It is nice here in New Orleans, it is like some of the big festivals in Europe, so many people all in the same place, and none of them very careful of their belongings ( Read more... )

Tonight Eva is going to meet with this dimensions version of her father. Already I am prepared to hate the man for the way she is reacting to the simple fact of his talking to Evan ( Read more... )

Only a few days left until we go to New Orleans. Eva is very excited, she has been making many plans since we talked about getting married. I am glad she sang at me, I did not know it was important to her. Although I think she may have forgiven me finally for calling her Evalon while we were discussing it ( Read more... )

I think poor Izzy is about at wits end with her siblings. It is a bit much to have that many land on your doorstep at once I would imagine. Especially if they are not ready for what this town has to face ( Read more... )

Well my Grandmother has returned home. We were able to send her alone with a cell phone along so that if she had troubles at any place she could call and I could translate for her. She did not have any troubles, my Grandmother is quite good at getting her point across ( Read more... )

My Drabarni is far too good to me. She arranged to have Izzy go and bring my grandmother here for a visit. While I do not regret my decisions I do find it lonely without family nearby and it has been wonderful having her here. Even if she does scold me for teaching Eva curse words in Rom. I made the mistake of trying to point out that she has ( Read more... )

We got home to Sunnydale yesterday and all of the decorations and gifts that Eva had ordered to be delivered by the time we arrived were here.

I help when ( Read more... )

San Francisco has been one of the best times I have had with Eva. Despite the fact that she has had us visit the ballet several times. She likes to start an argument every time we go how a person who likes the opera should also like the ballet. The argument lasts almost as long as the ballet and we make the same arguments each time we go. As ( Read more... )

Leaving the hellmouth and going to this city of San Francisco has been a wise decision. Injuries are fading much more quickly here where we do not have to rebuild and defend at all hours of the day and night, and knowing that there is little chance of apocalyptic happenings here has made the stress so much less we can breathe again ( Read more... )

Last night was a holiday for Eva, the day of the dead. She invited Izzy and I along with her. It is similar to what the Rom do when someone dies. When a family member dies you bury them and then feed the grave for three days until their spirit leaves for it's journey. If you do not feed the spirit it won't be able to leave and it will be angry ( Read more... )
