koharu, my granddaughter, is a first year
high school student.
At this time of the year, high school students
have the midterm examination.
koharu comes home earlier than usual
during the midterm examination—four days.
Yesterday she came home around 2:00p.m.
“Hello, Mom! I'm home!” koharu said
opening the door.
“Oh, you miss Mom, don't you, koharu?
Your mother is busy studying at university
and will be late coming home.
You want her to stay at home,
don't you, koharu?”
“Oh, NO. If Mom stays at home alone,
I always worry what if anything wrong
has happened to her.
Mom studies at university now and her classmates
will help her if anything wrong has happened to her.
I don't mind Mom coming home late
if she enjoys her life at university.”
I am happy to find my little girl has grown up
into a thoughtful high school girl.

I woke up early this morning.
I felt very good.
I had breakfast at half past seven—
30 minutes earlier than usual.
Oh, what a fine day!
The forecast predicted rain tomorrow.
And I decided to join‘Green Road Walking Club’.
I enjoyed walking in Tachikawa City.
I often go to Tachikawa to visit Showa Kinen Park
and to see movies at Tachikawa Cinema.
I know nothing of other places in Tachikawa.
I was happy I had a chance to enjoy walking
in Tachikawa today.
(today's schedule)
国分寺駅 ⇒ 立川駅 ⇒ 諏訪神社 ⇒ 普済寺 ⇒青柳段丘⇒
根川緑道（昼食）⇒ 日野の渡し跡 ⇒ 根川貝殻坂橋 ⇒
矢川緑地保全地域 ⇒ 立川駅 ⇒ 国分寺駅
We 16 members met at Kokubunji at 9:30.
We started to walk from Tachikawa Station
about 10:00 and had lunch at 11:30.
On the way back to Tachikawa Station 9 of us ladies
had a coffee break at McDonald's.
I had a glass of コーク・マックフロート.
The short rest refreshed us completely and we walked
to Tachikawa Station.
I did not take so many pictures today.
I enjoyed walking and sweated a lot.
I walked 16672 steps today.

Last Saturday I watched an American movie
titled ‘Cinderella’ at Tachikawa Cinema 2.
I saw ‘Cinderella’ in English version.
We all know the story
and that of the movie was the same.
I suppose some of the audience may have found
the movie boring.
But I enjoyed the movie so much.
Every scene was so beautiful.
I enjoyed myself in Fairyland.
Am I simple-minded?
English spoken in the movie was very clear
and easy to understand.
The most impressive words were —
‘Have courage and be kind.’
This was told by Cinderella’s mother before her death.
I wrote down this sentence in my note.
---------------
The movie studio had 180 seats.
It was filled with young couples and young ladies.
I saw no elderly people!
I guess many of them are fans of Disney world.
I said to a young lady who sat next to me in English,
“How many times have you ever been to TDL or TDS?”
She said to me in English, “Oh, how many---I don’t remember.
I go there at least twice a year.
Disney world has been my favorite since my childhood.”
By the way, I've been to TDL only once.

On May 1
I saw a big mulberry tree
along Tamagawa-josui.
Yesterday
I found the ripe mulberries on the tree.
Where have my days gone
when I picked mulberries from trees?
What sweet and sour memories!

On May 7
I worked as a volunteer waitress at the café
in my community.
A lot of people came and enjoyed drinks and
talking in the café, as it had been closed
during GW holidays.
I was very happy to see them, though I was busy.
On May 8
I attended Friday English Class at Kominkan.
We enjoyed talking in English and playing the game
of guessing English words.
Our new American teacher is a very young lady in her
twenties.
She is doing her work very well, I think.
On May 9
It was an open day at koharu's high school.
koharu is my granddaughter.
I went to her high school for the first time
and observed three classes in English.
I was sorry one of the teachers spoke in a low, dry voice
and I could hardly hear him.
I was surprised to find almost all students had prepared
for lessons at home.
They have no school uniform.
Her school has no rules except that they must not come
to school in 下駄.
On May 10
My friend in my elementary school days came
to see me from Kawasaki. It was 5 years since we met last.
We had lunch at 歌行燈 in Tachikawa-Isetan, walked and
talked a lot in Showa Kinen Park.
How we talked!
We were thankful to have lived to be 72.
We promised to see each other again.
I always make myself busy
and I like my way of life.
I remember a saying---
Try to keep yourself busy.
That's the best way to stay cheerful.
I forgot completely that May 10 was Mother's Day.
The typhoon is approaching!

Yesterday HK-san and I went
to Showa Kinen Park in Tachikawa.
HK-san, who has been taking care of her parents
at home, wanted to go out to be refreshed.
So, I took her to Showa Kinen Park.
She said she had never been there except
in the season of Christmas lights.
It was last November I visited Showa Kinen Park last.
Oh, the park turned into a luxuriant green!
I was glad to see a lot of families in みんなの原っぱ.
We had onigiri-lunch there.
Then we went to 日本庭園.
HK-san was surprised to know there is a big
and beautiful Japanese garden in the park.
I took her to こもれびの里 and こもれびの丘, too.
On the way back we dropped by Takashimaya
Department Store and had French toast with ice cream and tea.
It was very good.
We talked and walked a lot.
HK-san and I had a wonderful day!
I walked 20330 steps yesterday.
