遊學不算的話，我已經重新走訪HOOD RIVER七次了，這是第一次沒看到DAD，雖然2008年的五月初(在婚禮過後的第16天)有接到GRANDMA的電話告訴我──他的告別式何時舉行，但是因為那時的我剛請過特休去參加美式婚禮，所以不方便再請假…，且在國際電話中我也沒問清楚到底發生什麼事，是誰走了？因為我一直覺得他是很NICE的一個人，真的把我當他女兒看的好爸爸，所以那時我雖然有聽ㄚ嬤的話打國際電話給阿母說很遺憾聽到那個消息…！但我一直告訴自己也許我聽錯了，應該是別人離開而不是他。

It's a gift from Sunshine!
因為去年有参加天使不要太用力的部落格串連，所以收到陽光機機會的筆記書，還在最後特別感謝處寫上有参加串連的部落格網址！
讓我一收到這本筆記書就決定要寫篇文章來幫忙宣傳一下，若是想買「天使太用力」可以参考以下資訊：

In the end of every year our company give us gift coupons which sold by SOGO department store , and our government give us coupons to consume.
第一次拿到消費卷的我就當作是多拿了一個過年的紅包，只是1/18發放的消費券有使用期限，且不能找零，而公司給的SOGO的商品券能找零沒有使用期限。
這次一發放消費券，看新聞報導很多人都是馬上拿去大賣場購買農曆過年的民生用品，所以雖然也拿到公司年終給的百貨公司禮券，但是想先留著不用。

This time the weather is not good enough, so I didn't take too much pictures of license plates!
But when I went to outlet, I saw a car from Canada !
我猜也許加拿大的冬天太冷了，所以她們開車南下來這裡過耶誕順便SHOPPING吧！

MOM TOLD ME THAT ----IT'S 15 YEARS AGO THEY GOT THE SAME HEAVY SNOW!
This spring I only saw a little snow in Hood River, but this winter I saw a lot of snow there, they told me that I bring snow with me to visit Hood River!
In fact,downtown got snow on main road,.

Grandma's Friend invited us to her home for dinner! We plan to make a dessert to take with us!
First we need to buy eggs and milk brownies power!
second put 2 eggs into the power!

We had fun to be in the special restaurant!
New Year's MENU----IN AMERICAN LEGION : I HAD CHICKEN OSCAR (ALL DINNER INCLUDE SHRIMP COCKTAIL , CAESAR SALAD ,AU GRATIAN POTATOES & RALL)
You have to tell them when you would like to be there! And they will ready for everyone!

It's snow time, and I had different feeling here! When it rains, I would like to see if there has rainbow after rain!
這次來剛好是冬天，所以除了早晚溫差大，也很容易遇到下雪天，像剛到的那天還遇到公路剛處理好積雪開放行駛。而且我發現在一般的公路上大家多少都會因為路面積雪所以開車時速會減緩一些唷！(有些路段時速一般的車是65、卡車的話是55)
而且為了讓濕滑的路有些磨擦力他們還會往地上灑些類似小石頭的東西讓我們走在路邊不用擔心滑倒，反而是停好車要往其他地方走時要小心腳下可能一攤水會把褲管弄濕！不過室內暖氣幾乎都是開很強，所以一下子就不管是微濕的帽子或是褲管很快就會乾囉！

IT'S NOT EASY FOR ME TO COOK IN US! BUT MY HOST MOM TOLD ME HOW TO DO IT. SO WE MADE IT! 水煮蛋相信大家應該都覺得很熟悉，反正就是把水放入鍋中，然後把蛋放進水中就好了，但是我們要做的東西是把水煮蛋再加工的double egg!
首先要先將煮好的蛋剖開(先把殼弄掉﹞，然後將蛋黃放入另一個容器中，一個人喜好加入一些沙拉醬和胡椒、蜂蜜‧‧我不是用功做筆記的學生所以回來到現在我早就忘記調味料的名稱了，然後把攪拌均勻的蛋黃醬放回那半個蛋白上，這樣就是完成的double egg囉！一做完這個要先把它冰到冰箱去冷藏要吃之前在放上桌就可以了！
