on the 29th of December

At this busy period at the end of the year,
I am not busy at all.

My daughter’s college was closed yesterday
and will open on January 4th.

So I have nothing to do at my daughter’s house.

I could help her with housework but she asks me
to relax and be her guest when she is at home.

What a lovely day!

I had much time to spare.

I cleaned my house.

I did the washing.

In the afternoon I went out for a walk and happened
to see an optician’s wife, whom I haven't seen long
since I moved to this apartment.

We went to their store and had a lively conversation there.
The owner and his wife like talking very much.

They are the very first good friends of mine in Tokyo.

First I was one of their customers, and soon we became
good friends---17 years ago.

After talking a lot at the store, the owner's wife wanted
to go for a walk with me.

So we enjoyed walking along Tamagawa-josui.

We said good-bye each other near my daughter's house.

Yes, I had a good day.
Thank you very much, Mr.and Mrs. T.





Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!
