4 frames

I put many mother's pictures in a frame. I decorated 4 frames. Each theme was "Mountain - climbing","Friends","My mother and Gonta","My mother and my trip". I have many good memories of my mother. I'm going to hang the frames on my mother's altar's room wall tomorrow.

Gonta

My husband and I went to my father's home in the afternoon. After I did the housework, we walked Gonta. We walked along the Iruma River near my father's house. Sometimes Gonta looked at my husband, and sometimes he looked at me. He looked happy. We got home, then my husband and I played with Gonta. Gonta was in high spirits. When my husband and I left the house, Gonta looked sadly at us. "Bye-bye, Gonta. See you the day after tomorrow.", I said. I wish I could bring Gonta our house.

Shopping

My husband and I went to Ikebukuro to buy our christmas presents. He bought himself a digital media player with a TV. I bought myself a humidification machine. The store was crowded, so we had to stand in line to pay for them. There were many people in Ikebukuro, too. After shopping, we went home soon by bus.

a tiny teddy bear

I sewed a tiny teddy bear which is the sample for my teddy bear making lesson in the afternoon. I finished it, so it relieved me. Because I'll give a teddy bear making lesson tomorrow. I took some pictures of it.

Ginkgo festival

My husband and I went to Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo festival in the afternoon. The Ginkgo trees leaves had turned a more perfect yellow than 2 weeks ago. He was intent on taking pictures of them. We walked from there to Yoyogi, and then we went to Ikebukuro by train. After diner, we walked from Ikebukuro to our house. Maybe we walked more than ten thousand steps.

One day trip

My mother and I got up early, and then we went to Hakone. We dozed off in the train, so we felt that we got to Hakoneyumoto to station in a short time. We went to the Hakone Glass Forest ( Venetian Glass Museum). I've been there 2 times, but I thought that the museum is a really nice place whenever I go to there. We went to the Hakone begonia garden. We have been there before, but we had not been there in the christmas season before. I was absorbed in taking many pictures there. We were really tired, but we spent a good time. My mother said to me that she would like to go to Hakone next spring.  

Gonta

3 gardeners came to my parent's home in the afternoon. While they were working in the garden, I took Gonta in the entrance. He got into mischief there, so I had to watch him. After the 3 gardeners had left, I took Gonta to the garden. He ran through the garden happily. The garden was really clean.
