Hi, everyone!
Yesterday, I got a picture dictionary, for me and my kids, through the Internet. In order to improve my vocabulary, it seems good. While flipping the pages of the book, I was interested with a page about family. There was ‘Lisa Smith’s family’ on it, which went through several stages; married, divorced, single mother and single father, and remarried.
Lisa was brightly smiling between two homes, which have stepfather/mother and half brother/sister or stepbrother/sister respectively. I didn’t know the proper use of these words. According to the dictionary, a sister of same mother is a ‘half sister,’ and a sister of same father is a `stepsister.’ This page gave me a positive impression about divorce in the West.
So, good night, see you!

Hello,friends.
I'm sorry that I didn't write about the amount of apple when you make the apple sauce for the Apple Chicken.
You have to grate a whole apple of Kogyoku, which was the only difficult part.
By the way, what's the wedge picassofish, Azalea? I couldn't find it in the dictionary.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Hi. How did you spend this weekend, everybody?
Cherry, you've got an interesting dictionary. I guess your dictionary was recently published. Both Sunflower and I were surprised at various types of families in Canada. Since Canadian society is heterogeneous, people need to learn accept each other whatever social attribute they have.
Azalea, I have the same question as Magnolia. And I have two more questions.
Do you scuba dive?
Who is Alice Paul?
My name was given by my American friend, Phyllis. I asked her to give me one.
Today, I went to a beauty salon which is different form the one I usually visit. I don't have any problem with the regular one, but my cousin recommended me another that is her regular beauty salon and her daughter who is a student of beauty school works there as a part time job. The beauty salon was nice and comfortable. The salon building is quite new. Stylists and workers there are friendly, which gives me a very good impression.
My stylist and I had a frank conversation about our family. She said the beauty salon is her family business. The owner is one of her sisters. Another sister has a branch beauty salon in the suburb. The 3 sisters started the business, made it bigger, and now they have some regular and part-time workers. When I asked whether their parents are hairdressers, she told her mother used to have a beauty parlor and still she has customers. The mother of the 3 sisters had to close her own shop years ago for some reason, but she sometimes brings her old customers when she is asked to style their hair and borrows a chair at her daughters' salon. I think she is about 70. She has a 18 year old grandson.
Not only this interesting conversation but also their excellent services made me want to change the beauty salons. I think I will visit the new one again.
Time to go to bed now.
Good night.
