On the Shin Kobe Ropeway
You know how sometimes you have to ditch the husband and kids and just take off for foreign countries? Well, that is how awesome I am.
I’m in Kobe Japan with my sister Anne… I traveled all by myself and it is awesome. Anne has been here for a year and a half and I knew I needed to get over to see her life while she was still living it in this locale. This was the right time to go, while the kids didn’t have much going on and could safely be sequestered at their grandparents’ houses (Thanks Mom and Dad & Dennis and Sue!). I have had some pangs of guilt, but not many when I think of them having the time of their lives being all spoiled and entertained in the country. Inez is probably being licked by a dog right now. Scratch that. It’s 1 am Oregon time, so that baby had better be sleeping!
Anyway, I don’t intend to be updating this blog much while I am here, but I did want to let people know where I am. Eating awesome food! Chatting non-stop with my little sister! Going running with Kobe Hash Hound Harriers! In Freakin’ Japan!

The continent is struggling along without you. I am planning to eat Japanese food for dinner all this week to honor you.

Don’t I look good in the dress that Lynn didn’t buy?

You’re right, Inez regularly giggled her way through various tongue washings and she does scream in absolute anguish over lamb leaving her grip. About the waking up 2 to 3 times during the night I really don’t know….. maybe we had better get our hearing checked again…. the kids looked fairly relaxed in the morning so I guess we didn’t miss anything by not waking up!

Hi Ingrid,
Your trip sounds fantastic. I hope you have a great time. I was excited to see that you are going to be in the tour de coop. We are working on a coop and have 3 baby chickens in our kitchen. I enjoyed reading all the great stories. Hopefully we will make it to the tour. Have a great summer!
