Friday

Well after 2 hours of Karaoke which included costume changes, I finally made it home but didn't get to bed till about one o'clock. Nii san and Miura are pictured below, Nii san brings all the goodies, we all tried the hat with the fake hair. It made most of us look like 70's wanna-be rock stars.


Well after the long evening, I woke up this morning at five after seven. I usually like to be out of the house by at least 20 after. I almost screamed! Jumped up actually made it out of the house by 7:30.

Today was Christmas visitation. We went to a local day-home, sort of a day-care facility for the elderly. The 4 different classes go out to 4 different homes and put on a small show for the people and give them a small gift and Christmas card. It is always a really good experience for the kids and the elderly, there are always a number of people who are moved to tears. I took the picture below on the way back, it is the entrance to the huge shrine in Kuhonbutsu.
