Price Check on Apples

O.k. I know that prices all over are jumping skyward. My cousin Elisheba's told me that the gas in England is over $10 a gallon. The tomatoes are $5 a lb. Anyways, I went to the grocery store today, and they were out of seedless grapes, which they only had them for a couple days since we have been here, anyways that is not the point of the story. I bought four apples. How much do you think four apples should cost? Surely not over a couple dollars. Try $8.50. Can you believe it? I can't but I paid for it.

Love, Desiree

Boys Favorite Song

My boys are the cutest. They have a song they call the Mickey Mouse song. In the morning, or whenever they choose, they ask "Mommy, can you put the Mickey Mouse song on?" Then they dance like crazy all over the house. Jr. has this special kick move he likes to do. Can you guys guess the actual song? The boys love Mickey by Toni Basil. Yes that is the one.

Katsuren Castle

This is our first Japanese Castle. We were pretty excited about it.

It looks over a wide area and is in the middle of a jungle type area.

It was steamy hot because it had just rained and then the sun came halfway back out and the water was back up in our faces for a second time.

We love it. Virginia will never seem hot again.

Blast from the Past!


Hey, who remembers Saturday morning wrestling? Or I should say, 'Who doesn't?!' "Let's have some get down good times with the Dog, Arf-Arf!!!" Much to my surprise, and pleasure, I found this burger place. It's not that great and not that bad, but with a spokesman like this, how could it fail?!
