Time flies.
It is five years since a big earthquake struck
the Chuetsu area in Niigata on Oct.23, 2004.
I was born and brought up in Chuetsu until I was 18.
The earthquake did a great deal of damage.
My parents' graveyard was almost destroyed then.
I hope that all the sufferers are doing better.
I feel very busy this October--
with a trip to Shinshu,
with kominkan-matsuri,
with koharu's undo-kai,
with attending concerts,
with circle activities, etc.
koharu is now in the 4th grade in her elementary school.
koharu comes home late.
koharu plays with some of her friends when she can.
I am happy koharu is getting stronger in mind and body.
