New year card♪

New year cards on the way, finally＾＾；

Michael Jackson's This is it

Moved to tears even at the begining when young dancers spoke how happythey were to be able to dance on the stage with MJ.

Now I realise how much he influenced the people around the world and how much he was loved by all those people, especially by the ones working togetherwith him for his stage.

I liked all the songs he sang and all the dances he showed in the movie but most of all I liked the way he talked to the people around him.

Of course I like the song by littel MJ in Jackson Five too!

He's dead but his name will be rememberd be all the people around the world forever.

Little Life♥+ﾟ

☆Kitchin garden☆

It's been more than a year since we had our kitchen remodeled.
I like the new kitchen with much more space than the one before.

Even a window has more space for a little plant..."a head of　(!?)" a carrot.
About a week after setting, some sprouts started to come out of the head 　(or the top?) and it almost looks like a　little island.

Here I feel "a life".
It reminds me that even such a little part of a vegetable which would have been thrown awayｓ has a life just as other plants and animals.

Everything I cook in this kitchen are directly or originally from some forms of lives.
And the food I cook makes up our body and keep us healthy.

Isn't it amazing＠＠!?

Kobe

☆We love Kobe☆

Kobe seems to be our family's favorite city.
Actually we just came back from Kobe being satisfied after yummy lunch and shopping around the town♪

Since we left home about 1 o'clock in the evening without lunch, we made sure we had lunch which was not too expensive but yummy quite late there, no fancy tea time, and come back for simple dinner at home.
What a stingy family＞＜！

I had to pay quite a lot for the kids' passports though.
I wonder how often they will be using the passports...

Well, so far we'll look forward to our trip to Orlando, Florida.
That will be a trip without Papa and also be the last one with all the kids together　maybeーー；

After the big one we should enjoy little trips to Kobe again.
Of course with Papa, the driver＾＾♥+ﾟ

Julie&Joey

☆Welcome to Awaji!☆

My niece and nephew visited me and my family with their mother, my sister Yoko from Los Angeles.
They came on Sunday and left this morning.

Did they come to Japan for such a short time?
Well, they are going to spend the next 4days or so in Tokyo^^!

What are they going to do?
Visit Odaiba, Harajuku, Akihabara?

I haven't been to Tokyo for more than 15years.
Instead my daughters are catching them up tomorrow and stay with their cousins for 2days in Tokyo.

Have fun everyone！♪
I'll be working hard to pay for the Shinkansen fare and "Tokyo Bananas"--;

Luckily (or unluckily ), Yoko is coming back to my house after her husband and mother-in-law arrive in Tokyo from Hawaii and also her daughter and son leave Japan .
What a complicated plan><!
