Gonta

I went to my father's home in the morning. I walked Gonta at once after I got home. After lunch, I was reading a book for a while. Gonta was taking a nap beside me as usual. He sometimes snored and he seemed to be happy, so I took a picture of him. Then I walked him and I played with him as usual. After I left my father's home, I went to Omiya to meet my friend Mika. We had dinner at her favorite Italian restaurant where she had reserved a table. We enjoyed talking and eating for about 4 hours.

a cooking lesson

I went to my friend's home to take a cooking lesson in the morning. She taught her students and me how to cook "Special Japanese soup for new year", " Simmered pork and Chinese cabbage", "egg and bean curd skin(=Yuba) cooked with rice"and "paprika and ham cake". It was difficult for me to make a chrysanthemum with a turnip. The chrysanthemum was steamed and it was simmered in a special Japanese soup. All of the cooking was beautiful this time, too. All of her students and me took some pictures of them. Then we enjoyed eating them and we enjoyed talking.

My student's teddy bear

My student Terumi came to my home in the evening. I met her for the first time in 5 months. I gave a teddy bear making lesson to her. She showed me her teddy bear which was her homework. It was very cute, so I took a picture of it. Then I taught her how to make a new teddy bear. While making it she enjoyed talking with me all the time.

My lesson and a sample

My student Yumiko came to my home in the afternoon. I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson in the afternoon. She enjoyed making a cream for shoes. After the lesson, I made herbal tea for her and I gave it to her. We enjoyed talking for a while.
After supper I made a sample for my hand-sewing lesson. I made it little by little everyday. I finally finished making it, so I was really happy and I took a picture of it.
