Sad day. My parents are flying back to the US right now. Ana is none too pleased with those “left behind,” ie the Mommy and Papa who formerly delighted but now simply annoy and frustrate her.

As a parting gift from the island, my mother got food poisoning last Wednesday night. I also partook of the tainted fish (we think it was fish) and am just now able to hold and feed Ana. Whew. Fun times were NOT had at the end of this visit. On a brighter note, the morning sickness is nothing in comparison, so I should count myself lucky. And I do!

My in-laws, Jim and Sandi, will be arriving in Okinawa on Thursday! It will be good to have them in town.

Ana just woke up — hope she’s in a better mood!
