An elderly Asian couple often pass by when I am sitting on our front porch. The woman is a sweet granny type. Both wear masks. He nods, she stops, and I can see the smile in her eyes.
They speak limited English, but we understand each other. We laugh together, and s
he likes the cats, too. I wrote out a short list of simple Chinese phrases to use next time: How are you? It's a beautiful day, etc. My spouse picked up the phrases from his Chinese park friends.
I searched online for the English to Chinese translation for the word “Peace." I copy/paste/printed it out and cut it to size to attach to a Peace Dove for her.
