happy days in Niigata

Last Thursday, after having harmonica lessons in the morning,
I hurried to Tokyo Station and took the 3:12 Joetsu Shinkansen.

When I arrived in Niigata, the sun was still shining.
I bought a lot of food and hurried to my home.

What shall I do? The lock is jammed!
Anyhow I managed to open a lock with my key.
I came into the house, opened all the windows
and let fresh air in.

The next day I did the house cleaning.
I was dead tired.

My daughter and koharu came to Niigata after an interval
of several years.
We took a local train and visited my husband's graveyard.
How happy my husband was to see our daughter and granddaughter!

koharu was excited to take a local train--a box seat train.
koharu was excited to see green rice fields.
koharu was excited to walk in the pinewoods behind my house.
koharu was excited to swim in the sea.

koharu said, "Oh, I love Niigata!"
koharu said, "I would like to live in this house in future."

I enjoyed busy and happy days in Niigata.
