Not a cloud is to be seen in the sky.
What a beautiful day!
I walked to my daughter's house humming
and looking up at the sky.
I couldn't help feeling thankful for everything.
===============
By the way, my daughter bought a toy---
Amazon Alexa,
which is a smart speaker.
Alexa speaks, sings and answers my questions!
Alexa is an AI toy.
What an interesting toy it is!
Have you heard of Alexa?

It's Sunday today.
I spent Sunday morning listening to the radio
----dozing from time to time.
I'm sorry I'm getting forgetful these days.
Besides my memory is failing.
Are these signs of dementia? (認知症)
I became 79 years old on Nov. 17.
My American pen pal Anne sent me a birthday card.
It made me so happy.
Thank you so much,
Anne, my pen pal!

We are now in the best part of autumn, aren’t we?
We've had a week of clear weather.
Beautiful blue skies and colored autumn leaves
make me happy. How peaceful!
How are you enjoying your autumn days?
===============
Yesterday I went to Kokubunji to buy NHK radio English
textbooks―「英会話タイムトライアル」and 「ラジオ英会話」.
I like these textbooks very much.
Do you listen to any radio English programs?
I've been listening to the program 「ラジオ英会話」
since I was a high school girl---for 63 years!
I do like English, but I'm sorry to say I am still
a poor speaker of English.

Time really flies!
A month has passed
since I went to see my doctor last.
Today I went to him
to get my blood pressure measured.
The doctor said to me,
“Do you measure your blood pressure at home?”
“No, never,” I said
and the doctor told me to follow his advice.
Today's my blood pressure was 130—80. Good!
The doctor asked me if I had a good appetite.
I wondered if I looked thinner than before.
Yes, I have a very good appetite.
It was just a few minutes we talked,
though I wanted to talk with him much longer.
=============
When I go to see the doctor, I always think of
my husband, who was a doctor but passed away
when he was 33 years old.
If only he were alive!
