KaBooM!

Hey you all! Goodness! Staying away a whole week leaves so much to talk about, I don't know quite where to start! Thanks for your comments! You all on Blogit are so wonderful, I always feel your warmth and kindness, making this a really great place! I guess I'll start with a week ago today. E's team... Sign in to see full entry.

I won't be posting this coming week as I am afraid I will be swamped. Hubby goes away to Bangkok and I have to hold the fort. I am nervous as I have never had so much on my plate, my father-in-law, the kids, the business, meals... I hope everything goes smoothly. I hope I can get on here to read you...

Today is a hot summer's day. Recently, the temperature has only been in the lower twenties, but today it got up to thirty! It may even be more, the forecast was for twenty nine, but I am willing to bet that it is more out there. I water my garden every day, but other than that it goes wild and once...

I just posted my next to the latest story. I don't like this one as much as A Soft Place on a Rooftop Between Heaven and the Hard Earth.

It is Sunday afternoon. I just posted my latest short story, that is the first short story in a looong while, there is satisfaction in that.

It is clearing up! I just giggled through Nautikos's comments on my blogs, amazing! You put me to shame Nauty, I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Sudare are these, bamboo slats that keep the sun out. They will stay up till they are blown away, they are only leaning on the wall. Very Fragile, like me today, I will only stand up till the wind blows me away. This is all I have to offer today, not even the right time, with the sun on them! I need... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is Mt Fuji again after heavy rains this morning. The view of this Mountain becomes less and less dependable when spring starts turning into summer. Notice the lack of snow. I hope I can send you all a black fuji one day this summer, but that area becomes hazey throughout the day, so I feel... Sign in to see full entry.

Here are: My sister and my daughter, together! As I've mentioned my sister is in Japan, doing Tokyo and Kyoto and some points in between with her students from University of Missouri in St Louis where she teaches Japanese. She had a few hours to spare so she came to Shizuoka, by Shinkansen on the... Sign in to see full entry.
