My New York Trip

I am having a great trip in New York, which began with trips to an upstate lakehouse in Deposit, NY -- where we had some quality barbecue steak and sweet corn. I'm so proud of the owner, an Uncle Jacob, friend of my Uncle's in the Chinese community in New York. There was a lot of manual labor on his part in maintaining the garden -- trimming grass, seeding flowers, building a house.
