The Positive Side of Typhoons

The one good thing about typhoons that I can think of is that if they come near Tokyo, the winds blow all the smoke, pollution and clouds away. So, after the typhoon of last Thursday, just at sunset, I walked against the wind that was still very strong to the riverside. Up the stairs on the side of the levee and there it was:
That distinctive pyramidal shape in the distance - everyone in Japan recognizes, Mt. Fuji

Feeling my age

I found out yesterday at Quilting Class why no one from the class commented on my last entry. Age is catching up again! I misspelled the address for the blog when I gave it to them. No wonder Google couldn't find it! When I was talking to her on the phone this morning, Yasuko said she read my past entries and would keep reading, so that means I have to keep writing!

Today is my birthday, lets just say I've reached a ripe old age (whatever that may mean). Yesterday for lunch, all my quilting classmates brought salads. It was colorful and wonderful and very tasty. Yasuko made an apple pie for the afternoon break. Today after prayer meeting Megumi san brought out a cake for everyone to share. It was a chocolate Swiss roll from Cozy Corner with strawberries on top and whole banana rolled up in the center.
