Here they are, in random order (as usual):



The bunkbeds! Yay! The only good part of this room!


Tres rustique, non?

Hotel at Disneyland Paris: $1,000

Calamity Annie



Annie, waiting patiently for Hans and Josiah at the shooting range

There was no way I was paying money to buy such a stupid hat, but a picture is free! Ha--take that Disneyland!!



It's a Small World (too small some days, if you know what I mean)


Hans and Annie on the teacups


It all looks so magical...


Moments before we wearily dragged ourselves to the exit. I am chronicle-ing our misadventures on video tape.


The sun shines...for four minutes.

It looks gorgeous, but cool. I kept looking for the mongrel throngs but that must have been later. Your bed looks cozy. But, yes, the kiddos look very happy in every pic. I think Heidi summarized it best: been there, done that! Time also diminishes the low points...

I 'd have to agree with your Mom. The trip must have been kind of like a lot of our bike trips, that is, a lot more fun to talk about later than to actually experience at the time. It also looks cold judging by the kiddos attire. Take care.

I LOVE all of the photos with the angels, Hans and you in them! I am so lonely for all of you. Thank you for posting them. I will look at them over and over again.

The delight in Josiah's eyes reminds me of how I must look in a bakery or candy shop! And Annie is too cute for words.

THANK YOU!

The pictures look great. It is odd to see Disney with winter coats and hats...

Like I just told you (since we are web-camming right now)...even though the trip sucked, the photo ops you got made it totally worth it!!

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
