The Further Adventures of Lion-San

Hi, everyone!

Last Wednesday I helped Grandpa put the last Trex deck boards on the lower section of the deck.  Doesn’t it look nice?   I thought we would finish the railing next, but Grandpa said we had to go out to Sodus to mow the lawn, instead.  It was very windy when we went to the Point to watch sunset.  The sand was blowing all over!  Thursday was a little nicer, so we got the lawn mowed.  I even had time to make friends with a tulip tree blossom before we went back to Fairport!

Friday morning, Grandma and Grandpa took me to the airport to start another trip!  Grandma told me we were going to go walking in Iceland!  Continue reading “Someplace New!”

Hi, everyone!  Since the middle of May, I’ve been helping Grandma and Grandpa with projects at both Fairport and Sodus.  It’s been a busy time!  Grandma did take me back to Highland Park after the Lilac festival was over to see my lilac friends in full bloom.  Continue reading “The Lilacs, the Dock and the Decking”

Hi, everyone!

The leaves are out on most of the trees now, so we are finally green!  Grandma let me sit by the sliding glass door next to the deck, so I could make sure the red fox knew the rules for being in our yard!  I think the fox understands Peaceable Kingdoms now. Continue reading “Weather or Not!”

Hi, everyone!

Some years where Grandma and Grandpa live there’s a single warm sunny spring day when all the leaves seem to pop out at once.  That hasn’t happened here this year!  It’s been colder than normal with a lot of chilly rain.  So the leaves are opening slowly and the flowers look discouraged! Continue reading “Gradually Green!”

Hi, everyone!

Now that it has stopped snowing, I’m helping Grandma and Grandpa do some of the spring chores.  There’s lots to do out at Sodus, so I make sure to be ready to go when Grandma and Grandpa are headed there.  We’ve had some pretty sunrises, so we get up early! Continue reading “Now That It’s Really Spring …”

Hi, everyone!

I haven’t written for a while because Grandma and Uncle David were having technical problems with my blog. When they fixed it, they decided to give my blog a new look!  I hope you like it!

I thought I’d found spring, and then it snowed, and now I think I’m beginning to find it again!  At least the last snow has mostly melted and my daffodil friends are back!

Hi, everyone!

Before Grandma and Grandpa and I left Maui, we had some time to sit next to the beach and watch the whales. I liked the Hawaii cookies! Just before we left, it started raining! The showers were heavy, but they didn’t last long! On our way to the airport, we had lunch at Haile i’maile General Store. I didn’t get to see my friend Bev-san, the owner, this trip, but I did have a piece of her famous crab pizza! By the time we got to the airport it was sunny again! On the last leg of the trip home, from Chicago to Rochester, it was only sunny above the clouds and I could see lots of snow on the ground!

Hi, everyone!

Before Moose-san and I left Kauai, we had more adventures! First, we got some shave ice for Nancy-san, because she had never had it before. The banana, mango and lilikoi syrup was yummy! On Super Bowl Sunday, we took another walk to Shipwreck Beach. We saw the same seal that was napping the week before on Poipu Beach with a sandy face. She had a sandy face again! Then we saw a baby seal on the rocks by Brennecke’s beach, too! Moose-san and I watched the Super Bowl football game. In Hawaii, it was on right after lunch! The next day, it was time to leave Kauai. Our church friends had just arrived in Kauai, so we gave them our leftover groceries! We took a picnic to Akuhini pier, which is right down the road from the airport. Joe-san and Nancy-san and Moose-san took a flight back home, but Grandma and Grandpa and I flew to Maui, instead!

Hi, everyone!
The newspaper says that Rochester has been having spring weather some days and all the snow is gone. In Kauai, it’s summer! We are eating breakfast on the lanai on sunny mornings and nobody needs a sweater! Moose-san and I have been good helpers making breakfasts with local flavors! After I posted my last blog, Nancy-san helped Moose-san write a comment. I think Moose-san needs to practice his typing! Right after that, Grandma and Grandpa and Joe-san and Nancy-san sat down to plan all the activities we want to do while we’re here. A lot of that involves all the restaurants we want to try! Moose-san and I were good helpers here, too: we wrote down the plans that everybody agreed on.

Hi, everyone!

Right after I wrote last time, we did get some snow in Fairport. It was very cold! Grandma said the snow was too dry for me to make a snow beast, so I just looked at it from inside. It was very pretty in the afternoon sunshine! Because it was so cold, Grandpa said it was time to drain the plumbing at Sodus. When it gets really cold, pipes that are full of water can freeze and break! Then when it gets warmer, there’s water all over the place!
