Decision!!

Our little girl has finally made up her mind about where to go to college! But, for security purposes, I'll not post here.

Happy Easter

Here we have the family enjoying a fun Easter egg hunt in the back yard.

Choir Concert

Went to the High School Choir concert on Friday.

They put on a nice show. The seniors were all recognized and given a rose.

Kiln Trip

After pottery class on Saturday, I went to Sassayama, where my teacher has his wood fired kiln. On the way there, we stopped at a wood shop because one of the crew is thinking of making a table. Cherry trees surrounded the area. The cute, little, old shop owner's wife, was cooking japanese curry over an open fire. Next to the kiln is a shrine. Down the road there were some rice fields. It was a nice day out in the countryside.

KWC trip to Kyoto

KWC's cherry blossom viewing trip to Kyoto was yesterday. We had gorgeous weather and a great day out with friends. We started out at Haradanien, then had lunch and went to Ninnaji temple, after which, we walked through Arashiyama on our way back to the train.

Hanami & Inoshishi

Yesterday the hubby and I walked into Sannomiya. It took about 1.5 hrs. Along the way we saw some beautiful cherry trees. And some hanami parties. We were crossing the street at the Shinkansen station when out ran this pig!! There was a policeman chasing him away with a stick, but we weren't quick enough to get his picture too!

Valentine

Valentine has been staying with us while her mom & dad are on holiday. We took her and Gil to the cherry trees at the shrine to take their photos. There wasn't much cooperation.
