So much has happened in the past two weeks my head is still spinning, though the tires have finally stopped moving. Thirty two hundred miles of driving, one tire malfunction, one car sold, one house emptied and sold, Mother's Day celebrated, lots of hugs and kisses shared and more than a few tears.
We celebrated Mother's Day at a Japanese restaurant where the boys were highly entertained by the knife-juggling chef and lots of fireworks as well as squirted water and squirted saki for the adults.
A volcano made of onion rings, filled with cooking oil, and lit on fire ...
Pretty exciting stuff!
Anna and three of her boys
Daughter Sarah
Me and The Writer
(and one little blond head)
And one of the twins, Aiden, made this gift for his mom for Mother's Day.
His mom's favorite colors plus GLITTER on the roof.
It could not have been a better Mother's Day celebration!

ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia, thank you for your comments at my posts. I couldn't send you email because your profile doesn't have one listed.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it is my blog that has small print or perhaps you inadvertently set your browser settings while in my blog? No one else has mentioned that the font is too small and I haven't set it to super small. But it does look super small when I preview posts. I'll look into this more.
A few days ago I discovered that my blog font was super big (wile other sites I looked at the font was normal size). I couldn't figure out how to get the font to normal until I experimented by going into browser settings and resetting. Now my blog font is fine on my screen. It shouldn't affect the font on your screen as it is my browser. So am a little perplexed :-(
I sure love seeing these smiling faces. Glad you had a successful trip.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That looks like so much fun. My brother and wife took our mom to Benihana of Tokyo. Mom said it was loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a lot you've been up to! That Japanese restaurant looks very entertaining as well as having delicious looking food 😄. Lovely photos of the family too.
