All Good Things Must End

And it's too darn bad. It was good to have all "The Girls" around the table again. It reminded me of how very blessed I have been these last ten years.

And now there is a whole new generation for me to corrupt...

Okay, I'm a little wierd..

Anyone traveling to Asia should come home with pictures. Mine just happen to be of bakeries....

I stood in rapt fascination watching this young baker in Tokyo as he made baguettes so naturally I had to buy one and see if it tasted as good as it looked.

WOW. I went back and bought several more...

Then there was the Boulangerie in Hong Kong...

I gotta go order another hundred pounds of flour....

Why God Created California

So people like me don't have to live in places like Arkansas. I like to see what I breathe, not see my breath. Twenty freaking degrees with 42% humidity is not where I long to stay. Good thing I leave Wal-Mart-Ville on Friday and return to loved ones and civilization.

I wonder what color the walls will be when I get home?

No... Really???

It sure as $%#@ looked easier on HGTV was the direct quote. And not mine either.

I hate cable TV. I'm gonna pull the plug on it one of these days....

Getting Closer to Christmas

With only a week to go the final plans have been submitted. Now I just have to get eveything done before the deadline...

The Griswold's Are Home Again...

I read recently in someone elses blog that having a little one makes it so you can not help but enjoy the Holiday Season. I guess that is true. What we failed to grasp is that baby can be a 19 year old one. My Baby and I spent the best part of the day getting the Christmas lights hooked up. Yea, Mayor, you're right... It's good to have a baby at home. It will be even better when all the "kids" are together again...

Mama's Got a Brand New Tattoo

Who would have thought that after threatening The Girls if they ever got a Tattoo she would take it off with a belt sander, my Sweetheart would get one. No, I had not filled her with Singapore Slings beforehand either, although we did visit Raffles Hotel the other day. For some reason I couldn't get her into the Long Bar...

We have really enjoyed this trip, even if we got to spend an unplanned night in Bangkok. Yesterday we took a walking tour of "Little India", that's where the tattoo came from. Yes, kids, it's just Henna.

Today I didn't have to work a normal schedule so we had time to go into Malaysia and visit some Batik fabric shops.

Don't ask how much fabric we are bringing home...
