Even though it’s warm inside the room, I’ve been surprised by how cold it is when I step outside these past few days. I had fun writing “Winter Morning” in Japanese calligraphy. (Michiko)
It’s the season to be jolly .. Christmas is fast approaching and the backdrop is filled with Christmas decorations and cheer .. everywhere from the stations to the shops and around town Christmas can be felt .. it’s a wonderful time .. and I’m excited to be going up to the gold coast with Bali next Monday for our annual family get together
Preparing for a winter resort. I’m preparing for hibernation. I went shopping for daily necessities to keep my legs warm in a warm room. I also found a 100% sheepskin mouton. The big ones are expensive, so I bought a mini size. My bottom is nice and warm on the chair. I always enjoy chatting at this Futon store as well. (Michiko)
After going to the hair salon, it was time for lunch. I ate a big Margherita pizza at the Italian restaurant on the 8th floor of Saikaya. I like the thin crust pizza here. (Michiko)
Good friends in Honolulu. This photo was taken in 1996 at the NACOS office. Dolce and his good friends Muffin and Cookie. Bridgette and I were in the same building, next door to each other. Company owners were allowed to bring pets to our offices. (Michiko)
This fall, I performed for the first time at the Shonandai Station Underground Passage Plaza (twice on violin and twice on piano). Each time, I asked the people there to take photos with my digital camera. (Michiko)
This is a photo of Christmas in Hawaii, Dolce and I. It’s been such a warm first week of December, like a calm and warm New Year’s, or the beginning of autumn. (Michiko)
