Thank you. D
5 years agoPerfect! We could have just gone out for steamed buns, but we thought this might appeal to you more while you convalesce.
5 years agoReally looks yummy. I am drooling just looking at the food. Dodie.

I know. I almost mentioned that. It took a lot of self restraint to not reach over and give the bar a small push.
5 years agoSort of, at least appearance wise. They’re quite a bit smaller though. I was surprised to see that they’re a close relative of robins.
5 years agoWow - what a great post!
The high temp in Centennial today is 18F and that heated toilet seat sounds mighty fine. Wish we could join you for a kink-free CycleBlaze reunion at your suite. Very cool place!
And love the videos of the kids passing Team Anderson and the trash collection. What a pleasant tune they have to let people know bring their refuse to the curb. I will now think of trash day as a happy event!
My only disappointment with this post is that you didn't include a photo of the tastefully arranged cigarette butts and litter.
Butt (ha!), then, maybe that's an image better left for the imagination.
Oh how I would love to hear the sound this makes!

Agreed
5 years agoGood for you! Knowing what you want to do and when is important and I imagine will be something that will happen from time to time. The freedom to travel at will is wonderful, but being in a familiar setting with loved ones is also important. It's all about balance, I guess! And Portland is just such an awesome city to spend time in. Enjoy your last bit of time in Taiwan!
5 years agoOh, of course. I should have shimmied up and placed it on one of the lower branches. I could of course, but it would be so embarrassing to get arrested when I can’t speak the local language.
5 years agoGreat decision! If you don't feel like continuing, then stop. Easier said than done, though, because you don't want to see yourself as a quitter. That applies to me, anyway. Besides, you're not quitting, you're taking a well deserved break.
I've loved your pictures and writing and energy. You two are fantastic.
"Lard Up"- ha ha!
