Testimonial

We got a testimonial of the Great Britain Prize in the Visit Japan Campaign 2009 souvenir contest!!
It is a just paper, yet it's of value to me.

Good bye my precious car!!

I boutht a car.
So I relinquished my precious car.
The car's name is Odyssey.
We called him "Mr. Odyssey".
He is wine red, and he came to my home 13 year's ago.
He knew everything of our family.
When we went to my store, when my first daughter went to the cram school, when my son sent to the soccer school, when I picked up my little daughter from the hospital of birth...and when we went to a whole lot of different places, He always took us.
Thank you very much and good bye.
Yours affectionately.

About half of the cherry blossoms

We went out to see the cherry blossoms at the park the day before yesterday.
And I enjoyed a barbecue party with our family.
My mother has a disease. So she can't go out so long time.
But at that time, she wanted to go with us.
We were happy, and really enjoyed a barbecue.
But, unfortunately, about half of the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
I will put a picture of full bloom next time.

Japanese legend

Actually, I stowed away my daughter's Hina dolls today.
It is too late in Japan.
Because, It is ancient tradition that daughters will be past marriageable age if their parents stowed away their dolls late past 4 Mar.
It needs to clear as soon as possible after 3 Mar.
We have 2 daughters!!
Today is already 6 Apr.!!
Dear me!!
But I would like to spend with them long time.
So It is good for me that they will be past marriageable.
Well, I don't know what is the marriageable age...

Fair ride

Today, our store was OFF.
So I went to go to the amusement park with my family.
The name is Tojyokoland.
That is not a big park, and there are not so many fair ride.
But my daughter likes there.
But she didn't like a white-knuckle ride last year. It is great height and speed.
When whe rode it with me, she lamented aloud.
So I think she will not also ride it today.
But first of all, she rode it with her sister.
I was really surprised.
I don't relish doing...

Running school

Today, my daughter took a running lesson.
The teacher was Mr. Asahara.
As you know, Mr. Asahara is a Olympic athlete.
He is a famous sprinter in Japan.
The lesson time was a just short time. So I'm not sure whether she can understand a good form. But it's sure she enjoyed a tag with the great athlete.
I also want to play a tag with them.

Engagement

My brother met his fiancee's parents yesterday.
Until recently, I have thought he's a quirkyalone.
Because he looks like to enjoy his bachelor life.
He lives alone in a skyscraper condo in Tokyo, Japan.
He enjoys an elegant lifestyle.
But finally, he met loved one.
I also met her, and I am favorably impressed.
Congratulations on deciding to tie the knot!
