Category: My Adventures

Hi, everyone!
I’ve been on an adventure without Grandma and Grandpa! My Extra Grandma Carol invited me to go to with her to her grandson’s graduation in West Virginia and Grandma said I could go! I had a lot of fun and met more new friends than I can remember! Continue reading “My West Virginia Adventure”

Hi, everyone!
I’m so glad that spring in Rochester waited for me to come back from Europe! The leaves have come out on the apple trees I helped Grandma prune this winter. I think the trees look happy to be the size and shape they are now! It is still colder than usual here, and last week we had a lot of rain! Continue reading “Lilac Time!”

Hi, everyone!
Depending on who was in charge, Belgium and the Netherlands have been part of the same country or separate countries. Right now, they are separate countries, each with their own king, but they celebrate some of the same holidays. May 1 is Labor Day, and this year it was a four day holiday. Continue reading “Finishing the Trip”

Hi, everyone!
It’s hard to keep track of where I am on this cruise! The Amadolce often sails at night, so I go to bed in one town and get up in another. Sometimes, when Grandma and Grandpa and I take a bus trip away from the ship, we come back to a different port from the one we left! Grandma helps me by reading me the ship’s schedule every day. Continue reading “If It’s Thursday, This Must Be Belgium”

Hi, everyone!
Remember when Grandma and Grandpa were going to take me on a trip to see the tulips, but the volcano got in the way? This time we actually got here! We’re in the Netherlands! Continue reading “Tulip Time!”

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!”
