Four mothers meet for Mother's Day in our mother's beautiful home.

Pictured:

- My mother, Li Li, her mother, Wu Aiqing, and her father, Li Jihong.

- My father, Hao Zhang, his father, Zhang Junjie, and his mother, Teng Meiduan.

- My aunt, Yajun Chen, and her mother, who I call "waipo."

On occasions like these, my mother whips out her delicious cooking and fruits for the guests. My father shows everyone his latest obsession, like his rock collection from the woods and streams behind the house.

Yes, there is something like a lake, if you walk far enough in the woods.

Here is to many more memories in Li Li's dream home.

My mother's father and mother came to the United States for three months to spend it with their loving daughter. We took a family photo before they went back to China.
