Hi, everyone!
The first week of April, one of my crocus friends finally bloomed! It is on the south side of Grandma and Grandpa’s house, so it’s always the first one I see.

A week ago Friday, Grandma and Grandpa took me out to Sodus for the first time since we got back from Hawaii. Continue reading “Finally Spring!”

Hi, everyone!
Even though it’s supposed to be spring already, it’s still been cold here! The Christmas cactus keeps having more blossoms, and they are really pretty! Outside, the apple trees are still asleep because all the nights have been below freezing! There have only been a few days above freezing, and Grandma got out on those days to finish pruning the trees. Continue reading “Still Waiting for Spring!”

Hi, everyone!
When we got back from Hawaii, I thought it would be starting to get warmer. But instead we’ve had more cold weather! We even broke a record for the coldest temperature in March at -9 degrees F.! Grandma said we could try to make everybody feel warmer by serving food from Kauai at our travel dinner. Continue reading “Waiting for Spring”

Hi, everyone!
After Bill-kun and Karin-chan left, we had more rainy weather! Moose-san and I helped Joe-san make yummy orange French toast for breakfast and panna cotta to put away for dessert. Continue reading “James and More Rain!”

Hi, everyone!
After La Vache went home last week, Bill-kun and Karin-chan were supposed to come with their mommy and daddy on Sunday. But when we woke up Sunday morning, we got an e-mail that they wouldn’t be here until Tuesday! It was snowing in Tokyo, and that made the trains run slow, so they couldn’t get to the airport in time to catch their plane. Continue reading “Rain and Snow, Oh No!”

Hi, everyone!
We had a week of unsettled weather, but that didn’t stop me from showing La Vache all my favorite places on Kauai!
On Monday, we had a very busy day! At noontime, we went to the Sunshine Market. La Vache and I waited right up front for the market master to open the market! Continue reading “Aloha, La Vache!”

Hi, everyone!
Grandma and Grandpa told me to put on my aloha shirt, because we are going to Hawaii again! I got to see my ladybug friend at the Rochester airport before we got on our first flight. After our second flight, we were in Los Angeles, but we still had one more flight to go! It took all day, but we finally got to Kauai — exactly the same place we stayed two years ago! Continue reading “Aloha from Kauai Again!”

Hi, everyone!
Grandma’s Christmas cactus is getting prettier and prettier! Right now, it’s just blooming on one side, so we can see all the blossoms at once! Continue reading “Here We Snow Again!”

Hi, everyone!
After Christmas, there was still more to celebrate! On New Years Eve, Moose-san and EUS and I got to stay up late to welcome the New Year. EUS decided that he wanted to start going on adventures with Grandma Sue-san, so I said goodbye before he left. Then a few days later, my friend Rudy invited me to a party at Papa Dick-san and Grandma Sue-san’s house. I had a good time seeing lots of my friends and listening to Rudy sing! Continue reading “A New Year!”

Hi, everyone!
Last Saturday, it really started to seem like Christmas was coming. Grandpa got the Christmas tree out of the garage to put it up. Guess what? The water in the bin around the tree was frozen! Grandpa had to break it up with a hammer before we could put the stand on the tree. EUS and I helped Grandpa make sure the tree was standing up straight, then we unwound the baling string.
