KaBooM!

This is a picture I took a few days ago from my veranda, and it was so much more beautiful in real life... The ocean which is not visible here was visible there. I feel, like am not supposed to feel, very grey. Today is the last day of school for both my kids, and I should be reveling in my last few... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe it is already two days since my last post! What HAVE I been doing? I must say I spend ALOT of time posting in my head. I would say my thoughts are often here on blogit writing my next post, but then if I get too eager as I actually sit down to my computer, then it all seeps out of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night my editor, friend, and I had dinner. We do that about twice a year. For about the last three years she has been my editor. We get together to read our stuff, she is a poet and teaches English at a University here. We always linger over dinner for a few hours and then go to a wine bar. I... Sign in to see full entry.

It makes for town being a hoppin' place in December because people flock to their various venues for... Sign in to see full entry.

How was everyone's weekend? Yesterday was a shopping day and because I am relaxed from getting my christmas cards out, it wasn't Christmas shopping, but shopping for myself. We went to Uniqlo which is the only place that has my size. Here, in Japan, in boutiques and places where they sell nice... Sign in to see full entry.

Today I went to J's school and heard him sing, well him and everyone else, but he was REALLY singing!....opening his mouth real wide and singing, a song about friendship...he's come a long way from running away from all presentations as a wee lad in kindy and he looked so much like a big kid that it...
