My aunt みなこ is a widow and she is 80 something.
But she looks much younger than her age. She belongs to a 川柳 Club.
In the club there are always more widows than widowers.
One day she had a phone-call from one of the widowers.
He asked her for a date.
She was so happy because she was fond of him.
On the day みなこsan chose her favorite 着物 carefully and
put lots of cosmetics on her face.
Then she hurried to the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet.
When she went into the coffee shop, the man was already there.
He was surprised to see みなこ and said, "Why are you here ? "
My aunt みなこ was shocked to hear that but she tried to stay calm.
Then みなこ asked the man. "What made you come here?"
The man replied, "I have a date with みなこsan and I'm waiting for her."
Obviously he has mistaken みなこsan for someone else.
Later poor みなこsan told me.
"You must memorize your partner's name correctly, no
matter how old you are."
What do you think, everyone?

My pet cat is MISSING !!
I am worried about her very much.
She has been in my house more than 13 years.
About 8:00 last night, I let her go out because she wanted.
Usually she comes back home soon after.
But yesterday she never came back again.
She just disappeared !!
There must have been an accident!?
Was she run over by a car or did she fall into the river by mistake ?
"Oh, Come back, Hanna, Please!"
From now on I go into mouring (喪中に入ります。) Sad !!

Good morning everyone!
Yesterday my missing cat was found safe although she was covered in dirt.
I washed her carefully in the bathroom and dried her hair with my hair dryer.
Whoof! I'm relieved. Thanks a lot for your compassion.
Today is the end of year 2006.
I hope 2007 will be a prosperous year for each of you!

Happy New Year, everyone.
When I woke up this morning, it was shining.
Having a nice sunshine on New Year's Day is very rare in 北陸.
So I decided to attend Morning service at my church with my partner.
However, the road around 護国神社 was so crowded.
Everybody wants to go to the shrine because of the nice weather.
Anyhow we managed to park our car somewhere near the church.
After the service we had ぜんざい together and enjoyed
chatting with each other for a while.
One of the elderly people said,
"Having no one to talk makes me feel very isolated "
Life expectancy in Japan is getting longer and longer.
I know we have to work on a plan to solve this problem.
But how ?

It is nice weather this New Year in HongKong.
There isn't humidity.
Japanese school is winter holiday.
but international school started today.
My youngest son is fine and went to his school.
Yesterday my family ate おぞうにand おしるこ.
In Hongkong, rice cake is expensive.
But we have to eat rice cake.
It is Japanese culture I think.
I'd like to teach my children various events of Japan we therefore lives in overseas.
「海外に住んでいるからこそ、日本の行事を教えたい」としたいのですが････。
>Life expectancy in Japan is getting longer and longer.
If every elderly people had dream like ハンナさん.
this problem is not so important I think.
Oh I'm sorry. ハンナさんisn't elderly people.
>But how ?
I can teach my children about kindly to elderly people,handicapped people and children.
Every people has"お互いを気遣う気持ち”.
So loneliness elderly people will decreases.
「だんだん少なくなる」は,getting ○○and○○で、使えますか？
Now I'm housewife.
So I can only do it.

I have just come back from my parents' house. I had a good holiday there. Children got a lot of お年玉. I envy them! But to tell the truth, when I went to my husband's hometown, our parents' in law gave me お年玉because I'm busy taking care of my kids! Lucky me!
お年玉は日本だけのものですか？そうすると英語にするときは、new year's money? new year's gift?何になるのでしょうか？

As you know, 2007 is the year of the boar(イノシシ）.
A boar is a wild pig. People born in the year of the
boar are known to be very persistent（持続的/頑固）.
Once they have decided to do something, nothing will
stop them from carrying it out.
If someone says that a person is "Pigheaded", it means
that they are very stubborn（強情っぱり）.
In most societies, pigs are considered dirty and greedy.
For example, when someone "eats like a pig", it means
that they eat a lot of food.
If you are talking about yourself, you could say
"I pigged out."(自分自身のことを言う場合、「ガツガツ食った」と言ってもよいかも。）
I wonder how many of you pigged out at お正月？

<Looking to the future, remembering the past>
I suppose January is a time for looking forward to:
new challenges and new beginnings;
planning our holidays; special events such as parties
and anniversaries.
Often, in doing this, we are reminded of something and
can't help but look back and think:
" Was it really that long ago?"
One of the biggest events in London this year,which
millions of people around the world will be anticipating,
is the birthday concert for Princess Diana,
who would have been 46 on the day it is staged.

