Japan

Keith sent us a couple of pictures from his trip to Japan. He got back last weekend after another 15 hours in the air.

Big Shot

We went to a Big Shot concert last weekend at Penn's Peak. Hot Shot does a Billy Joel tribute concert and actually some of their members have played with Billy Joel at one time or another. Hope you enjoy the video.

Where Were You?

Where were you a year ago? Many of you that read this blog were getting ready to travel to Lancaster to join us in a weekend of celebration. Can you believe that Charlie and Kris have been married that long? I don't know about you but I should go for a Sunday Brunch at the Eden again!!!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CHARLIE AND KRIS

Enjoying Japan

Keith has been working long hours but also has had some time to enjoy his stay in Japan. Last weekend he went Snowboarding at one of the local resorts and reported that they were getting fresh powder all weekend.

He also has had some time to go shopping and managed to pick up some Pez to add to his collection. Although he had some of the Pez dispensers that he found these are on Japanese cards so they will be a nice addition to the collection. We are looking forward to seeing what he brings home with him.

Long Flight

Well Keith made it to Japan after a 14 hour flight on Japan Air Lines. He is now 14 hours ahead of us so as I write this at 10 am on Sunday it is 12 am Monday morning there. As of last night they had not been issued their cars yet so it has done no exploring but I'm sure that will come shortly. At least we know he made it safely and hope he has a great time while he is there.

Skiing And Boarding

Keith is doing some skiing and snowboarding at Snowshoe in West Virginia this week along with some friends from South Carolina. It looks like they should be enjoying excellent conditions. According to their website there has been 12 inches of new powder since Saturday and 4 inches today. We hope that we will get to see some pictures when they return home this weekend. This pictures is from a previous snowboard trip.

Let There Be Light

Finally added lights to the cabinet!

On The Road Again

Keith has been informed that he will be going to Misawa AFB in Japan for a TDY. He will be leaving around the middle of the month but has no idea how long he is going to be there. Just adds another great experience to his already long list of places he has been.

While he is there we are sure he will be doing a lot of Pez shopping. There are mini Pez that are only released in Japan and hopefully he will be able to find a lot of these little guys. It may be tough to keep in touch other than emails as Japan is 14 hours ahead of us. As I write this before noon on Sunday it is already Monday morning there. Doesn't give us much time to be in the chat rooms together.

Finally

OK So I have been really bad at keeping this page up to date. We have been really busy around here for the last month or so. Christmas came and went and it seemed like we never really stopped to enjoy it. The entire weekend we were running somewhere for another get together with family and friends.

Keith was home for two weeks and spent most of his time working on his Pez collection. His new cabinet was ready for him along with about 100 new Pez that he received for Christmas. Even after he left we still had a lot of work to to getting all the new one entered into the database we keep for him.

While all this was going on our laptop decided to burn up it's motherboard so we had to replace it and move all the files etc. to the new one. We were lucky that the Hard drive was still go and did not lose anything. We now use this old hard drive as a backup in case we have another problem.

Then yesterday the washer began to pump water out onto the floor instead of the drain. So we had to replace the water pump. Being a do-it-yourselfer type, Alan decided he could tackle this and after a few phone calls found the parts he needed. We can report that the patient has recovered and is pumping into the drain again.

We will try to be better at this and keep up with our postings better than we have over the last month.
