Hi, everyone!
Yesterday, my family went bowling at Hoshigaoka.
Because my younger daughter like it very much,
and she wanted to go there at her birthday.(8.24 was hers.)
She played not so good, but really enjoyed throwing a ball and knocking down
pines.
I suppose that she loves the whole hand-works.
When she was at a kindergarten, she sewed with tiny stitches by hand better than me!
And she always love to do household chores,
such as dishwashing, ironing, hanging the laundries, and so on.
She wants to be a patissier in the future.
It's unbelievable, is she my daughter??
Yes, she may be her father's daughter.
So, good bye and see you!

Hi, Cherry.
I am so glad to hear that your daughter likes bowling and she did it for her birthday. Children like bowling, don’t they? My children liked it so much, but I was a bad bowler and so did not take them as often as they wanted. But my brother took them to a nearby bowling alley with his children whenever we visited my parents. (My brother and his family lived with my parents in Osaka until they passed away.) I was very happy about it and still I am.
It is excellent that your daughter is so talented with her fingers. She did sewing better than you as a kindergartener. How clever she is!!! You must absolutely be happy about it and are greatly proud of her.
She wants to be a patissier when she grows up. A patissier is a very good creative profession and extremely popular among young people. Also, since she loves household chores, she might be able to become a household management critic or a Japanese Martha Stewart and earn a lot of money and create assets. (If you want to take a look at Martha’s official site, just go to http://www.marthastewart.com/. It is absolutely gorgeous and enchanting. You can also watch her videos and learn many recipes from them. Isn’t it fantastic?)
I do like doing handicraft and, as a child, made a lot of dolls with cloth I could find at home and delivered them to neighborhood girls who were younger than me. I learned, just by myself, how to knit and crochet and use a sewing machine when I was very young, and enjoyed making dresses and giving them to my friends as a gift.
Actually I was making some money, though is was just a small amount, by machine-sewing at home when I was pregnant with my first child, who was my daughter (I have two children, daughter and son), before I started to study English in a serious way. Interesting, isn’t it?
I started to work as an interpreter and translator following I got a national interpreter guide license in my very early 30s, but I got sick and tired of those types of paid work, and decided to study more and entered grad school in New Zealand in my late 40s. Lots of ups and downs in my life. Not so exciting but not so terribly bad. So far so good. Actually I would like to study more and learn about lots of things. How about you, Cherry?
I wish you best of luck always. Goodnight…have sweet dreams, Cherry.
I hope you had a wonderful day today, my dear friends. Goodnight...
Dear Cherry and friends,
Cherry, doesn't your daughter say, “I want to become a mother”?
Before I saw the word, pattisier, I expected the word, “mother.”
I used to teach children at a small private clam school, juku. I started the juku at my uncle's house where I rented a room from him and taught junior high and elementary school kids there for several years. In each class, there were only a small number of students. They probably found the place comfortable and me as a teacher friendly. Some students talked to me about their family, their school life, and themselves.
One day, a girl said to me, “I want to become a mother in the future.” She continued, “nobody would not like to become a father, because fathers are always watching TV and doing nothing.” From her words, I learned mother was generally regarded as a decent profession. I think the girl is about 25 years old. I haven't seen her since she graduated the junior high school 10 years ago. I wonder what she is doing now.

Hello, everyone. I found it very strange that if I could send a message to this blog, I couln't see Nagoya Women's Study Group's one. I can't access to it at all. They say that someone is approaching and I am rejected.
How inconvenient and irritating it is! I don't know what I should do.
Anyway today I'll talk about my mini trip to Hirugano highland this week. I went there with my 3 friends and stayed one night, then came back this evening. I could escape from the deadly heat of Nagoya for a short time.
It was rather cool and I enjoyed the breeze in the field sometimes. The colorful lilies were in full bloom all over DAINA LAND where 200,000 lilies were planted last year. We went to the top of the hill by the lift and walked down in thity minutes, watching and smelling the lilies. I could charge energy. I recommend you to go there next year because they say this season will be end on Aug.31.
Hi, everyone.
Cherry, you are happy, you have such a dexterous daughter. your way of bringing up her may be good.
Welcome back, Magnolia. The plateau was fragrant, wasn't it?
Plum, I appreciate your kind explanation and suggestion about HT.
By the way, I bought DVD tape through the internet from Amazon. The title is Billy's Boot Camp. At that time I thought it was too cheap at 2,260 yen. I ordered it on Aug. 8th. It was sent the very day when my mother, nephew and my daughter came to my house on 25th.
I forgot ordering it. When I opened the package, I found the DVD in it titled Harvey's Boot Camp. Oops. I understood why it was very cheap like this.
I told about my goof to my nephew and my child. They grinned. They knew difference between Billy and Harvey.
Billy was in Army. Harvy was in Navy. Billy moves with other members. Harvey only stands by trainees and inspires them.
Billy uses a tool but Harvey doesn't. Those who can't come up with Billy's choose Harvey's.
We three tried it. I droped out only after first step. Next, I will try with my husband.
