Today was our quiet day. It was Sunday morning @8 AM in Kobe, Saturday evening @ 6 PM in North Andover so I called my family. We talked for about an hour and I was very happy to hear everyone's voice. It made me seem closer to home. The time change makes it difficult to call.
Talon and Wayne were catching up on American football after yesterday's busy golf day. Amy and I decided to go with Jennie to some recycle shops and see what could see. The recycle shops are consignment shops and have the usual items but also kimonos and obis and of all colors and sizes. We saw a rainbow of kimonos at one shop where I tried several on. They were great prices---between $5 and $30 for most of the them. The finer silk ones cost a bit more between $60 and $100.
The day was cold and breezy compared to the other days so we went home for the afternoon. After a spaghetti dinner, Amy made a real pumpkin pie with ingredients I brought her. Also we made gingerbread dough for tomorrow since we will be baking with Mirielle (Amy's French friend who's daughter lives in North Andover of all places) at her home in Osaka. Two other ladies who are Japanese will join us. The gingerbread men and ladies will be sold on Tuesday along with other baked goods at the Kobe Women's Club.
I forgot my camera today so I don't have any photos. It's okay. Tomorrow is another photo op day!
