He is a very pleasant person and he told me about his family and goals. He has 2 children &#8211; a daughter about 13 and a son about 7. His wife was a school teacher but lost her job when the second child was born. His goals include building a house with enough room for his parents, who lived in a small village about 10 hours away. In his New Year email he wrote that the house has been built and that they will live together this year. We had a great time in China and Mike was a big part of it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Mike Sunshine cruising the Yangtze with my gorgeous mother BarbaraB.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2009\/01\/third-place-is-as-good-as-winning.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/SXKBMaGBUZI\/AAAAAAAAG-Q\/JVQlWqa7RqM\/s320\/Mike+from+China.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292434562276741522\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Mike Sunshine and BarbaraB<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My gorgeous father, GeorgeB, wants to tell you about his charming friend Mike, who not only voted for me in the Weblog Awards all the way from China, but also said that my smile is &#8220;so sunshine.&#8221; In a comment left on a previous post, GeorgeB said: &#8220;I met Mike on a cruise down the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/mr-so-sunshine\/\">Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,83,146],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1055","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-gorgeous-family","7":"category-gorgeous-friends","8":"category-so-sunshine","9":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
