I told a vegan friend at the gym, “Happy Tofurky Day,” but she didn’t catch it. My sister got a complete dinner from New Seasons (which, I understand, is a local grocery chain) and it was great! Since my mom came back from Japan today, it was me, ma, pa, Mariko, and her husband Peter.
You’ll notice that there are some gifts my mom brought back from Japan. You may notice the shochu and the sweets on the table. She also brought me a new camera! I think they’re cheaper here but she got a color that isn’t available in the US, and the instructions and the menus are all in Japanese.
You can also see the toys my pa got:
and his “Drip On” instant coffee, displayed by my sister.
I figure while we’re at it, here’s a picture of my sister and her husband, and one of their dog Dede.
No pictures of me, my dad (who was being cranky when I tried to take his picture) or my mom (whose picture I forgot to take!)
Well, that’s about enough for now. Since I didn’t go to the gym last night, I went this morning. Not only that, but I’m sore from standing on a wobbly board and having Dave the Trainer throw a medicine ball at me.
