It's Saturday today and I have plenty of time.
I've had a very busy week.
I was tired and my spirits were drooping last evening
when I visited my grandchildren.
They had a concert for me in their studio.
My granddaughter, koharu, played my favorite song
'Country Road' on the piano, then on the recorder, for me.
Her playing made me happy and cheerful.
My grandson played jazz music 'Mornin' on the piano.
My granddaughter koharu and I stood up and tapped out
the beat. It might be a joyful sight. I was excited!
Jazz is really wonderful.
I felt refreshed in mind and body.
Thank you very much, Grandchildren.
I love you so much.
I went shopping at a supermarket in the evening
--around 6:00p.m.
I saw oshiroi-bana along tamagawa-josui.
I know oshiroi-bana is called 'Four o'clock' in English.
Is it because that oshiroi-bana's buds open around 4:00p.m.?
My granddaughter, koharu, said to me,
"I'm afraid you are using too many ko・so・a・do words.
Are you all right? I hope you'll live as long as possible
with a good memory, Grandma."
I said to her, "Oh, I'm sorry. You don't understand me.
I'll try not to use ko・so・a・do words,
though it may be very difficult for me. "
koharu is making great progress with her Japanese.
karin is getting old and trying hard to catch up with her.
