Did I enjoy the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver or what!?

I watched in awe some events/performances/competitions.  In particular, I fell in love with the game of Ice Hockey again and was impressed with Ryan Miller, US team goaltender from the Buffalo Sabres.  What a remarkable effort he showed us during the game.  My man!  Too bad that US team lost in overtime.  However, Ryan was awarded MVP, Most Valuable Player, for his effort and this made me feel better.  It was that special.  His effort, that is. 

Yu Na was just so great.  She has something special which you can’t teach but you have to be born with.  Her graceful movements, her arms never seemed to be idling.  There, with grace, lots of practice behind the scenes, she never showed “sweating it,” nor that “I-am-trying” face.  She is a natural and super-gifted skater.  She was beautiful.The short February felt ever so short this year but with much excitement.  I am so fortunate to enjoy the Games.  Thank you, thank you!

Come back to the reality now.  I am gradually working my way to the closure of AZABU-YA. I may take a little longer time in preparing shipments and I apologize in advance for it.  My granddaughter, Bella, can sit through dinner at the restaurant and she is completely off diapers.  Very independent as usual and dresses the way she pleases every day which is quite interesting and colorful...! She is also into wearing Tutu and Butterfly Wing.  ???   Now, we are hoping to let her try her way at an early age and then graduate from it…., will work?  You think?

Have a great March!
