Yesterday.....

Snow is fun....and snow is work....



From 2009-12-21 SNOW


Mike and I went to the base and discovered that three of our kids' tickets were not as "final" as we'd been told. Observant blog readers will note that Bre's countdown moved and the others' didn't. The Air Force insists they will fly to the city on their origin...which is NOT Tokyo or Portland....but is Misawa and San Angelo and Eugene.....In other words, they'd rather pay for 3 rooms in Tokyo - TWICE and a room in Seattle, and commuted air fares....than save money and let the kids hop on a train to Misawa.....or get off in Portland and drive to Eugene.... SO...tickets changed....but I think the three of them are really, truly, final again. I hope. LOL

Mike and I decided to find a couple of Christmas gifts. We discovered that our BX didn't have anything the kids had on their list....but then Stacia wanted things like a tiger, a panda, toy snow... ::snort::

This a.m. I composed the Protestant News. It snowed and the kids continued to play. I'm heading to the onsen with my ladies.....I'll play this afternoon. ::snort::


Bre will be home in 2 days
Krista will be home in 5 days
Jamin and Josiah will be home in 7 days

De'Etta, we purchased *toy snow* last year. Here is a product that looks similar: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/instant-snow

Sis:

Toy snow!! interesting!

Think I prefer Dad's/my way of exercise (pool) rather than snow shoveling..... sorry guys!

Onsen..... let me see.... maybe the huge public hot-pool/tub at the pool is very similar......... just in swim-suits and not naked.. goodness, I'd want an extra large towel that the onsen lets you rent/buy. :):):)

I walked from Riverbend Hospital home today and then had no key to get in so walked to Fred Myers.... all in just 1/2 an hour. Felt good! :):):)

When do the kids leave now? Hope you get more time on that end.

love/prayers -- Mom T.

Sorry to hear the kid's plane tickets are being difficult. Praying they all make it to Japan in a timely and safe manner
