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~~

Akko-chan's baby! The Work of that and other work

Akko-chan's baby was born November 14th I think. We visited when he, Teruma, was 10 days old. Akko-chan, at 28.
With her first AKKA-CHAN 赤ちゃん("baby") and Naomi

Naomi and me getting a baby dose. No, I don't feel it in me to be a grandma myself yet. Even though my oldest boy is almost 26 and Naomi's 23. It's not in the air yet.


So, another sort of "work". Here is one of our classes, at a cram school, at 9:30 pm the new teacher for my school Elaine, finishes teaching perhaps the most challenging class we have. But, they look innocent enough! Well, the most innocent are the girls who wouldn't turn around for my photo. The owner, Miyuki Kurono, on the right, an amazing woman teaching for kids all year round late into the nights.
And on the homefront, Sylvester does his thing~ the real work is keeping mice out of our kitchen. Outside he wants to practice on birds though.
