Summer Activities

We have gotten out and done a few summer activities, some of which are pictured here. The city of Kobe had free admission to many area attractions for a few weeks. Here is a photo from the Kobe Port Tower which the boy & I visited in early August. Also here are several pictures from Osaka where the girl & I went to view fireworks. A friend had invited some of us to view the fireworks from his office in the sky building. I got a few good photos.

1st day of school 2009-2010

Today is the first day of school....finally!! Hoping for a great year.

Enjoy the pics.

PS If you noticed the trail of footprints going up the steps and beyond....it is evidence that the pigs were out last night!!

US Trip

Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but it is so hot, I usually dread coming upstairs to work on the computer. I forced myself this morning, so lets see what I can come up with.

The trip home was long and full of avtivities. In Indy we visited friends, went to doctors and dentist, visited universities, shopped and ate. In Ohio we visited family, cleared out my father-in-law's house, shopped and ate. We were all ready to get back to Japan for some quiet time. Our flights were smooth and we arrived safely and on time to all our destinations. Hubby and Gil were exstatic to see us upon our return. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to return to a normal sleep pattern and now we are fine. Just counting down the days until school starts. Here are a few photos from the trip.
