Norway

Nav is back in town briefly, I was so excited to see her yesterday! We only had a short lunch, but knowing her busy schedule, I feel lucky to have had a private lunch with her! We ate sushi - her favourite.

She handed me a box wrapped in sparkly tissue paper. I opened it, and I squealed! Inside, were traditional Sølje Norwegian earrings! When I lived with Nav when we were in school together, I would always go in her room and look through her jewelry box. These earrings would always catch my eye! I asked her some years ago, if she ever goes back to Norway, could she pick me up a pair? And she remembered! I am wearing them today, Nav! Thank you!

Nav is going to do her masters of architecture in Norway this September. I wish her all the best! I am going to miss her, but it only means, I will have to visit her myself in Bergen. I looked up some images of Bergen.....it looks exactly how I imagined Norway would be!! Norway will be our next European adventure.

But before that, we must go to Asia to see my grandparents! So many places to go!

meet Spencer

He is an orphan.

I brought him home when Rosalyn brought me to a Kid Icarus show a couple of weeks ago. Eric Cheung was there with a suitcase FULL of adorable orphans! He said, that they come nameless, so Jin and I named him Spencer.

Spencer is a quiet boy. He likes to hide in my garden, and sit quietly. He also asks me to prop him up high so he can see more, because, he is not very tall (only about 6 inches high).

He blushes easily. I think he is really cute.

while you were away...

It is my neighbours turn to go on holiday, and he asked me to water his plants. Mea and Mojo came along to help me, and they decided to make themselves at home. Sometimes, I think that they would rather live at my neighbours house, than ours.

hmph.

planting mums

I get to stay at home today because it is a long weekend in Canada. It is so gloriously hot outside, and I am thoroughly enjoying it! We haven't had too many hot summer days this season, so I am soaking it up!

My entire body hurts from working on a wedding with Gabe yesterday. Planting some Mums for our planter is a slow-paced activity I can handle! We had Mums at our wedding last year, and I was surprised that Jinny remembered when I brought them home! My man really loves his flowers.

Hope you had a great weekend!
