Hi, everyone!
These days’ weather was mild, and it’s fantastic to enjoy late roses at Tsurumai Park.
Ballerina is so pretty name, isn’t it? I fancy its tiny flower.
Today is the beginning day of December, and we will have to do many our business until the opening of the New Year. I feel depressed when I think about a big cleanup, in spite of my small house. I also worried about a winter vacation with my kids. If I could teach them a kind of cooking, or knitting, we could enjoy more precious time…
So, I hope all of you will enjoy this late autumn. See you tomorrow!

Hi, everyone.
Today, after having a long cloudy spell, it it fine, isn't it?
I can put blankets and futon on the veranda in the sunlight.
Today is the first day of December?
I think yesterday was New Year's day. Time flies, an old man easily gets old but learning is not complemented. This is a Japanese old saying. Ancient people also had a sense that before December January came. So a year has 60days not 365 days. However, I quit getting old or not approching the age. It is because stem cell is extracted from my skin not from embryonic stem cell. However, apparently it is difficult to create a new heart.
In the future, the dexterous at doing patchwork will be needed.
Every time, every era, deft people are glamourous.
As you know, my fingers are all thumbs like Doraemon.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Hi! How are you?
I'm glad to hear from you, Plum. I'm looking forward to seeing you and the party next Sunday.
Cherry, you wrote, “If our lifetime may be about eighty-years old, I had just been a half of my own at that time. Then I made up my mind to do what I want, and not to do what I don’t want,” on this blog three days ago. Just yesterday, I met a woman who said exactly the same thing. She is presumably 2 years older than you and 7 years older than I. Oops. Did you figure out how old I am? Whatever.
This was the third time I met her. Both of us are adult graduate students at the same university but belong to different departments. Her laboratory is in Nagoya. She comes to Seto on Fridays because she took a class held at our campus. The class is a part of the special program that allows them to get the first class teacher's license. A student in my seminar takes this class, too. He got to know her in the class and acquainted me to her. There are only 2 adult students in my department and another student is a man. I don't have a great deal in common with him. We've met many times but still we only greet each other politely. However, this woman and I can share a lot. We can have an endless chatting if time allows us. She graduated from the same university. She has been a high school English teacher and is taking leave from work to study at graduate school. She is a favorably honest person. We had lunch together and promised to meet again.
I was surprised to hear the same thing almost simultaneously from different people. Well, I completely agree with you.
I'm coming to the lecture at Will Aichi tomorrow.
See you then.

Hello, Cherry and dearest my friends.
Today I sent off a newly married couple, my son, Yoshio and his wife, Yuko, to Australia at Centrair airport. They’re flying to Gold Cost and Sydney for surfing on a honeymoon for a week. My daughter, Hiroko’s family attended his wedding ceremony last Friday. She’s planning to stay with us until December 8.
So I’m now the happiest and busiest granny in the world.
My grandson, Manato is one and seven month old.
He is a very healthy and active little boy. On the first night Hiroko asked me to serve two pieces of yellowtail, buri, one for him and one for herself. Otherwise she had no buri for herself because he can eat it all. To my sorry I didn’t realize a little Manato eats a portion for a person. It's a surprise for me little Manato could eat as much as our adults do.
Yes, he is a good boy.
Good-night, my dear friend.
Hi, everyone!!!
It is Sunday, December 2nd, 2007, today, and it’s a bit chilly but a beautiful early winter day.
The public meeting in which Prof. Chizuko Ueno will speak is held at Aichi Will. I paid for admission as soon as Cherry let us know about it, and I was looking forward to hearing her talk. However, although I have been feeling much, much better these days, I am still in convalescence and it might be better not to go out to a public meeting. Thus I will stay at home instead of attending the meeting.
It is so fabulous to hear your happy news, which makes me feel also so happy. December is the busiest month for anybody, and there is a lot of work to do. I just hope all of you will look after yourselves, and have heaps of fun.
Cherry, please keep reading an English article or book out and loud. It will definitely help you improve your English. If possible, try to think in English at home, on the subway, or while you are walking to or from the station. It is a very important and critical time for your English study.
I will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye for now, my precious friends.
