rocks, fossils and vases

Over the years, I have collected rocks and fossils. I've kept 9 rocks, two fossils and one arrowhead. I got the fossils while hiking in California with my husband. I have two small vases that I picked up in Japan. They are less than an inch (2.5 cm) high.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
