17 packages

I sent 17 packages to my mother's friends. I couldn't carry them, so I gave them to a clerk of an express courier company. The packages were keepsakes from my mother. I wrote some messages on message cards to each of them.

2 pouches

I sewed 2 pouches for my mother's friends in the afternoon. My mother had asked me to sew those before she died. She chose the cloth, and she cut it, then she sewed them. But her disease got worse, she couldn't finish her work. I didn't know how to sew the pouch, so I asked her its the way she showed me how to sew before she died. I finally finished sewing them, so I was happy and I took a picture of them.

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.
