First Major Trip

-
One last thing! I booked us a trip here for the first weekend in February: http://www.centerparcs.com.

We are going to one of the resorts in Holland and may try to visit Amsterdam at the same time.

I'm so glad to have our first major trip of the year planned. I hope that we can do some smaller daytrips in January near Stuttgart.

Tschuss!

I hope that you get to do a lot of traveling in Europe this year. Do you think of Spain or southern France, places that sound so nice when I read of them? Enjoy the trip to Holland.

Celine, want to come along? We'll put you to work! ;)

I'm terrified of having to wear a swimsuit. Why don't places make those early 1900s type swimsuits with the stockings and bloomers anymore? Dang.

Dad, I do think of Spain a little, especially since Hans speaks excellent Spanish. I wouldn't mind seeing Madrid. And I wouldn't mind seeing Provence. I think 2010 is the year of heading northwards though...Scandinavia, northern Germany (aka Kuehl country), possibly Ireland.

As you probably already knew, I'm thrilled you're going to The Netherlands! I must say, I prefer the small towns to the large cities. But no matter what, it's a very small country and you'll see lots of nice places.

Have an awesome time! Something very fun to look forward too. I loved the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.

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))....
