Spain, Mexico, and Japan

I would like to

...smell the Castilian Rose of Spain;

...see the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on a tilma in Mexico;

...pursue my graduate studies in Japan and smell their Cherry Blossoms.

Very loving and nutty ways

In preparation for the opening day of the Dragonfly Inn, Lorelei instructed Sookie to prepare a zucchini soup. Sookie said that Jackson had some concerns about the freshness of the zucchini. But Lorelei insisted that it is very important to have the soup served on the opening of the Inn because people were expecting it. And so, Jackson decided to sleep with the zucchini - literally. He wanted to be with the zucchini because there was a forecast that a cold front will be coming from Canada and he knew how important the zucchini was for the opening day. Realizing the situation, Lorelei, Sookie and Michel went to the zucchini patch to get Jackson.
LORELAI: What are you doing here?
JACKSON: I'm sleeping with the zucchini. Didn't you tell her that I was sleeping with the zucchini?
SOOKIE: She had a little trouble grasping that concept.
LORELAI: I do not want you to sleep with the zucchini.
JACKSON: You said it was important.
LORELAI: They are.
JACKSON: And to keep them safe, no matter what it takes. And there's a possibility of a cold front.
SOOKIE: I told her about the cold front.
LORELAI: That's why you have heaters.
JACKSON: But the heaters could fail, so I'm here to service them.
LORELAI: So technically, you're sleeping with the heaters?
JACKSON: I guess so.
LORELAI: But I don't want you to do that either.
MICHEL: It's cold.
LORELAI: Sit down here. It's warm down here. Jackson, I love you. I love that you're doing this, but I also feel like I should call the guys with butterfly nets to come get you...and me and all of us.
JACKSON: Well...
LORELAI: I'm so sorry, guys.
SOOKIE: For what?
LORELAI: For freaking out about dumb things like zucchini and not realizing that people would respond in very loving and nutty ways. This is not the way to do this. We're too stressed out. We're not having fun. This whole inn experience is flying by. Tonight it stops.
SOOKIE: Sounds good to me.
I love the way these people responded in very loving and nutty ways. :)
