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.

The Yuzu cake

I went to my parent's home in the afternoon. My mother gave me a cup of  tea and a piece of cake. She told me that she made the cake the day before yesterday. She took a few Yuzu fruits from my Yuzu tree, then she squeezed juice out of a Yuzu and she cut a Yuzu skin. The cake was really good and smelt and was delicious.

Homecoming

My husband and I got home at 8:00 p.m. I felt the time passed in an instant for 4 days. I was satisfied with my travel. I have sore muscles on my legs. Maybe I guess I walked a lot during my travel.
