星期五，我們準備好衣物包包，並把食物﹕mostaccioli裝进塑胶袋及把chocolate pie裝进塑胶盒后，就開車出發囉… 我們路經一市镇，正是午餐时间，我們就在一間Chinese buffet restaurant用餐。我很貪心吃多了幾片的西瓜，走出餐館，我才發覺肚子很漲、很辛苦... 我要求Steve﹕ "以后别再去吃buffet了…" 他只對着我笑！他怎么會相信我呢？
因為最近Steve媽媽的脚受傷，行動不便，所以這次拜訪他們，我们是住Steve姐姐Sue的家。我们抵達Sue的家后，Sue就去帶媽媽過來。Sue家養着三只大狗，棕色雌狗叫Katy、
雄狗有参色的叫Beans、
黑色的叫Ace。
這星期她又帮朋友看护两只小狗…哈哈！你可以想像我们在Sue家時，
人、狗熱鬧的场面。媽很高興Steve帶來他们喜爱的食物，Sue讓媽享用了一点mostaccioli，她也吃了一些。過后她把那包mostaccioli放在厨房… 没想到就這樣，整包的mostaccioli被報銷了… ＇凶手＇是誰呢？
當天我們留下五只大小狗在家，我們一家大小就出去附近西餐廳享受豐富的晚餐。用完餐回到家，才發覺大小狗在家開party… 吃完整包的mostaccioli！最可疑的＇凶手＇就是高頭大馬的Ace啦… 
一定是牠從台上＇拿＇下來與朋友們分享豐富的一餐… Steve告誡Ace﹕”下一次我帶來的mostaccioli會有辣椒醬，很辣的…”
我們看上一台价錢不錯的有鏡子之物橱，但太大件不能用車戴回，只好作罷… 不過我們還是有收獲，
这一件東西跟我们回家了！傍晚，我们從Sue的家，高速路車行约40分钟去市区，到出名的P. F. Chang’s 
招待員也不是華人啊！媽第一次学用筷子… 
Penang市区街上有三輪車让遊客兜風，Kansas City市区街上却有
不同装飾的
马車兜風… 
漂亮的鐘樓、
噴水池…
這一次的拜訪讓我感覺＇腰酸背痛＇…在Sue的家有trampoline，
让我童心未泯上去弹跳… Sue的家附近有小泳池club，三年已没游泳的我，不免要乘機下水炫耀我的＇泳術＇给Steve的家人看…
哈哈… 我在泳池时，似乎聽到Steve在告訴媽媽和姐姐關於我曾經参加過Triathlon，即三項賽﹕游泳、騎脚車、跑步。
This was our family trip to
We went on Friday after we packed our stuff. We also packed the food: mostaccioli in a plastic bag and chocolate pie in a plastic container. We were ready to go… We passed a town around lunchtime, so we had lunch in a Chinese buffet restaurant there. I was greedy and ate many slices of watermelon. After the meal, we left the restaurant and I felt very full and uncomfortable… I told Steve, “no buffet next time…” He laughed at me! How can he believe me?
We stayed in Steve’s sister’s house this trip because his mom’s legs were injured recently and it would have been inconvenient for her. Sue went to bring mom to see us after we arrived at her house. Sue’s family has three big dogs: Katy is the brown female, Beans is mixed color male and Ace is the large black male. This week Sue was dog-sitting two small dogs belonging to friends…ha-ha! You can imagine how crowded Sue’s house was with all the humans and dogs. Mom felt happy knowing that Steve brought their favorite foods. Sue ate some mostaccioli and gave mom a little. After that, she put the bag of mostaccioli on the kitchen counter… We didn’t know the bag of mostaccioli would not last long… Who was the culprit?
We all went out that evening, except those five dogs. We went to a restaurant nearby where we enjoyed a good dinner. After we returned home from the meal, we found the dogs also had a party in the house… they ate all the mostaccioli! The prime suspect was the tallest guy: Ace… we think he was the one who took it from the counter and shared a good meal with his friends… Steve told Ace, “I will bring spicy mostaccioli with chili sauce next time…”
The second day, we went to shopping in a big furniture home store; the size is similar to IKEA. We found a dresser with mirror at a reasonable price, but it was too big to load in our car. We couldn’t get it on this trip… but at least we bought one thing! That evening, we went downtown to a well known Chinese restaurant called P. F. Chang’s. It was a 40 minute drive on the highway from Sue’s house. Is this a Chinese restaurant? I didn’t see any Chinese customers (except me)…the waiters and waitresses also were not Chinese! This was the first time mom tried to use chopsticks…
The tourist area in Penang has trishaws for sightseeing; downtown
This visit made my back & arms very sore… There is a trampoline in Sue’s backyard; I felt like a kid while jumping on it… Sue’s neighborhood has a little swimming pool. I haven’t swum in the past three years, but I wanted to show Steve’s family I am a ‘swimmer’…ha-ha… I think I heard Steve tell his mom and sister that I competed in a Triathlon, which is a tournament that includes swimming, cycling and jogging.
