NO not the dirnl !!!! Don’t sell the Dirndl. You look so good in it.
It hurts to let go of these kind of things….it’s not the actual thing, but the memories that go with it …

I hope the appraisal went well and that you get more than what you want out of them. Thanks so much for mentioning my and my post. I’m so touched that I could help you get motivated! We have such a long road of purging ahead of us — sometimes it feels like we may never accomplish it all. But I know we’re already making a lot of progress despite it sometimes seeming to go slowly. I guess it’s probably just the size of our project that makes it so daunting lol

Comment on Kyushu Sights to See by Maria

How nice of you to leave a few lines! It is funny when I trace back our connection to Isahaya… I had met this Japanese girl at the former Western Maryland(USA) library. She was the one who encouraged us to apply to the JET program. For a while she stayed with us before transferring to Wesleyan College Tennessee. Then, while in Japan, we visited her folks and we have become good friends with them as well.
Arriving in Japan, I spent my very first night and magnificent morning in Isahaya, at my friend’s parents’ house. Shortly after that, I left for Kitakyushu.
I will be throwing some sakura petals in the air for you, Misty.

I ran across your blog looking for cherry blossom photos. I lived in Isahaya many many years ago as an exchange student at Chinzei Gakuin/Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior College. I miss Japan so very much. I hope you enjoy your trip. Perhaps one day I can take my kids and husband to Japan. No where else on earth compares in my mind.

Comment on Portuguese Restaurant in Oberursel by Maria

I was there again last night.

The restaurant has a small-town atmosphere, too. Imagine, patrons passing our table offering a hello and goodbye every time. And we did not even know them.

The food and service were excellent again.
