"Love Chinese" by Tania

Here's Tania:

I'm loving the lighter side of documenting my loved one this time around.  Never in a million years would I have thought to scrapbook about Mom's favorite food.  What I love even more is that my girls both have an extreme love of Chinese food too!  Eating Chinese is something Mom and I would do together any chance we could get.  Since my girls love it so much, I've tried to continue that experience with them. So, just about every time they have a doctor visit, I've made it tradition that we go get some Chinese food after the appointment.  And, every time it gives me the chance to tell them once again how much their Grammy loved Chinese food too.  This is usually met with a thousand other questions from them about what else she liked and I love telling them all I can remember.
