Hi, everyone! I just thought that I would type a little in this blog, even though it’s really late. Thursday is a busy day for me, but I have some great lessons.

Well, my brother and sister-in-law are safely back in America. We enjoyed the Nagasaki area and Tokyo. Omura is a big city compared to where they live (population 3000). Tokyo was overwhelming! People running and rushing everywhere…crowding the trains….always moving and jostling…. I was very happy to return to little old Omura. My brother would like to visit again, someday.

Many of you have seen our new friend: SANTA CLAUS! He’s outside the house and stands about 4.5 meters tall. He came all the way from America to help put us in the Christmas spirit. Say “hi” next time you see him!

That’s all for now. I hope you will all stay warm, dry and healthy in spite of this terrible weather.

Have a wonderful week!
