DETOUR

Received a letter from my very good friend Lisa who lives in Japan. She said that now is not a good time to visit. I think I quite agree with her. Although I really would like to see my mom's side of the family again.. I miss them so very much. Because of the Tsunami, there have been many aftershocks. Also because of the Tsunami, Lisa has a lot of work to do and would not be able to visit with us as she would like to. She works for Soka University as a professor and since this tragedy their opening ceremony has been pushed back to April which got everything else pushed back. She is also busy teaching correspondence courses too. Therefore we have decided to make a detour to San Diego or LA. Haven't decided which airport yet. We want to do something fun for Mimi on this trip. Of course we have to visit D-land and also we want to take her to Sea World as she has yet to go there. In the meantime I am still nesting. Doing a little shopping for the baby. Things such as formula, baby food, diapers and such. Oh, I love the bum geniuses that I got from Emily W. They look and feel wonderful. Can't wait to try them out on Mei - Lin. As I was standing in the store, it hit me like a ton of bricks........I can actually buy girly clothes!!! Unfortunately I have yet to find cute girl dresses. So far only pant sets, under garments, shoes. However I found the cute ribbons to put on her head. Will have to make a trip to North Bend for the dresses and shoes for Mimi. Ooooo this is so much fun. Dad is not walking around in a daze anymore although he did say that he is feeling nervous about the whole deal.
