a cold busy day

I was so busy yesterday.

In Tokyo area, we had the first November snowfall
in 54 years.



According to the radio news, the Ome and
Chuo lines were suspended.

I was wondering if my daughter's family could go
to work or school.

All of them have to take the train daily to go there.

Suddenly I had a phone call from my daughter.

“The washing machine has suddenly stopped and
will not work while the clothes are being washed.

I'll bring these wet clothes to you, and will you
do the washing for me?”

I know she is very busy every morning.
She has to do many things before going to university.

So I myself hurried to her house and brought the washing
for a family of four to my apartment.

My washing machine is a small one and I did the washing
three times!

I went to my daughter's house and back three times a day
walking the snowy slippery road.

I was glad I am good at walking on the snowy road.
I was glad to be able to help my daughter.

“A new washing machine will arrive tomorrow,”
she said this morning. She bought a new one.

==============

By the way, my belated birthday party was held
at my daughter's the day before yesterday.

It was the only day all family could get together
for dinner. They are all very busy every day.

Oh, how beautiful their bithday song for me
in a vocal quartette!

Thank you so much, my dearest ones!
