The Showers of Blessings 
I’ve seen the terra cotta figures in China, that was such a thrill for me, thanks for bringing back that lovely memory.

Yes, Amy, it was quite a sight of the Terracotta Warriors, with an interesting history.

There is something–memorable–I can’t find the right word–about those images. It reminds me of times gone by but more. Thanks, Miriam.

I know, Jacqui, I don’t know how to describe having 11,000 lives to accompany and guard one person’s after life? The 13-year-old Emperor Qin commanded to built this tomb after he was crowned as the king in 247 BC. He died at age 49 and had 3000 concubines as companions and 8000 Terracotta Warriors to guard his after life. So they were buried alive. He was the Emperor ordered to build the Great Wall.

Hi, Vashti! How are you? Thank you for visiting and sharing. I saw the report about the hurricane in central Florida. Is it raining where you are? ❤ ❤

We got heavy rain and lots of wind but nothing horrendous. I live in south Florida, and the hurricane affected mostly the panhandle up north. We’re doing well. Thank you for asking, my friend. ❤ xo

Good to hear the hurricane doesn’t affect you. I wish we have heavy rain here in CA and OR. Yes, we must stay in touch with each other. 💖
