OFF I GO AGAIN...
I thought I would have time to post some pictures of the trip and tell you more about my adventures in Japan, and catch up on my own reading of everyone’s blogs, but nope. Not at the moment. Helen was kind enough to keep my doggies during my absence, and now she needs to be in New Brunswick ASAP, so...

THE TRIP
I’m home. It was an eventful trip, from the landing in Tokyo after the 15 hour flight from Chicago: Me to my DIL: What did the pilot just say, Yoshiko? Yoshiko: There is a storm. We can’t land right away. We are going to circle.... Me: (gulp) 30 minutes later: Me: Now what did he say, Yo? Yoshiko:...

D-DAY
We had a couple of inches of snow last night and it’s still falling. I’ve heard more than one car spinning to get up the hill, and wonder why people in this area do not realize that snow tires MUST stay on until the end of April. It happens every year, usually immediately after the Municipality puts...

Ok – I MUST start packing today. Without fault. I have to be at the airport for 4 AM Saturday morning, smiling to show my son and DIL that I am enjoying their gift....and presumably be pulling a suitcase with all the necessities needed for 10 days existence away from home. Oh, and my passport that I...

10 DAYS AND COUNTING...
’10 days before we leave for Japan’ is the status my son wrote on Facebook. He had to be kidding!! I checked the calendar. Damn, he was right. Now what? I have absolutely nothing prepared, other than my passport, which I will pick up 2 days before our departure date. I’m not even sure my grandson...

VERY, VERY BUSY...or NOT?
My I-Phone beeped, signalling an incoming text message. The distinctive whistle told me it was from my youngest son, the daddy of the Rug rats. I was surprised. I hadn’t heard much from him since his last visit with the boys; the one where he had rushed them away within minutes of receiving his GF’s...

THAT PREVENTIVE STUFF, ETC. ETC.
I dislike dealing with doctors or tests, so procrastinate as long as possible before doing those things one should do on a regular basis – preventive medicine, I believe it’s called. If I go at all, it’s because I’m sick. Of course, my timing is way off, meaning that when I am in need of his...

PROLOGUE TO A STORY...
She opened her eyes to the hum of the machines that surrounded her bed. It took her a second to determine where she was, what she was doing there. A slight movement caused her to look over, and she found him sitting by her side, the warmth of his gaze touching her. “Hey.’ He said softly. She...

TURNING THE PAGE
She called around 6 PM, and asked if I could pick her up. She sounded exhausted, and slightly desperate. She was waiting outside her door when I arrived; uptight, disoriented somewhat, and although warmly dressed, shivering with cold...or fatigue. She had nothing on her stomach except a cup of...

CLEANING - UGH! COOKING - YEA!
I truly love my house. Except when it’s time to wash the floors. So...once a week, I can’t say I DISLIKE my house, but I tend to grumble about its size during the few hours it takes to clean it. Note that having two doggies (three if we count Louka) coming in and out doesn’t help matters. Oh, and I...
