How I met Snickerdoodle MacBear is in Cleveland

When Nonna came to visit in late September 2007 she brought Snicks with her – fresh from his adventures in Australia with Tiddilywinks.
Over the next few weeks we went shopping in Osaka, on a boat cruise in Kobe and temple-hopping and geisha-spotting in Kyoto. There was even an encounter with a tanuki (racoon dog) to spice things up!
I had so much fun with Snicks and wish him all the best on his future adventures.

A story about ume

I like how I always know what ume is doing or has done thanks to what she has changed her name to at any one time. ;-)

A question I have about ume

I would like to know if she wants to write an illustrated book, with photos that she took herself. Because that would be a fine combination!

Why I admire ume

She is a writer, and being one myself, I know the passion and the frustration of that state of mind and artistic pursuit! The trick is simple—to keep at it, no matter how confused things might get along the way. :-)

Why I want to meet ume

Umeboshibaby is a fun loving, intelligent, wonderful person! Giving of advice and great conversation! Great at cheer volleyball. Her list of goals is wide in variety and shows great balance in life! She makes me want to keep chugging away at my goals!!!

Why I want to meet ume

After reading Umeboshibaby’s goals I have been inspired to get back on track on some things. Including reading some more books (instead of watching crappy TV). Glad I read the reviews that were given. I am going to try one…

A story about ume

Today I had 6 cheers and I gave them all to Umeboshibaby. She is the most active person on my list of people. Every day there is some 43 Thing to check out on Umeboshibaby’s page. The main goal of hers is to finish the book this year. So I don’t know how she will have time to do all that other stuff, like oil paintings and the like. (read 50 books, take two rolls of film a month)
Umeboshibaby – How many hours are there in your days?
Can’t wait to hear that the book is finished. By the way, could you drop the hint that I’m going to have to drop the goal of entering the British Film Contest again. This year at least.

A question I have about ume

How did she get the flickr images to show in her sidebar? They are gorgeous photos. I signed up for a flickr account but that is as far as I got.

Why I admire ume

Her page on 43things is incredible…writing a novel, reading great books, taking beautiful photos, and living in a Japan. What a life!

200 Cheers to you, Umeboshibaby!

Why I want to meet ume

Anyone who knows about this island, i can’t even pronounce, and i didn’t know about, i would like to meet. It would be an honor, and i think too, a pleasure.

Mr. Umeboshibaby-san;
I wish you good health and happiness.
