Japan

I was in Japan for 2 weeks.

I had a great time with my family and friends in Japan.

While I was there, my baby niece was born two days after my birthday!! I had the honor to name her. Her name is Wakaba, which means "a baby (young) leaf" in Japanese. It was the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. Sounds cute too, doesn't it??

Well, I am back in US again.

Even though it is far from here, I am always thankful to have a place to go back and to be welcomed. :-)

Satsuki

It was my birthday today.

The day I was born, this flower "Satsuki", which is Azalea in English was all over in our garden. I was named after this flower.

This flower was blooming again this year.....
