The Unwelcome Visitor and Swimsuits/招かれない客と水着

So we are back to blogging from our "Ocean Lounge" and I have a huge bug behind me that is on the move so I am going to make this super quick...man the waves are crashing beautifully outside right now...must be the full moon...Anna is upstairs with Madison finishing our curry for dinner tonight so that is another reason to make this quick...but seriously the bug is huge, some sort of beetle or something...freaky!!
ま たインターネットを無くした僕達は2階にあるオーシャンラウンジからのブログ書きです...でも後ろに巨大な無視がうろついているので今日は急いで... 今夜は満月かな、波がでかい!アンナとマディソンはアパートで夕ご飯のカレーの準備中です:)だから、急いで戻るぞー!

So speaking of freaky...yesterday we noticed a bird flying past our window and landing on a neighbors balcony...that's weird we thought and then Anna said that I better close the bathroom window (as we have full length windows that we always leave wide open for the breezes) and I thought to myself what does that crow want with a window sill when it can have a balcony...well I was wrong and not two minutes later we here this loud cawing and Ellie is barking at the bathroom window so we investigate and see the crow staring right back at us...well we freak out and I am like can I throw a pillow will it fly out and not in and so I did and it flew out and I then took my lovely wife's advice and we shut down the place...we then proceeded to watch that crow come back many times and visit our closed window...so we took pictures of course...come to find out our neighbor who has lived in the building for 12 years said that that has never happened before...so we are back to leaving our windows open and hoping we don't return to an unwelcome visitor someday!!
変な物と言えば...昨日窓の外を変な泣き声がする鳥が通ったと思ったら隣の人のベランダの端に止まった奇妙 なカラス...(家には窓際の壁は全部窓だからいつも全開して風邪の通りを良くし涼しく暮らしているんです。)アンナが窓閉めた方が良いんじゃないと言っ たにも関わらず、入って来る分けないと窓を開けたままにしていたら、案の定トイレの窓の直ぐ外に止まったらしくエリーが警戒して吠え始めさあ困った!こっ ちをジーッと見ていたカラスがそれよりアパートに入って来ないように枕を投げてなんとか追い返し、アンナの言った通りに全部の窓を閉めてそれから何度か 戻って来たカラスの写真をブログ用に撮って置きました...後で12年間隣の部屋に住んでいた人に聞いたらカラスが窓の外に来た事なんて初めてらしい、だ から免れない客がもう2度と戻って来ない事を願いながら窓全開の日々に戻ったクライン家です。

Much freakier in person!!
まじかでいる方がもっとキモイ!!

Second, since we are in the pool everyday and it was the end of season clearance sales even in California Madison now has a collection of bathing suits which we will show to you now...
次のトピック、ここに住み始めてからほとんど毎日プールに行く機会があるの で、季節末のセールを使ってマディソンに沢山水着を買う事が出来ました...なのでこーんなに水着持っていまーす...
plus this forgotten one...
一着忘れていた水着...
and here is Madison in the way of the picture...
そして、写真を撮るのを邪魔しようとしているマディ ソン...
And drinking with no hands and modeling one of our favorite new suits...
そ して、得意げに口だけでミルクを飲みながら水着のモデルをしてくれているマディソン...
Lastly, we are happy to report that the chef is back...here she shows that she can make Turkey burgers look and taste as good on the West Coast as they did on the East Coast!!
そして最後に、クライン家のママコックが再出動...ニューヨークで好評だったターキーバー ガーはやっぱりカリフォルニアでもおいしい!!

The buns are also homemade with the use of her Artisan KitchenAid...DELICIOUS!!!

That's it...I have lost visual on the bug so time to go upstairs...have a nice day all!!

  1. Same swimsuit! We'll have to visit before Lily outgrows hers :)

    Can I get the recipe for the buns too? I made homemade buns recently and they were ok, but not fantastic. Yours look a lot better than the recipe I tried.
