Whew! So much has happened, just in the last hour, that I am dizzy.
Jim and I returned home from a Master Class to hear a message from Greg saying that Travelocity has tickets to Japan for about $400 round trip. So Jim and I both have bought tickets from Portland to Tokyo during Jim's spring break. So exciting. We hadn't seen anything under $1000 per person, so this is most wonderful. We will visit Greg and Samantha from March 23, I think , through April 4. The first trip to Asia for Jim and me.
Kate's spring break is 3 weeks earlier. So she will take advantage of these prices, too (though it's more like $800 round trip since she'll be leaving from Boston). March will be a busy month for Greg and Sam.
The other exciting thing this weekend is just watching the activity outside our kitchen and dining area windows. Dozens of chickadees and red-breasted nuthatches are very, very active from about 9 till 11 am. We have a plastic "house" filled with sunflower sees, mounted with suction cups on our dining room window, and this is a great attraction for the birdies. The competition is very stiff. Nuthatches, with narrow white bands at their eyes, chase away cute little Chicadees, who are very round with round patches of white at their eyes. SO CUTE! I think the 2 species are related. But they are fiercely opposed when it comes to getting the most sunflower seeds. It is amazing how much I enjoy watching this.
I hope everyone can feel the excitement!! Love to everyone. Maureen
