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~~

In Santa Cruz @ Walton Lighthouse

I met Betsy Engelman at tennis. She lives on East Cliff, in her newly renovated beautiful house.
Recently Betsy couldn't play tennis because of her knee, but she and I have been going regularly to the Apple Store in Los Gatos for MacIntosh-computer lessons. And then I've gotten to take walks together with Betsy and Holly~dog around the harbor by her home. She showed me where her parent's name lives on on the Lighthouse plaque:
"THE ENGELMAN & JOHNSON FAMILY"


Walking the train tracks back to Betsy's.

Across the way from the tracks is this Harbor. In Winter Christmas lights are strung on the masts 

Betsy's been painting also, she's actually a serious artist and done that sort of art for a long time.
 She was very interested in this painter's gear~
Summer has finally descended upon Santa Cruz. Until the past few days it's been very cool. 
People here are practically wilting in the 90 degree heat this week!
