Hi, Everyone!

Our cruise ended with a bus trip to Paris.  As soon as I saw the Eiffel tower, I got very excited.  This is where Remy and Linguini live!   I hoped Grandma and Grandpa would take me to their restaurant so I could eat ratatouille. Continue reading “Paris!”

Hi, Everyone!

Boy, have I had a couple of busy days!  Yesterday, we started out in Mainz, Germany.  I got to see St. Stephan’s church.  The buildings are made of red sandstone, but the windows are blue stained glass designed by a famous artist, Marc Chagall.  Continue reading “Even More Cruise Stories”

Hi, Everyone!

The past two days we’ve continued cruising on the Main river.  “Main” comes from a Celtic word meaning “snake”, because the river curves around so much.

Yesterday, Grandma and Grandpa took me on a walk in Wuerzburg in the morning.  We went to the “new” residence of the prince-bishops, built in the 1700s. Continue reading “More Cruise Stories”

Hi, everyone!

Now I am on a big river boat cruising on the Main-Danube canal and the Main river in Germany.  The Amacello is as big as a hotel.  Their gangplank even has a red carpet on it to make me feel welcome, although the first step was a big one for a little lion.  Everybody is very nice and I am making lots of friends.  Continue reading “Cruising Down the River”

Hi, everyone!

Grandma and Grandpa and I spent the weekend in Prague, Czech Republic.  It was a very long plane trip to get here!  We left Friday at lunch time and didn’t get here until Saturday morning.  After we got settled on Saturday, we took a walk to see the Charles bridge over the Vltava (Moldau) River.  Continue reading “My Weekend in Prague”

Hi, Everyone!

Yesterday, I helped Grandma and Grandpa and Joe-san and Nancy-san entertain the Mt. Risenacle choir at a picnic.  Grandma and Grandpa do this every year and this is my second year to help.  Continue reading “Mt. Rise Choir Picnic”

Hi, Everyone!

Grandma and I decided to make pesto out of the  Thai basil Grandma grows.  Thai basil doesn’t smell or taste quite like regular basil, so we needed to find special ingredients to go with the special taste.  Grandma took me to F. Oliver’s oil and vinegar shop in Canandaigua so we could find just the right kind of oil to use.  Continue reading “Thai Basil Pesto”

Hi, Everyone!

I’m back in New York, having an at-home adventure with Grandma and Grandpa.  The first day I got back, Grandma baked my favorite sticky buns for breakfast.  Yum!  Yum!  Then I helped Taylor and Danny do a jigsaw puzzle.  That was hard work, so I had to take a nap.  After dinner, Grandma and Grandpa took me to the lighthouse to watch the sunset.

Love,

Lion-san

 

Hi, everyone!

When we woke up this morning it was so foggy outside that we could hardly see the lake right in front of the cottage. Joe-San said it would be raining most of the day.  What could we do on a rainy day in Elk Rapids? Continue reading “What Can We Do on a Rainy Day in Michigan?”

Hi, Everyone!

Yesterday was great fun! The best day ever!! We went kayaking out on Lake Michigan, all the way down to a place called Petobego Pond. A lot of birds live there, and they were all singing at once to welcome us when we got there! After our kayak ride we went to see a real lighthouse right at the very tip of Old Mission Penninsula.