At last you got a job. Congratulations!!
Being a mother of four children is a priceless job.
However, kids sometimes drive you mad.（*'‐'*)
So if you have a job and stay away from your children
for a while, you feel refreshed, I'm sure.
I once took a course "How to teach Japanese ".
I studied it about 10 months.
After that I changed my mind. I thought teaching was enough for me.
I should do something completely different.
Then I studied "Tourism " in New Zealand.
It was a good choice, I think.
I enjoy my life now.

Long time no see!
I have been a little busy these days. How are you??
I have used a frying pan since I god married. It has been 3years and became really old and useless. Too old and black! But I still use it. Finally, I bought a new one. It's really comfortable to use it.
自分が料理するようになって、使いやすいから？愛着がわいてか？なかなか捨てればいいのに〜って思っても捨てられなくなってました。実家の母親もこんな古いの捨てちゃえば？って思ってたけど、実際自分も捨てられないです。物は大事にしたいですね！！

いしころさん、お久しぶり。
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you earlier.
I've been busy at organaizing my next tour.
This time I'll bring 6 people into New Zealand.
My clients are mainly senior citizens.
One of the clients wants to stay and study in New Zealand for 3 months.
So I had to arrange his school and homestay in advance.
Now I have everything organized. I am relieved.
We are leaving on 1st of March. I am getting excited.
いしころさん、I also have lots of rubbish.
I must throw them away, but too difficult to decide " when" to do it.

We have been married for 42 years.
Our couple were always quarrllng 8 years since we weremarriage.
Then I thought everything for me first of all.
I don't take care of my husband .
My husband likes very cooking.
Because he is helping me.
若い頃はいい奥さんになろうと努力し、相手がそれに報いてくれず、イライラしていました。だんだんばかばかしくなって家族揃って楽しんだりするために夫の協力を求めたりはしなりました。ほとんどマイペースで、子供を育て生活していましたね。
子育てを終えてからは、相手の喜んでしていることを尊重するように心がけるようにしてきました。自分のしていることも尊重してもらいたいからね！
年よりになっても、私のマイペースの姿勢はかわりませんが、お互いにいたわりの心が出てきただけですよ。
英語ですらすら書けたらいいんだけど(｡･m･)ｸｽｸｽ

ちょっと英語ではむりです。新婚当初は、それこそすべてがちがうので、イライラしてました。今じゃ、きっとこうなるな・・っていう予想どうりに物事が進んだり、少し相手が思うことがわかったり・・まだまだですが、平常心で行きます。
It's getting warmer and warmer. I like taking a walk with my kids. When I find an airplane in the sky, I feel happy and lucky! I don't know why...

Hello everyone.
I'm expecting another NZ tour very soon. This time I bring 6 people into New Zealand. One of the clients wants to study English there for three months. So on the final day of my tour I'll drop him at the homestay where the school has already arranged.
Today I was busy at packing, but I've almost finished.
I'm leaving on 1st March so I won't be able to send you messages for a while.
みなさん、私が不在の間、カキコその他 よろしくお願いします。（*'‐'*)

Hi everyone
Long time no see. How are you?
I just came back from New Zealand late last night.
My tour is always very adventurous.
This time I had 2 main purposes on my tour.
The first one is to bring a middle aged guy from Japan
who wants to study English for 3 months.
The second one is to find a natural thermal pool(river) called Kerosene Creek
somewhere near Rotorua.
With my driver's help I finally found the river !!
This Kerosene Creek is one of the few places where
people can swim in natural hot water for free!
Here is one of my pictures. If you want to view more,
please have a look at my latest dairy, too.
It was really gorgeous.

Hi,ハンナさん！
I'm glad that you came back safe and had a good time in NZ. I have a friend there. Someday I'd love to go.
Guess what??
My husband got transfered to Vietnam!! So we will move there in June. According to the guide book, it'll be hot and humid in June. But I hope it'll be a good experience. Have you ever been there? If so, please let me know how it's like.

Hi いしころさん
Wow!! Your husband will be transfered to Vietnam in June.
Sounds great!!
I love Asian countries but unfortunately I've never been there.
I wish I could visit Vietnam while you are there!!
Yes, summer time in Asia, the weather is quite humid.
But I think you'll get used to it soon.
By the way, did you see my photos in my latest dairy?
I would like to have your comment.
