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~~

New Age Connection Celebrates 25 years Oct. 22nd 2011

There are so many people to thank!!!
We celebrated with only a few of the many we wish could have come. At Dunas in Nishio
Especially thanking...Anita, Jennifer, Hiromi, Hiroaki, Ischin,
Taka, Julie, Prabhu (who were here in spirit!)...Kato-san, Sayoko, Motohiko...on and on we can go, Aya, Chiharu, Akiko, Murakami's...watch for the 30th reunion! Plans are already in the making!!













A couple days after our celebration, the High School around the corner from us, Kakujogaoka, met with Anita and me (discussing English classes to be held)...they presented us with these gifts too! These are AROMASKS!!! Aroma scented face masks (masks have been common to wear for as long as I've known Japanese!!! more than 25 years!)

AND they made special deodorizers which read "25th" in beads in them!!!!
THANK you Kakujaoka High School Students and Teachers Tsuruta-san and Yukiko-san!!!
