Red represents fire and is the most popular color in China. It is also the national color representing happiness, beauty, vitality, good luck, success and good fortune. Red is famously popular in relation to anything Chinese and is widely used during festivals and important events like weddings.
In general, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a chance for families to spend time together, although there are certain traditions.
One of the most common ways to celebrate is by eating mooncakes (or Bánh Trung Thu in Vietnamese) – a dense, sweet pastry that’s baked or steamed and typically enjoyed with tea.
Most are filled with lotus paste and salted egg yolk while others contain red bean or date paste, as well as fruit, nuts and seeds. People will also give mooncakes to family members and colleagues. Most Asian markets sell them – So buy and Share. Lisa

Today ‘s Tuesday Book post is in Remembrance of 9/11 . How to Discuss & Teach children about it . In book & activities. Lisa
The word was in shock when America was attacked in September 11, 2001. Lives were lost and properties were damaged. You weren’t yet born in 2001 so you probably have only heard of 9/11 on TV. This book will give you all the facts, written in a way that fifth graders would find interesting. What are your thoughts about 9/11?
This 32 page children’s book, with 25 child-friendly photos, is an ideal introduction to the facts and themes surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. This is the true story of “Sirius,” the police patrol dog who died in the Twin Towers on 9-11-01. The story is told by “Sirius” in his own words, and also recounts his friendship with his police officer partner, David, who survived the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks. This book has been used in New Jersey’s state-wide 9/11 Education curriculum since 2009 for grades 3-8, as well as in other elementary schools and middle schools across America. “Sirius, The Hero Dog of 9/11” is not only the inspiring story of a dog and his police officer partner, it is also the true story of tragedy, triumph and courage on the darkest day in America’s history. The author, Hank Fellows, was an eyewitness to the immediate aftermath of the destruction of the Twin Towers. The two songs that Hank wrote shortly after 9/11, “The Spirit of America” and “Halfway to Heaven,” have been performed by children and adults across America. These songs also have been performed at 9-11 ceremonies in New York City since 2003, as well as at ceremonies in Shanksville, PA (near the Flight 93 Memorial), and in Arlington, VA (to honor the firefighters who rescued Pentagon victims). Hank has presented programs about 9/11, and performed his songs across America. On September 10, 2006, Hank Fellows received a Citation from the New York City Council for his “continued generosity and devotion to the remembrance of September11th.” On March 8, 2007, Hank Fellows was honored by the 9/11 Memorial Committee of Jersey City for his “commitment and dedication to our Community.” Please visit Hank’s website http://www.AmericasSongwriter.com.

Happy July 1st !!
The Summer is truly here with temperatures in the 90″s. Hope you having a great Summer – we are busy getting our Son ready for his first year of college.
Did You know that July 1st is National Postal Worker Day ?
National Postal Worker Day is observed annually on July 1st. This is a day to appreciate and thank the numerous men and women who work consistently and diligently deliver all of our mail and packages. These employees suffer some of the harshest working conditions, yet continue to persevere six days a week.
It;s also National US Postage Stamp Day :
National U.S. Postage Stamp Day recognizes the ease and simplicity with which we can send and receive mail. A stamp represents payment for the delivery of a letter or a package.
A stamp represents payment for the delivery of a letter or a package. The first postage stamp in the United States was issued on July 1, 1847. At that time, stamps were not required. A letter could be mailed without a stamp and delivery paid for by the recipient. In 1855, the postage stamp became mandatory.
Philately is the study of stamps and postal history. Stamps often have a fascinating history. Everything from the inspiration and the artist to the postal rate in a given year affects the value of a stamp. Collectors look at quality and rarity as well. When we consider how few letters are mailed in this technological era, modern stamps may be the most collectible stamp of the future.

FIRST IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING CAT IN THE STACKS MYSTERY SERIES!
Everyone in Athena, Mississippi, knows Charlie Harris, the good-natured librarian with a rescued Maine coon cat named Diesel that he walks on a leash. He’s returned to his hometown to immerse himself in books, but soon enough he’s entangled in a real-life thriller…
A famous author of gory bestsellers and a former classmate of Charlie’s, Godfrey Priest may be the pride of Athena, but Charlie remembers him as an arrogant, manipulative jerk—and he’s not the only one. Godfrey’s homecoming as a distinguished alumnus couldn’t possibly go worse: by lunch, he’s put a man in the hospital. By dinner, Godfrey’s dead.
Now it’s up to Charlie, with some help from Diesel, to paw through the town’s grudges and find the killer before an impatient deputy throws the book at the wrong person. But every last one of Charlie’s friends and co-workers had a score to settle with the nasty novelist. As if the murder wasn’t already purr-plexing enough…
“Courtly librarian Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel, are an endearing detective duo. Warm, charming, and Southern as the tastiest grits.”—Carolyn Hart, New York Times bestselling author of the Death on Demand Mysteries
“Combines a kindhearted librarian hero, family secrets in a sleepy Southern town, and a gentle giant of a cat that will steal your heart.”—Lorna Barrett, New York Times bestselling author of the Booktown Mysteries
“Ideal for Christie fans who enjoy a good puzzle.”—Library Journal
“[A] pleasing blend of crime and charm.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“James just keeps getting better and better…It’s an intelligent read, so well-written that I couldn’t stop reading it. Every single time I turned out my light for the night, I found myself thinking about the story, flipping the light switch again and reading just ‘one more chapter.’”—MyShelf.com
