Mind the Gap, please

So I have not posted in what, two weeks? Sorry. Thanks for the nice comments, though. We've been busy. Well, I've been busy. My family and I have traveling (with Gris-Gris, of course). The first destination was London, England. I had to ride the 'Tube' quite a bit, so writing this title makes some amount of sense to me. We did your typical tourist-y stuff; visited the Tower of London, went to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace... went on a bus tour, saw the Tate Gallery of Modern art. Lots of stuff. My brain is malfunctioning, so I can't quite remember what else we did. But London was cool.! Next we took a train to Paris... and did the tourist-y stuff there; visited the Eiffel Tower, l'Arc de Triomphe, Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre, etc., etc. I'm going to try not to ramble and wrap this post up.

P.S. These are pictures from my trip. Top to bottom: A desert from a little cafe in Paris, Gris in front of the Eiffel Tower, a Double-Decker bus in London. (I just couldn't resist taking a picture!)

Poems and Updates

I haven't posted for awhile.. :P I'd say I'm busy, but I don't think playing on http://www.buildabearville.com/ counts as 'busy'. I'm a bit of a sucker for cute toys.. Well aside from that- Yesterday my mom, my sister and I went uniform shopping. I ended up getting several polo shirts, three pairs of pants, two kilts, a blouse, socks... a sweater... the list goes on. My sister got a new sweater, 'cause the sleeves became too short on hers, and more polo shirts. Then we picked up my friend for a sleepover, so I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. Which probably wasn't too smart. Then today we started the 'Marathon Doctors' appointments'. And now I've run out of things to talk about. Maybe... Oh yes, and I still have a bunch of poems to post.

Haikus

Pale autumn sunlight

Shines through tall maple branches

Gently shedding leaves

Winter winds, whipping

Cold, white, frosty snowflakes fall

Storms of ice, swirling

Scars slice 'cross his face

Ancient battles remembered

..lost old warrior

From Seasons long passed

Branches, once young, now withered

The wise old Oak tree

A few haikus for you to ponder.. they aren't all that good, though. I'll try and post once a week, an comment on my readers' blogs (a.k.a. you), but I can't really make any guarantees, since I'll be traveling for the next while or so. I can't promise pictures on my posts abroad, either.

P.S. If you're wondering, I'm bringing Nicki and Ruthie if I can bring two dolls. Otherwise you might see alot more of Gris than you already see.
