I know its January, Christmas is over, and so is December Photo Project, BUT... I have this great photo and I just have to share. This used to be Denny's, my hubby's favorite breakfast spot in our city. Sadly, it is now a pile of rubble. But just to be festive, the crew (I assume … Continue reading DPP :: the lost photo

Today (in no particular order): made this autumn table runner to take home, drank coffee, cried, vaccumed, folded and put away three loads of laundry, chased dust bunnies off of various surfaces, emailed, made lists. Tomorrow: we will board the shinkansen at 9 and, one train switch later, arrive at Narita airport around 11. We'll … Continue reading DPP :: twenty-two

Yesterday, some friends who recently moved to Yamagata were back in our town -- here are Jones and Keito-kun wearing the same hats that their very cool and stylish moms bought for them in separate cities. They stood in the corner like that for two minutes so we could get the camera to work -- … Continue reading DPP :: twenty-one

Blog-checkin' in the morning before class. Later, I called my best to wish her a happy happy birthday, and Jones and I ran a few errands. Four days, and counting down. I can hardly wrap my mind around the fact that American soil DOES exist, and I will be stepping foot on it shortly. These … Continue reading DPP :: nineteen

It can't be next week already! 14-hour-plane-ride-with-toddler-in-my-lap, HERE WE COME! I took this pic … Continue reading DPP :: seventeen

It is ridiculously nice outside today. Like short-sleeve-kind of nice. And so continues my it-cant-really-be-Christmas-yet alternate state of existence (read: change of Christmas scenery in seaside climate Japan). My friend Mandy gave me a gift today, just because. I wrote several times of my favorite coffee spot here in Shiz., which sadly closed its doors … Continue reading DPP :: twelve

A row of TINY shops downtown. Each little food place was probably about the size of a large American bathroom and could fit about 4 people. After all the rain, today was a BEAUTIFUL day! A perfect time to snap another shot from our neighborhood. This one is looking over the opposite edge of Youkoudai … Continue reading DPP :: catch-up

Some moms that I met at a nearby shopping center came over to have coffee and cookies today -- all three of them have 10-month-olds. This little guy just fell asleep with his mama laying next to him on the couch and slept with his feet hanging off the edge and his eyes half-open for … Continue reading DPP :: four

I think Fuji-san is one of my favorite natural sights of all time. Yes -- all time. There are few things that compare to the beauty of such an enormous mountain, standing alone and towering over all that surrounds it. I took this picture Sunday, while hangin' at a famous lookout spot in Shiz. with … Continue reading DPP :: two
