'Fudeko sono ai'

Hi, everyone!

Today I also went to see the movie, ‘Fudeko sono ai’ with Magnolia. The movie depicted Fudeko gracefully as a mother of social-welfare education, and I was moved to tears several times. I thought it was a little hard for my kids, but they were interested with it, and asked me what Down syndrome was. I enjoyed a talk show after the movie, because the director Yamada was passionate, entertaining speaker. I really hope that Magnolia’s efforts could go out the world. It was a fantastic day.

So, see you tomorrow, good night…

Hello, everybody!
Plum, I have been very surprised to know you got burned on the shoulder and have relieved a little to know that you are getting better, too. I have noticed that there are many happenings in our lives again. I hope your quick recovery.
Magnolia, I’m sorry to miss the movie. But I am very glad to hear that you had good time with the director and the actress. We are looking forward to your exciting report later.
By the way, I have been very busy in reading series of MANGA about wine, which Azalea lent me. It depicts expert knowledge about wine in detail, entwining mysterious puzzle to solve. It is so fun that I am absorbed in it. I recalls the time when my daughters were crazy over a various comic books and I got on my nerves about their negligence of studying in their childhood. Now I can understand their feeling.

Hi, friends!
Plum, how did you get burned on your shoulder? Was it because of hot shower? I hope it'll be cured soon.
Today I went to Yoki-so in Kakuouzan because I was asked to come as a volunteer interpreter for some foreigners who came to visit Yoki-so to know Japanese culture such as koto playing and flower arrangement. So I helped the flower teacher to teach foreigners to arrange autumn flowers like rindo and lilies. I helped an Indian woman and she was very pleased to complete it, saying "It was my dream to arrange flowers like this." in Japanese. When I tried to interpret, she said, "Nihongode Daijobudesu."

But I could enjoy talking in English with some exchange students from America and England.
We brought them to Nittaiji temple because today was its monthly festival day and they became excited to see many open markets where I found rather cheap figs, so I bought them for making fig compotes.
But on second thought I cooked 'Ichijiku no wine ni'. I can't tolerate alcohol, but I like the smell of red wine. If I eat them, my face becomes red, but no one cares when I eat them before sleeping.

Hi, everyone!!!
It’s Sunday, October 21, 2007. It has been a sunny and pleasant autumn day, hasn’t it? I hope it has been a wonderful Sunday to everyone, my dear friends.

Thank you for coming to my house and listening to me for 5 hours!!!, Cherry, Peach and Azalea. I think we had a very good discussion, didn’t we?

At the same time, I apologized for the delay in my explanation about our collections of essays, but I hope you could get some idea about them from my today’s talk.

I am afraid that you must have been fairly tired from making attempts to understand my speech. It will take time to fully understand how to write an English essay, but definitely it is worth trying.

We will meet together on 25th of the next month. I hope you enjoy gathering essay materials and reading them. We will exchange our knowledge and information at the next meeting so that we could understand our topics more deeply and clearly.

My burn has not been healed yet, but my husband gave me a lot of massage after dinner this evening, and I am now feeling much better. Tomorrow I will go to my doctor for my burn, and the day after tomorrow I will go to my hand doctor. Oh, yes, I am invalid, aren’t I? But I am not depressed or mentally sick, which is really good. I am rather feeling fine, although my sickness and burn restrict my daily lifestyle.

It is getting late, and I think I have to get ready for bed. I will talk to you again tomorrow, my precious friends. Sweet dreams…

Hi, everyone.

I really appreciate Plum's efforts and altruism. The reason why I use the word 'altruism' is that it expresses today's Plum herself.
Perhaps, everyone easily understands the situation.
