Hello there. It is a lazy Saturday afternoon. Kazuko is feeding the baby, and is about to take a nap. My mother-in-law is watching ice skating on television. I am sitting at the computer, enjoying a cup of coffee. It is such a nice relaxing day to stay inside and enjoy what we have.

I have even been able to refresh the photographs on my website. You can
take a look if you'd like.

After two long days of parent-teacher conferences on Monday and Tuesday, our Thanksgiving holiday started from Wednesday. I have been enjoying my five days at home with my family. It is nice to have the opportunity to spend the day with everyone. It will be hard to go back to work on Monday. (I am sure that the kids at school will be less-than-enthused to be back in school as well. They have had a ten-day holiday, since there wasn't school during conferences.)

I don't know what my plans for the rest of the day will be. Maybe I will have a nap with Kazuko. I think that Kazuko, my mother-in-law and I will watch a Japanese video of the TV show "Sekai Marumie." "Sekai Marumie" is one of the Japanese shows that I like to watch. Earlier today, we finished watching a two-episode tape of "Sanma's Super Karakuri Television." (That is my favorite Japanese show.) Tomorrow I may go to Saint Paul to return the videos if I have the energy. We'll see... I also have a bit of work to do at home as well.

I hope that my dear readers are having a happy day as well. Get lots of Christmas shopping done! Enjoy your weekend! Bye for now!
