In My Part of the World

This is baby Joy!! She is the cutest girl! She is the daughter
of the family who owns the tiny market down
on the street we go to and get sweets. Her mother let me give her
an English name :) So I gave her my middle name!!
I love playing with her whenever I can!
Guzhen is the 4th Largest Lighting Manufacturer in the World! So
on the main road and everywhere here, you walk down the street
and it's store after store after store or factory of lights,
light fixtures, chandeliers, bulbs, lamps... You name it, we got it :)
The world gets their lights from us :)
Our other neighbors down the road, We are blessed back at home
and we just don't even count those blessings as much as we should.
This is my next door neighbors, The Factory of I'm not sure what
they make in there. We think windows? But people are in there 24-7 and
the smoke just billows out all the time! It's sad...
This is our town's canal right by our place!! It's also called the
dump, sewer, drainage, and our toxic waste site haha, I hate
walking by this everyday the stench is horrible! It water bubbles
it's so toxic! Mmmm mmm
The little boy was playing with his stick rolling it back and
forth while his Father watched him. Lines and lines of factories are
down this street. It's beautiful here in China.

Joy is soooo cute! Good name choice! She is cute like you and has a contagious smile, like you too! I'm glad you got a picture of one of the light stores - a bright idea, ha ha (you know me, had to throw a pun in there!) But seeing the other pictures helps me realize how blessed we are here. Thanks for the reminder!
