A series of happy events!

Finally your second grand-son came into the world, Plum.
Congratulations!!!
Since an unexpected event occurred, your all family must be surprised.
But it's nice their baby and Ulala-san are going well.
I rememberd my memory of delivery.
When I was in labor at a hospital, my father brought a lot of "onigiri"
with shake and tarako in it. ( Those tasted veeeery good!)
My mother couldn't come for her work, but I felt her love for me.
I hope your recovering from your fatigue, and new-born angel will get rid of your tiredness.

So, good night, Plum and friends.
See you!

Hi, everybody!
I am very happy to hear the news of the birth of Plum’s grandchild.
Congratulations, Plum!! You have to become busy in helping the new mother take care of the baby, but it will be a fantastic job. A new baby can power to give pleasure to everyone. We are attracted to every expression of a baby, crying, yawning as well as smiling and sound sleeping face. Please enjoy the wonderful time with the baby and his new parents.
My niece gave birth on July, too. In her case, it was the so-called late child-bearing. My sister is now near 70 years old and taking regular treatment of artificial dialysis. So it is very tough to take care of the new baby and the new mother. She is complaining about her daughter’s late marriage and late delivery. She used to be proud of her daughter because of her excellent accomplishment at school, in addition, she was very beautiful girl. But the daughter became a cause of to my sister after around three years since her graduation. For my sisters, next goal was an ideal marriage. That was too optimistic. It was the beginning of long conflicts between mother and daughter. She has never taken mother’s persuasion to marry and kept on live by herself. But finally she found nice partner last year and gave birth. My sister has spent busy days but she has felt easy mentally to see the happy life of her daughters with good partner and cute baby.

Hi, everyone!!!
How things are going around you?

Thank you very much for your kind, sweet and lovely words to congratulate on the birth of my second grandkid, who is still in the hospital with his mother.

They are hopefully arriving home tomorrow morning, and hence, I got a pot of very pretty pink cyclamen and two pots of gorgeous and exquisite orchid to welcome them. My daughter said that she had been terribly tense and nervous in the medical facility, since everything was unprecedented and unpredictable to her. I really want to relax her at home and make her happy after her physically and mentally exhausting work.

Yoji went out to visit them a couple of hours ago, and probably he is now giving a bath to his son somewhere at the Oxford Ward of the Royal Hospital for Women. (The hospital staff did not bathe him after he was born, and so he still got some blood stains here and there in his hair on the first and second days. I took them off entirely with a wet towel yesterday, and he looked quite refreshed. Nonetheless, when I visited him this morning, his facial skin was partially peeling off, mainly because I suppose he was not washed. Oh, poor, little baby boy…)

It is very interesting and amusing to hear the medical staff calling my daughter “darling”, “sweetheart” or “honey”, just like she is their lover.

I cooked takikomi-gohan, miso-soup with tofu, wakame-seaweed, and deep-fried soybean curd. Also I sprinkled some salt over three pieces of trout so that Yoji could fry it or cook it in anyway he liked after he got home from the hospital tonight. Yoji likes Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Italian food. I would like to please him as much as possible by cooking in the way he wants me to, although my cookery skills probably do not reach the desired or required level for him. (In fact, he himself is a great chef. Especially he is excellent at making fish dishes.)

He is nice and quite like his mother, but he can listen to me, whatever I say, and appears to be enjoying talking with me. I don’t know what he is thinking about deep inside his mind, though. He is a good-looking guy like his father, and I think he is quite happy about it.

I did the laundry and hung the washing on the hangers half an hour ago and finished all the housework for the day, and I am ready to go to bed.

Sweet dreams…, my dear friends.

P.S.
Sunflower, I am very glad to send you my writing about Marxist feminist theory, and if you wish, I would love to explain liberal, Marxist and radical feminist theories to two of you, Cherry and Sunflower, when you have time. Please let me know if you would like to, Cherry and Sunflower.

Hi, Cherry and everyone.

Have a nice day in Hokkaido!!!
I recommend you to mount the horse around the Yotei Mountain. It's beautiful.

I am almost fainted with the stroy of a daughter's marriage and delivery but the joy is unfathomable all the more.

At the result, Mother's love is more profound than the sea.

I am reading Sea around the sea. It's very interesting.
