Stream Cleanup Community Service

20111112-204450.jpg

Today my Korean Language group did our community service project for the year.  We have adopted a stream and there was so much stuff in there that definitely shouldn’t have been, such as a mattress, about 10 shopping carts, tires, 5 bikes, trash, plastic bags, pipes, an air conditioning unit, trash, etc . . . the mattress was the worst because it was water logged – thank goodness it wasn’t a king size.  It feels good to do something for the city, but glad we are required to do it 1x a year.  ^^  Time for some well earned rest!

Veterans Day and Happy Pepero Day

20111112-003028.jpg Today was Veterans Day, so I called my husbands grandad to say Happy Veterans Day.  Thank you to all who served.

Today was also Pepero Day, which falls on every November 11th.  Today was even DOUBLE Pepero Day, being 11/11/11 ^^

Pepero are slender stick cookies dipped in chocolate.  Some are dipped in chocolate and almonds, and there are other variations.  Today my friend gave me a special Hello Kitty version of Pepero – in Japan, they are called Pocky sticks.

Pizza, Fright Night, Phone Call

On Wednesday, I met a friend to get pizza after my language study, and then we went to see the movie ‘Fright Night’. It was amusing and just as bad/good as the original, though a little different, same story line mostly.

I also talked with my Omma . . . my sister’s birthday is coming up and I sent her a Birthday box, which had arrived a few days ago.  She really really really liked it, and appreciated that I thought of her.   ^^

Dad Update

The chemo medication my dad is on was making his feet so sore, he couldn’t walk yesterday, so my parents went to the doctor today and they took him off the medication temporarily. He will restart when his feet are less sore, and he will take a lesser dosage.

Happy Halloween!

토요일 밤에 개리와 나는 할로윈 파티를 갔어요. 저는 고양이 였어요. 친구들과 우리는 벽난로 옆에 둘러앉았어요.

20111031-202700.jpgOn Saturday, Gary and I went to our friends house for a Halloween party. I was a cat, and Gary was a mobster (pinstripe, hat, whit shirt, black tie). We had dinner outside around the fire pit and had fun hanging out.

On Sunday, we met some of our other friends for a picnic/cookout at the lake.
