Junior College Graduation

Here are some of my students at their graduation reception. Aren't they cute?

This was my Oral Communication class. We tried to do a little jumping,

but I didn't have my good came with me.

Here's their jump. Not bad for heels and formalwear.

Here's my favorite pic of the day. This is a perfect example of Japanese girls and dessert time!!! Mmmmm......it was yummy.

Tokyo Tower

They are currently building a new tower called the Sky Tree, but I'm a fan of the original Tokyo Tower. Isn't it pretty? I love how it's red color turns orange when it's lit up at night.

Maw does Tokyo!!

Isn't she so pretty??

Cherry Blossoms Viewing Time

In Kichijoji Park

The Samurai

I spotted this samurai carrying a case of beer in Kichijoji Park.

Cherry Blossoms with Maw!

We were really lucky that Maw got to see some blossoms while she was in Tokyo. We went to Shinjuku park and this is Maw with a cherry blossom beard.

Not all of the trees were in full bloom, but we managed to find a few.

And this tree had pink blossoms and red blossoms!! It was gorgeous!!

Childhood memories

Hey Y'all! Let's go walking in the creek!

I spent most of my time between 11 and 14 stomping around in the creek on my parent's property. Isn't it gorgeous?!?!? I hadn't seen water in it in a long time, but this trip home it was full. I couldn't resist going for a little trip down memory creek.

I introduced my sister's foster kids to the joy of creek stomping-cold feet, muddy butt, and all. They loved it!

Lillian, Martin, and Nicholas had a blast! And so did I.
