no typhoon here.. no complaints.. we are having a lovely, cool, rainy morning.. i am sitting on the porch enjoying the breeze and much cooler temperature... i have been fooled before by the morning weather..
if it stops raining and the temperature doesn't soar, we will get out for a nice walk.. i am not familiar with this new neighborhood and it is hilly.. the old neighborhood was flat so even if i walked or rode the bike far (for me anyway), there was always a familiar landmark for me to head towards.. i haven't even been out in the car much to familiarize myself with the area, casey and chieko are both working and usually pick up any groceries on their way home, but i am not scared!
when we were at the 100 yen shop the other day, i bought some toy cups/plates/chopsticks/food etc for the darlings.. they have been having fun "preparing" tea and hotdogs and serving them to us.. ray made many many origami bats and paper airplanes with his new origami paper and enjoyed cutting up pages from the sky mall magazine (they always say it complimentary and please take it, so i did.. does anyone ever buy anything from sky mall?)...they both spent a lot of time drawing..
one of the neighbors was out front admiring the garden while ray and i were on the porch sharing a bottle of juice and leo was napping.. she started talking to me and of course i had to use my most often used japanese phrase (i don't understand)...so she came up to the porch and apologized that she only spoke a little english.. she said to tell my son that the garden was beautiful and i found out that she is a retired librarian she loves agriculture (gardening) and has been enjoying it since she retired a year ago.. she has either 2 daughters and one son or 2 granddaughters and one grandson... or 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren one of them a boy... she also told me she was taking a walk and she lives up the hill....at least that's what i think she told me..😁
chieko had a 2 hour (?) work party last night and casey and the boys dropped her off there last evening, she was getting a ride home afterwards.. the good citizens i have met here will not have even 1 alcoholic beverage and drive.. very commendable... ray fell asleep on the way back so i told casey to put him on my futon, it was all set up and the tatami room was cooler than his bedroom upstairs.. he slept there all night, he is a restless sleeper.. vertical, diagonal, horizontal.. repeat.. pull the covers off of nanny.. i ended up arranging some floor cushions for myself and grabbing another blanket..
today we will bake bread.
