Friend comes home

Today our friend Kara came to our home.

We showed her Japanese hinamatsuri doll.

That was first time to look directly for her, so she was excited.

She already know Japanese boy's festival, in Japan we have that May 5th with displaying carp at out side.

We bring carp display from Japan, and we will set up it under the Boise's sun!

Hinamatsuri

Today it is March 3rd, Hinamatsuri day so Ritsuko also had Hinamatsuri party at Tossy's home.

They had nice lunch, looks very nice on the other hand I had lunch-box which was made by Ritsuko of course it was nice too, in my desk after lunch time soccer.And that luch time we had hail and it hit all of players, but after that we could have clear sky and good game!

Today we family already had Hinamatsuri party so, we took only picture in front of the doll.

They had lots of smile and I could take good picture!

Sunny Saturday

This morning I went to wood craft shop and got some materials for turning projects.

Mechanical pencil kit, Ikebana, cup, blank woods and pepper mill set.

After that I went to Lucky Peak to get Kokanee for 3 hours, but I did not have any result....

I saw a kind of raptor, he flew very sedately but could not take a picture, what a pity!

After lunch, I went to neighborhood pond for fishing again with Haruki and Minami.

Already an old couple was fishing and got small fish!

We tried, but nothing afresh, only water weed....But Haruki and Minami had lots of fan.

They want to their fish rod.

We had Hinamatsuri party at dinner with Temaki-sushi.

All kids love Temaki-sushi and enjoy it.

That item was purchased from Alaska by mail order.

Ritsuko also made special cake!

They ate it with big smile.

Thank you Ritsuko!

Set up dolls

March 3rd is the Japanese Doll Festival, Hina Matsuri.

My wife had preparation to set up and display doll in the room.

In my wife's home, when she was young her parents prepare 7th-tiered Hina doll.

They might have very hard work!

Otomi try to tamper with them almost everyday....

I hope dolls will be not broken until she grow up and recognize them.
