We had a great trip to Victoria. Our daughter Hanna was able to join us to visit her brother and sister-in-law. About all I really wanted to post tonight was the photos we took of each other drinking bubble tea in Chinatown. I’ll try and catch more highlights in the next couple days.

Last weekend, my husband and I took the three oldest grandgirls camping for four nights. We left the 6-month-old at home with her parents! Here we are (below) ready to head off on our adventure. You’ll notice heavy smoke in the photo above. We don’t have any forest fires at a close, threatening distance to…
If you have folks on your gift-list who are young or young-at-heart, may I suggest you stop by my very talented daughter’s Etsy shop, Leaflette? She has additional information–more photos and a coupon code–on her blog, Hanna’s Life is Cool. If you’re not familiar with her art (not sure how that could’ve happened, being as…
Some things are so totally not worth it. We decided to drive to a city two hours away for our anniversary dinner. It would give us time to talk, do a little shopping, and have a nice meal somewhere we don’t exactly frequent. I’d made up my mind that, having lost 30 pounds in the…
In an effort to create a full feature website at Where the Map Ends, Jeff Gerke has included interviews with various authors, a few short stories, and a writer’s tool-kit. He says that forums are coming soon–a place where I’m sure I’ll want to hang out. He is waiting for demand, he says, so put…
Many of you have *met* my daughter Hanna online at Hanna’s Life is Cool. A couple of months ago, my daughter-in-law began blogging at Inside a Student’s Head. If you are curious what goes on at the University of Victoria–and what an environmentally and politically aware student thinks of it all–pop on over and say…
I spent a few days earlier this week visiting my sister and her family, who live near Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Here are a few of the highlights of the trip thus far. We went for a walk at a lakeside state park near Milwaukee, and this gull posed for me. I snapped a bunch…

What is bubble tea? (It sounds intriguing!)
Linda
Ah, good question Linda. (And it proves I shouldn’t post when I’m THAT tired…) Bubble tea is an oriental drink made with tea, fruit juice, and tapioca. It can be made with various types of tea, and many combinations of juices. The black tapioca (which I have to admit sounds disgusting!) is mostly mushy but chewy and comes up through the extra thick straw. You can also get the tea with pineapple or coconut jellies (which my girls tried) instead of the tapioca. Check out http://bubbletea.ca
A drink worth trying at a Chinatown near you…
