ビーツ Beets
Harvested such big nice beets. I was told that they were good for lowering your blood pressure. I didn't have juicer, so I used a pressure cooker and simply boiled in water.

結構雲があって、まわりの山が見えなくて残念でした。

MacBook Pro
よしあとりきに新しいコンピューター、Mac Book Proを買いました。届いた時の笑顔と興奮と言ったら、3歳児がクリスマスの朝にプレゼントを開けた時の様でした。
We bought Joshua and Riki brand new computers, Mac Book Pros. The excitement and the smile on their faces when the computers were delivered was just like three year old kids opening Christmas gifts on Christmas morning.
よしあのMacBook Proのためのケースを作りました。I made a case for Joshua's MacBook Pro.
りきには後で作ってあげます!I will make one for Riki later.

帰ったよ。Back home.
こちらは、日本の実家の最寄り駅で電車を待っているところです。19日にアメリカに帰ってきました。
We were waiting for a train at the station closest to my parents' house in Japan. We came back to US on the 19th.
大きなプラムがまだ木になっていました。Some big plums were still on the tree.
とっても大きくてとっても甘かったです。They were so big and very sweet.
花もきれいに咲いていました。Flowers were blooming beautifully.

回転寿し Sushi-go-round
日本に帰ったら必ず子供たちが行きたがるのが回転寿し。この日は姪っ子達も一緒。このメンバーで外出すると、わぁ〜子だくさんなお母さんだわぁーといつも人目を引くみたいです。。
Sushi-go-round is the place boys always want to go when we come back to Japan. Nieces came along with us that day. Whenever I go out with those members, I seem to draw attention because, wow, I have so many kids! (Families in Japan tend to have less children nowadays.)

お茶 Green tea
お茶を買いに行きました。何種類ものお茶を試飲させていただいて、色んなお茶の味の違いがわかりました。そちらのカフェで頂いた、こちらは抹茶パフェ。
We went to buy green teas. They let us try all different kinds of green teas, so we were able to learn to taste the differences. This is green tea parfait.
黒豆きな粉パフェ。Black bean & soy powder parfait.

超がっくし。。。Big disappointment....
あ〜〜〜、もう超超ちょ〜〜がっくし。何がそんなにがっくりかって?高校入学祝いに爺ちゃんから買ってもらった時計がどこかへいっちゃった〜〜!!今まで30年以上もずっと使っていたのに。。ちょ〜〜チョック!!!どこを探してもない。天国へは何も持っていけないんだからと自分に言い聞かせるしかないや。。。(*^*) (ちなみに写真は私が持っていたのと似ているセイコーの腕時計)
Ah~~~I'm so SO So SOOOO disappointed, SO sad. Why? Because I LOST my SPECIAL watch that was given by my GRANDPA to celebrate my high school entrance. It's GONE~~!!! I had it over 30 years. I'm in shock! I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it. I've been telling myself that I cannot bring anything to heaven, so let go........ (*^*) (btw, those watches look like mine, but they are not mine.)
