My grandmother's cousin...I called my Aunt because I was so young...was
a missionary in China for most of her adult life. I went and stayed
summers with her when I was nine until she died a few years later. She
and I used to sit and have hot green tea together and she would tell me
Chinese children's stories and stories of her time in China. Because
of her I have a great love of hot tea, Chinese art and decor, and even
worked at a Chinese restaurant while attending university. The owners
and I got along famously.
