I keep this blog for friends, family and students in Japan& the U.S.

Since Spring '07, Zen and Taka moved to California full time for Zen's basketball career. I'm in California most of the time right now too. Almost every day I go to help my Grandmom. She was born in 1919. Taka and I also get to work for Uncle Lynn's landscaping company. Santa Cruz, California. As beautiful as ever. However I still feel homesick for Japan~~

The week of Christmas '08

We celebrated Christmas dinner at Uncle Lynn, and Lorraine's home.

Grandmom went along with her two dogs~ Lorraine's daughter and her dad, and Lynn's friend Larry.
We all feasted. Taka and Zen were great making sushi...otherwise chicken, salad and potatoes were on the menu.

Uncle Lynn and Zen

The christmas tree was gorgeous at Lynn's. But I didn't want to buy a cut down tree, so we borrowed a potted tree from Grandmom's and celebrated christmas with this- our tree below.

My 47th birthday was the 23rd- adding extra fun to the week!
