Sentinel of our Home

 We are feeling so blessed, and watched over!
Even more so now with this special being present in our new home.  Our new "digs"!!! Thank you to our long time friend Tom Matsuda for this creation for us!

Speaking of "digs"! Naomi was first to break ground at our new address on Mission Dr. 

Since I left for Japan, Taka and Naomi have planted so many of the wonderful plants we transported from our last residence.

In Japan~ I've begun to clean house once again too. Our school is going to also relocate! I'm soooo excited and happy, and so very many friends come and make this move too, all the more special.

four days to fly~

UNTIL  I fly~~ for Japan.

But here we are, happy campers in our new digs!

With my two fantastic cooking daughters~

you know how much happier, Zen, Taka and I are now!

March 2013! Moving again~ "Moving up"!!!

We now have enough space so Zen, and guests can sleep here too, because, on MONDAY, the 18th of March, Naomi flies into San Francisco airport!!! She'll be here through the summer too, Sheon too... and here in our new place they have their own rooms~now we all can be COMFY!
We also are very near town, we can walk and bike to places so close by~

But I'm still soooooooooooo busy moving and cleaning the other house, before... before I go to JAPAN TOO!!!! SOOOOON!!!
Unfortunately not soon enough to see my oldest boy,

I am sooooo proud and happy for him. I hate not being there.

Ischin- you have worked hard. This is such a magnificent achievement!
