Japanese Free Time....

It's always time to go to the beach!  I crave the beach!!  I didn't pick this up the first time... And my friends brought it back to me!!



Another friend and I went to cocoa's for lunch.  I had a hamburger steak with gravy and an egg with veggies and chicken... I love that they have a doorbell to call the waitress!!


I fell in love with this strawberry latte!  It's like a warm, frothy cup of nesquik strawberry milk!  It was so good!!!!


This was another trip to the beach. 


Nic had decades day at school, she chose the 80's!


Later that night I had an 80's night for OSC!


With a different kind of competitive bowling!  We had specific tasks to complete on each frame!


That night we got another batch of snow... Almost 20"!!!


Then came the task of digging out the cars...


And by the time we were done, they announced on AFN that only essential staff had to go in..,


So doc finished plowing out area!  In an ombré style!


Saturday we went to the beach AGAIN!  Told ya I love it there!!!


More treasures!


Tink doesn't like her toys attacking her..,.


That night we went to this delicious steakhouse!  The grill was on the table we sat at!  


2 types of steak.... Japanese and Australian, plus shrimp.  


And they made our dessert right in front of us!  


It was ice cream inside the rice paper, or whatever it was!  It was crispy and creamy and hot and cold!  It was delicious!


Doc and I got to go on a cappuccino date yesterday. 


Then a lunch date at the golf course!



And he took me to some thrift shops...


And today we got to go out for lunch again!


And dessert!


And then to the beach!


I ❤️ doc!!

Tink, Mustache March, and Beach Combing

Tink is a trooper.   She leaps through the snow like a gazelle... And plows through it like a lawn mower.... 


And comes back to me looking like this!!


Nicole was throwing snowballs at the icicles to make them fall... I got out of they way quick!!


Tink can't find her favorite spot from yesterday!


And she has to muster up the courage to  dive into it!


She's so fluffy I can't stand it!


Doc gave her a haircut... She looked like a sheepdog for a little while...


And she's so cute now, isn't she?  She had a moustache..


(And an old man's sweater!!)


I had a moustache!


And doc has a moustache!  Gotta work on getting one for nic!


I've retreated to the beach quite a bit lately... I LOVE the beach!


The beach and snow!!
Tink photobombed my pic...

So I took it again!!


Tink loved the beach, too.


This is the jetty... I had to carry tink.


That was a surfer... In these cold, March waters!!


I found a yellow piece of sea glass... Never seen one of those before....


And the next day I found an orange piece!!


I love beach combing!

I love Japan!!

Happenin's Around Here...

I love this place (everyone calls it Cheese Roll.... Cause they make these awesome cheese rolls!!). But I'm always amused by how many cats love this place, too!!!  


Tink has some problems...


And they crack me up!!


At Kappa sushi... We saw steak!  I think it was a hamburger... Sushi style... 



This was a partial spot... I backed in ONTO that pile of snow!!


Mardi Gras party!


See?  It really is me!



Doc and his friends bottled their beer..... It tasted great!  (There was about a cup leftover, it has great taste, just waiting for the carbonation!!) 


Kampai!!


Another dump of snow.... It was beautiful!


And hard work!


nic is beautiful... Time to put her in that cage my dad was always talking about!


Tink is just a furry little ewok!


Look at these funny icicles!  



I LOVE the beach!  I plan to be there a LOT this spring and summer!




On the way home from the beach, I found these awesome snacks... Instead of apple chips, they're peach chips!  They're delicious!!


I also need to find this so-called pudding factory!


'Cute' signs?


I ventured into a Japanese grocery store to pick up something for dinner... This stir fry was delicious!!!


Yum!!!


And doc got a haircut.... With an Audrey Hepburn cover!!


Apparently strawberry plus melon flavor equals watermelon here in Japan!!  Doesn't matter, it was good!!!


I've been decorating my house.... With obis!  Oh, I love Japan!!
