It looks like you had a nice day for going to the top of the tower. Annika is looking so grown up! Everyone looks great. Happy Thanksgiving, De Fors

Enjoyed the pictures. Did you find turkey on the menu? Hope so although I don't remember my mother fixing turkey every Thanksgiving.

I thought the same thing as Donna. Annie sure is looking grown up! Looks like you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Hans and Joe look like bookends in that one picture of them admiring the view. Speaking of which, how tall is that tower? It seems to me that Toronto has one that is similar. Hopefully we will see you soon, in the flesh that is.

I was going to say that the expressions on Annie's and Hans' face show that they're *obviously* related! :] It looks like she's even got his arm-crossing down...

No pickelhaube for Will, Rachel? I'm shocked!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Hans does smile for photos every once and awhile...the shocker is that we got one of him smiling AND with his eyes open!

Dad, Hans says that the tower is 217 meters. He loves not doing the conversion for me and seeing me squirm with pain...math is not my thing, you know? Hopefully you can figure it out.

Andrew, we often joke that Annie is Hans in female form. The resemblances, not only in looks, but in likes and dislikes, is amazing.

Mmm, that beer looks good.
So, this is your hair with a perm? I'm totally confused. It looks the same!!

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))....
