The sun was out for a short while but I really missed the bright blue skies of Truckee. No place can compare to Truckee when it comes to blue skies and beautiful views and weather! If anyone reading this would love to know more about my bit of paradise go to my good friend’s website: www.tahoetruckeehome.com , you could check out rental homes for summer or winter rentals and even check out home avalabilities if you ar ein the market to buy a home.
I am nursing a cold that I literally caught in the plane, 6 hours into the flight to Japan. We had a leak in the plane and so the captain imposed water conservation like no hot teas or coffees and we had to wash our hands using mineral waters. Maybe someone did not wash his hands and I caught his cold ..who knows. If we did not conserve we would have been diverted to Alaska for repairs etc. but I am mad cos I really wanted to work out in the gym and meet my friends here.
Every morning I turned on CNNand watched more bad news- how low can the DOW go down? It is so depressing. I am also following the news on politics and hoping that my absentee ballot will come throught the mail. I want my vote to count so it’d better come soon.
We went to a farewell dinner for one of Dave’s guys last night. There were nationalities from about 8 countries. We had beef sukiyaki – a huge pot on a small gas stove on the table where we cook raw slices of beef and veggies – and endless supply of beer for two hours. We all sat on the floor on tatami mats but I am sorry, this method of sitting just does not agree with me. Poor Dave was in agony…me too. Give me table and chairs anytime!
I have been making chainmaille jewellry since I came back and picking up my knitting again and counting the number of weeks before I go home again to truckee!! We just found out that we will be here for another 6 months. I really do not mind as long as I am with ma hero and as long as I get to come home to see my babies. I hope to see the cherry blossoms again before we leave Japan for good.
BTW one of my babies has a website – check it out – she has such happy illustrations – www.stellarbaby.com
Sayonara – til next time!!
I am just so sad that you had to go back and I missed you being here. Really, truly sad!
I am too! Email me your phone numbers again so I can in touch with you when I am back in Truckee. i hear it is snowing!!
It is snowing!! I know it’s not unusual but for some reason I am still feeling like it is a bit early. We always have snow at Halloween, and that means I should have about two more weeks of Fall. Heavenly made a statement that every year they have had at least 5″ by October they have had an above average winter…over 300″….yikes! The Almanac says colder than normal, and Heavenly received 5″ already…I guess if we put that together it means a colder and more snowy winter than usual. Bring it!
I put the link to the Treesort in my post today. Lots of pictures too! You can find it at http://www.treehouses.com It is in Cave Junction, OR and we had a blast!
