5 Year Wedding Anniversary!! :)

I've been trying to edit this.  I can't make it regular text.  :(  I'll try tomorrow. 

Schwinn Airdyne

New excercise bike!! Yea. :) I have been dropping lots of hints that I wanted one. Then lately not so subtle. But my wonderful hubby came through with it. It was from the BX, and was the only one. The challenge was getting it home. He got the help of a friend with a truck. I got on it within 30 minutes of getting. Now, the main concern is getting used to the seat. Because it was hurting my bum right away. The wheel is a fan, so it is cooling as I pedal. Funny, last night Berto was watching Ultimate fighting, they showed the same bike in their gym!! Ha-ha.

I have been on it off and on so far today. I'm first going to go by minutes, without stopping. I have been able to add more minutes each time. After that I will focus on the miles. I have gone about 15 miles so far today. The arm bars do move and helps to work out your upper body. I did feel some soreness when I woke up this morning.

Happy early 5 year anniversary to me!! I'm hoping Berto will use it as well.

Wow, I think this  click-able link actually works!!  Thanks Lils, I learned something today.  :)

Noren curtain

We found this Noren curtain in Tokyo.  They are usually used at store or restaurant entrances to indicate that they are open for business.  They typically are shorter and say welcome in Japanese.  We fell in love with this one and it is hanging on door to Berto's "men's den".  We really want to try to find another to hang on spare room door, a geisha would be perfect.  It looks nice at night when the light is turned on, the warrior looks like he is glowing. 

I also have a cute collection of the kokeshi dolls, I love them!!  Those 2 are the lastest ones.  We actually got those on base at the BX.  They have vendors there all the time selling their goods.  The lady saw me eying the girl, and handed me the male because they matched!!  Good salesmanship!  

Sorry to have missed a couple of calls lately!!  For some reason, we kept getting strange calls and spam messages.  I need to check and see why this is happening.  So, we need to call M-O-M and Berto's mami.  

Our house--Facebook pics

 Most of us are on Facebook these days.  This is an album of our home in Japan.  Random pics.

Still learning how to add a link on here.  Sorry it's not clickable!  You need to copy/paste.  Again, I don't like this blog site, I'm trying at least.

EDITED.  Thanks Lils, for the help on links.  But I think  now the link itself is wrong.  ;)

April 26th-- GRILL, BABY!!

Wow, just able to log in to blog from computer.  I have had a horrible time, it always shows the site in Japanese, and makes me want to leave. it. alone.  !!


This past weekend my wonderful hubby put our grill together!!  Woooo!!  We have never had a full size grill before.  We had a small tail-gater, George Foreman grill in Virginia.  I'm pretty excited to see what we come up with!!  I'm thinking lots of kabobs, steak, SHRIMP, fish and chicken.  Mmmmm  :)  The possibilities are endless...

We have a new batch of fun stuff to do, mostly the ITT tours we go on.  There is a baseball game in Sendai, a cherry blossom festival next week,  Kabuki theater, and  Cirque de Soleil!!  :)

Check out my Flickr!!

I upgraded my Flickr account to pro. I was always finding that I reached the limit too quickly, now I can upload unlimited pics and video. I added almost 300 pics to Flickr. I am still adding descriptions though. But for now if you go to bottom of this page, you can view my Flickr photostream. :)

Beautiful flowers Berto gave me from Tokyo. Glad they survived and bloomed after that long bus ride!!
