went to my sisters house to celebrate my Mom’s 77th birthday! ever since we were kids, my Mom use to make us artichokes so that was on the menu. our whole family grew up loving this! 
then Tony and i went outside to pack out precious cargo. in this box is our foils.
and in this bag is our foil boards. 
this will be boarding an airplane very soon and by this weekend, we will be foiling in Bali! yeah!!!
then went back in the house for more delicious food. crab legs was another family favorite. Happy Birthday Mom! 
then came home and was still hungry so ate some colorful somen! thank you Ozaki-san and Ai-san! 
i’m getting an eye surgery soon. so the first step was to go see my doctor and get a note saying that i’m in good physical condition. when i went to my doctors office, i found out he just got a stroke and will never be coming back. omg, i was so shocked to hear that bad news. my doctor was young and so healthy. i still can’t believe what happened…
i was so happy to hear that Yoshiko-san went treasure hunting in Indonesia this past Golden Week. and she found some super nice treasure! good job girl. please keep that beach a secret…
