Japan!!!

I just returned home from a glorious visit with my beautiful daughter who lives in Japan. Her husband is in the Navy and so they are stationed there, although he spends more time at sea than at home. I often joke that my daughter is really stationed in Japan because she's the one who lives there full time.

While I was there, we visited Mt. Fuji and many other beautiful places. Japan truly is a breath taking nation, so lush and forested. And I love to observe the people when I visit there, they are so shy and kind. While I was there, each morning I would walk my daughter's two sheba inu dogs around her hilly neighborhood and try to get acquainted with her Japanese neighbors. I would try using the few basic phrases that my daughter and son-in-law have taught me but I have a feeling that behind my back, the Japanese nationals were giggling at my silly pronunciations. It doesn't really matter though, over all I have such great memories of this beautiful and intriguing land.

What a blessing to be able to visit my daughter and the foreign nation that she lives in. Thank you, God, for continuing to care for me and give me so many precious gifts. You are truly awesome!!
