Back from Vegas

Had a nice time in Vegas to see Celine Dion in concert,it was our anniversary. WOW what a show she was wonderful. The best show so far and her voice is amazing! If you can see her in concert it will be so worth the trip !!!

Went to our old favorite places and went to a pub for some GREAT Irish food and music. This is the kind of a restaurant I really enjoy!

My heart goes out to the Japanese people

What can I say about the tragedy of Japan, very sad this whole mother earth event.I have never liked earthquakes.
May God be with those who lives have been shatter by this tsunami.

I have so many memories of living in northern Japan and going to the beach with the hubby and kids to look for treasures like glass balls that were used on the nets which would keep the nets from sinking in the sea. We made it a game with the kids who ever found the most glass balls got a surprise ,which was a toy I had bought earlier that week in a mama-san store. Or the wooden child's geta(shoe) I found ,and the wooden fishing line on a wooden frame. Trips to Amori to shop and have lunch at a tiny soba restaurant. Our trips to Hachinohi for the weekend and the super sized mascot for that town is a wooden horse. It was bright red and of course we put the kids on top and took their photo. There were many forms of wooden horses all over for tourist to buy. At that time we lived in Misawa and on weekends we would travel out of town and scout out for antiques. The people of japan were so nice and helpful when we got lost in the tiny towns.

Blessings to all those who perished and also

to all the pets.

To The People Of Japan

I am heart broken at the events that happen more than a week ago. I have lived in Japan for 7 years and fell in love with your country and the people of Japan. I have so many fond memories of laughter and making close friendships that are dear to me.

Peace be with you all .......
