Nothing special

Steve and I had planned on moving Grandpa in to live with us in June or July. Terri wants to try to keep him at home a little longer by increasing Yu Ai Kai senior day care up to 5 days per week. If he comes to live with us he would go to senior day care and about 3 times per year we would either send him to stay with one of his kids or ask someone if they can fly out here to stay with him for 1-2 weeks. I think he will eventually come to Minnesota, I guess it is just a question of when.

Steve's sister is in a coma and expected to die today.

We leave for Egypt in a week and a half, maybe. I'll post pictures if we make it.

An unknown poem in one of Grandma's scrapbooks

Oh, it's easy to be a starter
But are you a sticker, too?
'Tis fun, sometimes, to begin a thing,
But harder to see it through.

And sometimes failure is best
To keep you from being too sure;
Success that is built on defeat, you know,
Will oftentimes longest endure.

'Tis the sticker who wins in the battle of Life,
While the quitter is lain on the shelf;
You are never defeated, remember this,
Until you lose faith in yourself

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures from my camera today, and ran across this one. I'm sure you all have a copy of it.. i think I took it over the shoulder of 4-5 others.. but I thought I'd share it.

Hope you all have a nice Easter break!

Auntie Alice as Geisha girl

When we up in San Jose Auntie Alice told me that she had worked for RKO studios in the 50s doing film promotion as a Geisha Girl and that Jennifer might have some copies of them. Jennifer uploaded these pictures (there are more on facebook.) She said she might have some articles that say what movie was too. Thought you might like to see them.

Here's the beginning of my hummingbird painting.  Esteban had a great idea to go out and photograph hummingbirds and do paintings of them.  The painting is far from finished, but now that I'm feeling a little better, the school work is piling up and it's back to chaos as usual.  I will, however, remember to slow down and enjoy a bit slower paced life...for a bit at least.

It was good to see you all despite the circumstance.  Now we have Sierra's wedding to look forward to for our next big get-together and thankfully that's gonna be one of pure fun and awesomeness.
