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~~

Santa Cruz High GRADUATES! June 10th, 2011

The kids and teachers all were "up above" waiting until the time to descend upon all of us below~


And below, Cabrillo College Stadium:


The ceremony went on for two hours. It really was wonderful. And tho it was so sunny, there was a slight breeze. It was pretty much perfect except for no sisters or brother of Zen's being there, or any of our other blood relatives! xoxox

Zen got to walk between two of two of his best friends, Cody Love and Joseph Marden, on their way to getting their diplomas!


With Mr. Free, who was the keynote speaker! Can't get better than him!!!
Well, Obama would be close! xoxox



Then back to our place to eat, drink, celebrate them and us, and be even more merry~
Akilah celebrating the boys~
Taylor back from U.C.Berkeley and in town, and Iggy graduated from Soquel too~
Iggy's Mom Patty, and brother Willy~Akilah along with Willy and Nahshon~
I want to close out this entry with these two pictures Zen drew in one of his last classes at Santa Cruz High~ so, in thanks to his school too!
