I got tagged...by Keohinani
i don't actually know what the questions are, so I'll just guess from the answers.

-----------------------------------------------
ten years ago: i was 44. let's see...I had just moved to of all places, Kaohinani Drive! I was till working at my job as Family Practioner, but I was at the Mililani clinic. I was doing a lot more quilting and sewing back then. I made a lot of book covers, then a family of rabbits and finished a picture quilt and my Totoro Quilt. The Totoro quilt was a group effort. 8 of us met every 6 weeks and made squares for each other's quilts. We made a ninth block for our own quilt and finished it. It was a good introduction to applique and hand quilting.

five years ago: i was 49. i was now working in Kaneohe, just a twelve minute drive from my home. What a difference that made. I started back knitting again and bought an Incredible Sweater machine. I used it mostly for making Christmas stockings.

Hey, you!! You're back!!! Good to see you online again!! How was your trip? OMG, I didn't know ANYONE else who watched Yoshitsune, so I was a total closet fan until now! LOVE it, LOVE Takizawa Hideaki, soo handsome, but *ahem* a little too young for me. Did you watch Shinsengumi, too? I bawled my eyes out for weeks on that one. Great to have you back!

Hi! I didn't watch Shinsengumi, but have watched many other NHK Taiga dramas. Takizawa Hedeaki is very cute (and the same age as my son, yikes!) I think he is a vocal artist as well.
I will post stuff about my really great trip after I recover from the jet lag! No place like home. For now I'm enjoying catching up on the blogs.
