Hi, everyone!
Yesterday I sent my daughters and the younger one’s friend to a nearest movie theater to see the movie Doraemon. There were a lot of children and their parents, enjoying their spring holiday. While they were watching it, I went around a super market and some shops next to that theater. After the movie, we got McDonald’s burgers, took some purikura, and bought several pretty stationeries. They were very excited the whole day.
I was exhausted from taking care of them, but just looking at their cheerfulness made me happy. I wonder how many years do I have such hectic days. I feel just a little sad when I imagine them as a grown woman.
So, see you later. Good bye.

Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
Today I met one of our senior members, with whom I had lunch at an Italian restaurant. She kindly gave me a copy of “American women Missionaries” by Rui Kohiyama. It was a book Dr. Aoyama had recommended us to read.
I read the last chapter written about three Japanese women who had had great influence from American women missionaries. They are Shizuko Wakamatsu, Hojyu Sasaki, and Kajiko Yajima who lived in the Meiji ear.
The author underlined the time between 1870 and 1890 because it was the period when the Meiji Government was busy establishing the new political system of a state, hence American missionaries are free to establish missionary schools to educate Japanese young women who belonged to former samurai class or rich merchant and farmer families.
She also stresses that 1890’s was when the government had rapidly accomplished the base of the modern state. It promulgated the Meiji Constitution in 1898, the Imperial Rescript on Education in 1890, and the Civil Code
in 1898. These three pieces of legislation was a cornerstone of the state. Since 1980’s Japan had inclined to nationalism and a return to its traditional values.
See you tomorrow, my dear friends.
I'm going to view cherry blossoms.
Hello, Cherry and friends
Now is the best season for all Japanese loving cherry blossoms in profusion. And now is the time of change of refreshing, too. I also wanted to change my image and had my hair waved for the first time in around 20 years. What a change and what a shame! My hairs are now exploding. My hairs are naturally slight curly so perm doesn’t do well with my hairs.
Anyway I have been disappointed with my hair-style. But I got a nice phrase from a magazine I read at the beauty salon. “Mission, Passion and Action, these three are necessity to do something.” These words are from comment of the wife of the former Prime Minister Hosokawa. She is now an international activist of saving children in developing countries. I wonder if she might be more competent than her husband.
Have a nice weekend! Bye, my dearest friends.
Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
Cosmos, thank you for introducing a wonderful Akie's phrase.
I love “Mission, Passion and Action. How rhythmical it sounds!
Yes, all these are necessities of our life, especailly writing an essay.
Good-night, my precious friends.
Hello, friends.
Today my eldest son drove me to Toki Outlet with his family.
It was the first time for me to go there and I enjoyed shopping, walking and chatting over a cup of coffee though in the end I was tired and had a backache. Without noticing we walked around for four hours there. No wonder I was so exhausted.
But luckily I got a nice jacket of Natural Beauty at a third price.
