HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!!!
Well today was my very first Easter in china! Not every day does that happen! So for my very first easter in China I decided to go all out and even bought myself a bunny! He is black, white, and fluffy and he is all mine! Got him super cheap and it was sad to see him and all his brother and sisters all tied together waiting to be sold. If I had enough money, I would have bought all of them but I was only able to get this one.
After I had bought him for a corner vendor I needed some dinner really badly. Well I stopped at this lady that does this stir fry and you get to pick what you want out of her selection of food on her little kart. Well I got some rice, carrots, potatoes, meat and egg. Reminds me of the stir fry that would make for the family on rare occasions. ;-) Joking Mom, but the stir fry was always good and its great to have something here that reminds me of home.
While I was waiting for the stir fry to cook I saw that this lady had a huge pile of spinach or cabbage. I asked her, well more like gestured with my hands if I could have a little for my new fuzzy friend that was in his cage. She finally got the hint and gave me one leaf. Which was way more than enough. Well this little guy had the entire leaf eatin in the time that it took us to get our food. The poor little guy must of been starving! So I "asked" again if I could have another and she went to town. Grabbed this bag and started cramming as much leafy green vegetables into this bag for the rabbit. This was awesome and it took a little worry off my hands. The rabbit has been loving every leaf! So he and I are very appreciative of that ladies simple act of kindness.
Well this morning was Easter Sunday and what better way to celebrate Easter than with a real bunny scampering around your bed. Well that is how my Easter Sunday was spent. Listened to church, did some cross stitching and played with my new and so easy-to-love friend! I haven't come up with a name for him yet, but I do know that I plan to have a Chinese and an English name for him.
After church I was able to put my creative mind to use and built the little guy a house. I used the box that my birthday cake came in. It is pretty big so he has something to grow into. I cut out a door and then went one step further and made a chimney out of a toilet paper roll. Now he has a house, bedding in the house, food and water dishes and even has a room in our flat all to himself.
Thats right a whole room! He was in my room but he was grinding his teeth at night or doing something so I figured we have the room to spare, why not let the rabbit have it? So now he is a spoiled little rabbit and eats galore. I think that he was starved before I got my hands on him because he eats SO much! I keep feeding him because I don't want he to feel like he is starving! (Plus I can feel his little ribbies when I hold him!)
So that is how my wonderful Easter Sunday went! I got to celebrate Easter with a great church, beautiful weather, my cross stitch project, and my new friend rabbit.
I really need a name for the little guy! I really do! Any ideas from anyone. Let me know. I hope to hear from some people soon. Have a great Easter! Thank you mom for the the Easter Candy it was like I had found my easter basket. Well I better get going but I miss and love you all! Talk to you soon!
Love,
Jordan
p.s. Mom's note - Jordan has always loved animals. It will be hard for him to part with this pet when he is headed home.
