Lovely to be reminded of the Zelkova trees on Omotesando. I look for them as I drive around Portland -- they are all over the parking lot at Washington Park, and they seem to be getting more popular as a street tree. love and hugs, JulieJulieJrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104114149958401717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-14149927601344357022012-01-01T10:55:52.301-08:002012-01-01T10:55:52.301-08:00What a busy Christmas you had with many many thing...What a busy Christmas you had with many many things to do. The pictures of all the lights are beautiful, giving a feeling of peace even though you were rushing around from one end of the city to another. I hope all the choir singing went well, the gifts were all enjoyed and it sounds like, the the last bit, that all the food was enjoyed as well.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />Elizabeth E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-53139664868184698642011-12-29T03:54:04.559-08:002011-12-29T03:54:04.559-08:00Love all the pictures, the writings on it, the lig...Love all the pictures, the writings on it, the lights on the streets!

I can see why everyone wants pictures taken there... beautiful!<br /><br />Love the pic of you with your "assistant." It's usually the critters who sit nicely for a photo, and not our little ones. A lovely photo!<br /><br />May the rest of your 2011 be filled with peace and quiet and yes, even leftovers... and a bit of quilting. <br />Looking forward to 2012.<br /><br />All my best,<br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-71998865767977687322011-12-28T05:57:57.284-08:002011-12-28T05:57:57.284-08:00I do agree with you about the peace and quiet foll...I do agree with you about the peace and quiet following Christmas, all the more enjoyable because of the preceeding hectic period. The fridge is full of ready to eat food too which is good.

We couldn't have afforded it if they all came - good grief beef is high right now! They day after when another of the children (and family) came we cooked both chili and corn/potato chowder. When everyone left yesterday, including hubby to the deer camp, I made them take every scrap of food that was left. I've eaten so much that I'm sure I won't want to eat again until Valentine's Day. Well, maybe a bit before then. :) I have three days alone now and what wonderful quiet after the chaos of children, dogs, tossed aside wrapping paper, etc. I have to get out for a couple of things tomorrow but for today I'm going to hide in my house and sew! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-18602629295668848452011-12-28T03:56:09.092-08:002011-12-28T03:56:09.092-08:00Julie,

You had a long day!!!!!<br />We went to mass on Christmas Eve night and brought my Dad. Afterwards we all got into our pyjamas and we do a secret santa small gift between us (including the dog and cat) and we are allowed open these before we go to bed so that Santa can visit. That is my favourite part of Christmas as it is the quietest in the house.Linda Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237814808718596681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-52681408999003308572011-12-27T20:25:05.053-08:002011-12-27T20:25:05.053-08:00Goodness!

Like you, things are wild around Christmas (but I do not get up at 3:30 in the morning.)<br /><br />As one of the three yakuin at our church I was out shopping and planning and leading worship (I dislike that job. Forgive me Lord.) and buying presents etc. Yes, it is nice when all the jobs have been completed. I want to go do some quilting too today!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-19702510694121839952011-12-26T10:41:05.517-08:002011-12-26T10:41:05.517-08:00The beautiful lights of Omotesando...and the mochi...The beautiful lights of Omotesando...and the mochi making and preparing for the New Year...just seeing the bicycle in the one photo brings back wonderful memories of Japan.<br /><br />Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!MQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055414902228765068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-27364178558961305832011-12-26T10:16:03.686-08:002011-12-26T10:16:03.686-08:00good grief!!
