It was yet another quiet weekend for me, I've taken to watching TV and reading a lot while not drinking. I did however say something asinine while watching a commercial with LD and could not control my laughter for sometime after. To set the scene, an older gentleman is about to blow out his birthday candles and a young boy (his grandson perhaps) runs into the room holding a jar. He opens it, a big gust follows, the candles go out and there is this explosion if you will. So I say to LD "ohhh I get it he farted in the jar." She looks at me quizzically as I go on to explain how the little boy obviously farted in the jar and opened it thus causing the explosion. I then realize that this of course makes noooooo sense and the ad has something to do with wind or energy I'm not quite sure as I burst into laughter at my ridiculous thought. Seriously though, that's the first thing that crossed my mind "oohhhhh be farted in the jar, I get it." Unbelievable.
Today we went to see the Chinese Lantern Festival in the big city and it really was quite amazing and grand. Last year it took 60 craftsmen from the China Colour Lantern Museum of Zigong, China 45 days to build the beautiful sets on land and water.
This year, there were more than 40 spectacular illuminated sets; as well as entertainment and of course a small market area. I was surprised at the size of the lanterns and fell in love with the cute "chubby but agile" pandas.
The photos do not even do the festival justice but will give you a taste of what we experienced. Enjoy:
The above was particularly interesting as they used kitchenware to build the dragon heads. A close-up below where you can see the spoons, bowls and cups, very cool and creative.

I hope that everyone had a good weekend!!

I wish I had more to add (did laugh about the fart in the jar thing, and it seems possible to me), but those pics are really cool. The colors are excellent.
