The Joy Luck Club

Winter                                                              Moon of the Winter Solstice

Did you see the full moon last night with Jupiter atop it?  Here a mist clothed both in a gentle gauze.  It was a Christmas present from the universe.

Kate and I just watched the Joy Luck Club.  An old movie, yes, but a good one.  I read the novel, too, but a very long time ago.  And liked it a lot.  I remember that.

This one, like Lincoln, had me in tears at the end though for very different reasons.   The four mothers had stories of being daughters in China and raising daughters in America.  The daughters had an American heritage with the Chinese overhang effecting their lives in multiple ways, good and bad.

If you haven’t seen it and like family dramas, this is a good one.
