Raspberry Picking

Over the weekend Mom and I picked seven pounds of raspberries to make freezer jam. I've been enjoying the extras with whipped cream.

Twenty Seven Hour Flight Delay

I've been in Japan for almost a week. I should have been here longer, but my flight was delayed leaving me stuck at the airport for 27 hours. I was given a hotel room overnight, but this is how I passed the time at the airport:
I watched the fountain
and watched the birds
used extra food vouchers to 'buy' instant coffee
got a manicure
watched the plane engine being repaired
After 25 hours we finally got on the plane, which was almost empty since most people had given up on waiting and taken other flights
On the runway we were forced to go back to the gate for further repairs, but at the gate I convinced a flight attendant to get me cup of wine.
