Their last KFS

Dad, can my friend join our fishing?

Well, yes she can, sweetie.

Caught first one.



Waiting for its bite seriously



Close to catch





K's English lesson got started

I got it.

Have a fun time there!

Her favorite KFS

She is missing KFS' closing very much.

Today she tried sight fishing in short range mainly, because it was too windy.

She did great job, caught 7 big ones and many smalls in 2 hours by herself without any my help.

It seems that I need to find alternative good fishing field for her immediately...

Our lucky bird day

We found nice spot to watch the wild bird today.

SHIME, Hawfinch, long time no see!

And KAWASEMI, Common Kingfisher, as our idol. My daughter was so exited to see it too.

We loved its orange color so much.

It showed us the hovering also!!!

See you soon.

Her long toe

takes after her dad and grandpa undoubtedly.

We ordered them just in memory of her birth. If you are interested in it, check it now.

Cold morning

We've been having cold days recently.

I found the frost only in the shade of the park.

Hope my friends living north are doing fine.

OMIKUJI,

a written oracle of this year was SUEKICHI, good fortune in the future.

You know well, god. I definitely agree that...

Just patient, Lance!

Her HATSU_TSURI

was tough at SFP. So I helped her to cast and set a hook today.

She said that KFS was much better for her.

When I attached the link of KFS, noticed just now that it would be closed the end of this month! And member's card will be expired also. We can get 2 hours free coupon if we go there only once more. Which means...

Our New Year's

Happy new year, to all! We had busy but peaceful new year days here.

We tried to fly a kite which my dad made and she painted before.











We found that it was not well-balanced, a kite tail should be attached next time.





She was busy for practice of riding a unicycle.







Our first new bird of this year was TAHIBARI, Rock Pipit. We saw it on the way to home after our first visit of the year to a shrine.











A large bevy of KAWARAHIWA,Oriental Greenfinch.

One night of TOUJI; Thank you, my real friends

It was TOUJI, the winter solstice today. In Japan, we usually eat the pumpkin and take a hot citron bath for sound health of family all.

By the way, I had a YAKINIKU party with my fishing friends today also. It was my best party of this year.

To tell the truth, I've been depressed so much recently, because of my serious failure. Actually I lost one of my friends whom I spent same time in Boise, because of it.

They, my fishing friends said, " Lance, you were definitely wrong, but basically it takes two to make a quarrel. You must think it over well, but don't worry yourself about such a trifles".

I was really, really encouraged by their advise. Thank you my real friends, and I would like to be a man whom you guys want.

SHICHIGOSAN and OMIYAMAIRI

We had a festival for her seven years of age today with her both grand parents today.

And it was her first visit to the local shrine also.

We loved it.

SU-ENAGA(Long-tailed Tit)-KU!
