It is a colorful celebration of the “Good Ol’ Days with petticoats, parasols, and lace as all ages of women and girls showoff their authentic period outfits and customs. Participants are judged on their authenticity in dress, which often includes antique mementos, family heirlooms, and a wide variety of delicate history. http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/album/24/Miss_Clementine Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:26:37 -0000 A housewarming present <a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1"></a><a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.inikiki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1/DSC-1750.JPG?et=6gqKXYAEIwMfOKPoLzS%2BLg&nmid=0" border="0"></a><a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1"></a><a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1"></a><a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIITiwoKCB8AADZVYjw1"></a>A friend just move to a new home. A housewarming present would be nice. That is a crappy photo of  a set of (4) fabric coasters inside a soft caddy with a lavender bird nesting on top. I didn't know she has a red theme for her kitchen, and I didn't know that she's a coasters collector. (that was a coincident) She has coaster made of ceramic, straw, and I'm sure cork too, and now she has fabric coasters. The stuffed bird has lavender in it, so it supposed to released a nice fragrance when she hangs it in her kitchen. <a href="http://inikiki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIIXRQoKCB8AAAuwwMY1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.inikiki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SIIXRQoKCB8AAAuwwMY1/DSC-1755.JPG?et=nGq4IY8uJO8ArNQBfsJt4w&nmid=0" border="0"></a>This is how it looks like...

Suami: yes, why? Istri: Do you have time to go to the Oriental Market on the way back? Suami: Sure, just give me a list. Paginya at breakfast. Suami: Thanks for breakfast. Do you have the list? Istri: ehem, the list? geez, I forgot to make it last night! Suami: that's Ok, you can email me the list to my phone later. Istri: I will sayang. The list: 1. Morning glory  (4 bunch) (nama yang kami pakai untuk menyebut kangkung), sekarang aku tahu, yang jualan menyebutnya: On Choy. Kenapa 4? Buat stok karena jarang2 turun gunung dan kalau dimasak mengkeret. 2. Kecap Bango Soy Sauce. 3. Turmeric (kunir buat bikin kunir asem). Jam 4 an sore, si suami pulang. Istri: So, you got the green veggies? Suami: Yes I did. Si istri langsung sweep the car buat unload pesanannya. (Biar kalau ketemu si sayuran, langsung bisa dimasak buat makan malam). Ternyata, the green veggies yang ditemukan bukanlah kangkung idamanya.

Well, kalau Anda-Anda ini seorang ibu dengan dua anak kecil, nggak boleh get bored dengat "rebib" (Tigerlily's word for rabbit) AKA Bunny. Kemarin aku dan kedua anakku mendengarkan CD read along Peter Rabbit read by Renee Zellweger (I almost mispelled her name...). Ohh, dia khan favoritku, sudah cantik, lucu, kalau ngomong, oh my, lembuutt. Back to Peter Rabbit, singkat cerita, ini rabbit sukanya mencuri timun...hehe, he likes to create mischief. Padahal ibunya sudah bilang jangan suka mencari makan di kebun Mr. McGreggor karena bapak mereka got caught and put in a pie . When the farmers cought Peter in the act (enjoying his veggies), berlangsunglah suatu kejar mengejar yang seru! Alright...I'm not doing well telling the complete story to you guys.

Apa kabar? Semoga semua baik-baik saja. Buat Julie, semoga Giovani cepat sembuh dan sehat. Buat jeng Hany Von Gillern, ke mana aja nih? Kok nyama-nyamain aku lama nggak cerita-cerita, hehehe. Everything is going well (still too much wok 'though) Tigerlily is making a great progress on potty training. Alistair is getting smarter, already trying to feed himself. Four teeth and more coming. We have a joke on why Tigerlily likes to “ngupil”which is very extreme that sometimes we cought her walking with her finger in her nose. <ol><li>her finger fits the nose so well! </li><li>That hole is a good place to park the finger. </li><li>It's like sticking your hand in your pocket, well, same thing. </li></ol> And here's a sneak peak on a project. I plan on making a freebie sweepstakes in the future, just for fun.

The  final drive up hill through HWY 330 to San Bernardino Mountain - Arrowhead - Running Spring - Big Bear Lake was a little eeri because of the thick fog (it was cloud!) with almost 0 visibility...actually we had about 15 yard visibility starting from Arrowhead to The Dam (Big Bear Lake) causing an extra hour drive. Normally, we can drive this winding road for 1 hour but last night was an exception. However, we are so glad to be home again. We like travelling, especially after having a severe cabin fever from being living in  the wood, far from what so callled real civilization with those retail stores and fast food restaurants in every corner... (or..is that?). And the three kitties (Jean-Pierre, Nicole, and Blondie) and our big smart dog (Fluffy) are doing great. Our neighbor William and Kelly  been checking on them.

Because Kip had to go to other town name Mariposa (31 mile from El Portal) to get his e-mail. We're back to Stockton a day early than what we've planned because we needed to take Tigerlily to the doctor since she has sore throat, and doesn't want to eat. She drink Pediasure and apple juice a lot 'though , so she keeps hydrate. Now she needs to take antibiotic for 5 days. Alistair is doing great, but last night he's a little warm too and I gave him Tylenol. Actually we rarely take any medicine unless we really need to, so once we take it, it really works. Yosemite is very beautiful. Kip was being a good daddy and baby sitter for 3 days while I went out to do my photography workshop and took many photos used all of my 6 GB card.All of those granites, bear, rivers, waterfalls. All the photos already transfered in the computer but I can't process it yet yet since I shoot RAW, not JPEG.

We arrived on May 13 after 7 hour drive with one stop for lunch at Burger King (oh, this burger thing is soo convinient for a quick lunch on the go) near Tehachepi area, one  in Tulare for gas ($3.90 per gallon), and one stop in Office Max in Modesto to get more memory card for the blackberry and construction papers to play with the babies. We immediately went down to the restaurant inside the Hotel for dinner. Along HWY 58 and 99N, we saw orchards and grapevines. See, California still does agriculture...fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in fact it has 1/2 of the production in the country.(I read it somehwere..). We passed the windmill farm in Bakersfield and Tehachepi. We stopped and took some picture (actually my husband did, because I had to nurse Alistair).
