a cooking lesson

I went to my friend home to take a cooking lesson in the morning. She taught her students and me how to cook "Bontio in carpaccio with Shimeji mushrooms source", "Pottage of soybeans", "Roasted eggplants in miso soup"and"A bowl of rice topped with salty chicken and eggs". These menus were casual, but all of them were really stylish. Her students and me took several pictures of them after cooking. We enjoyed eating and talking all the time.

My lesson

I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a hand-sewing lesson in the afternoon. Three of my students were absent in the class, so my student Shizuko and Hiroko were disappointed. But they changed the mood, and they enjoyed taking my lesson. It was a relief for me. First I taught them how to make a clay facial mask. Next I taught them how to make a small wall hanging. It was difficult to sew, so I taught them more carefully than usual. After the lesson, I served a cup of herbal tea and some sweets to them. We enjoyed talking for a while.

My lesson

My students came to my home in the afternoon. I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson to them. I taught how to make a gel cream for body and face. All of my students enjoyed making the gel cream this time, too. After the lesson, I served a cup of herbal tea and some sweets to them. We enjoyed talking and we spent a good time together.

in Niihama

The sixth anniversary of my husband's grandmother's death was held in a temple. After the chief priest said a sutra for his grandmother, my husband, my husband's mother, his relatives and me went to the memorial. We visited his grandmother's tomb. Then we went to Japanese restaurant where my husband's mother had reserved a room. We enjoyed eating the special lunch. After we went to my husband's mother's home, my husband and I walked near the home with his nephews and nieces. His nephews and nieces enjoyed playing along the seashore for a while. I took several pictures of them. My husband and I went out from my husband's mother's home at 4:00p.m. We went back home at 11:30p.m. I guessed that it was a really long distance from our home to my husband's home.

a teddy bear of my homework

I made my homework teddy bear again. I managed to finish making it before lunch. I was happy, so I took a picture of it. Then I prepared for my hand-sewing lesson. While watching TV I traced many parts on several pieces of cloth with 2 kinds of square patterns for a small wall hanging, and I cut them out. I kept preparing it except during supper time. I finished preparing it at midnight. I was really tired and I had a stiff neck, but it was a relief for me to finish it.
