Life: July 2003 Archives

These pictures are from last friday when we went to get Ivy at the Human Rescue Society.

The above picture is a wonderful sandwich that my wife, Yuko made for me. I wasn't planning to have lunch, but she was so thoughtful.

This is a picture of me standing out in front of the Northwoods Humane Soceity. I am in my work "getup."

Well the day as finally arrived. Ivy is in her new hone, our house. She is a very happy active kitty.

Yuko took this picture of me as we were headed back to our apartment in the 'hood. I have since shaved off my goatee at the wishing of my wife. It was a very sunny day as you can see from the photo. We were hot and sweating from the heat and we were forced to drive with the windows down. The A/C in the blue pea splitter is broken and I refuse to spend the cash to get it fixed.

Here is a pic of my dad and my neice Jillian we took last weekend.

Tomorrow is a big day for Yuko and I. We will find out if we can get our new kitten, Ivy. Yesterday we went to the Northwoods Humane Society to see if they had any suittable kittens and we fell in love with a grey and white tabbty. We had just visited the cute city of Taylor's Falls.

We will find out if we can adopt Ivy as soon as they call to make sure we can have a cat at our apartment, which will be tomorrow!!!

We went to the new Tanpopo Location tonight. I have to say that it is very different in a good way. There is lots of space and I love the food. Yuko says that their soup base is from the Tokyo area and is very different than the one she normally has in Osaka. Please check out my review here.

I of course went for the Saba Teishoko and Yuko had Tenpura Udon with shrimp.

Yuko and I just got back from the wilds of Iowa and the family. We both had a great time! It is nice to see the folk and bothers and sisters. I have pictures to show all of you and I will do so tomorrow as I am tired.....

Well tonight I am so tired. I ahve cleaned the place and now I wait. It will be quiet here for a couple of days. So please cruise the Gallery, or the archives and I will be back at ya on Sunday night or Monday. I am headed to Des Moines with Yuko to see the family.

Tonight is the white tornado cleaning night. This is what my mom used to tell my when we would wait until the last minute to tiddy up. Yuko is on the way here from Japan as she has gotten the visa.

I have been busy tonight getting ready to send out invitations to our wedding reception here in the US. It isn't going to be a formal affair, but hopefully we will have fun in the heart of corn country.

Here is a Preview....
