Old Town VA

妹のジェニーと一緒.似てるでしょ?

Today my mom and I went to a place called OLD TOWN located in Alexandria, VA.   The

bus ride from my sister’s place to Old Town was so much fun!!  We enjoyed ourselves doing lots of shopping and sight seeing the beautiful historical town where there are tons of antique shops,  museums and fancy restaurants.   Here are some of the photos taken by my mobile phone. …Oh, 

      my sister who currently moved here from Tokyo met up with us after work…enjoy!!

Thanks to my brother in law, Atsushi for looking after 4 wild kids!!!

My family on location for "Ladies 4" on TV Tokyo (TX)


My husband George and I were the guests on “Ladies 4″ on TV Tokyo (TX) on May 13th.

The camera crew followed us around all day long, filming me in the garden, taking care of the dogs and the kids.  In the evening, we all went to the radio station to watch George do his program .It was the first time the kids got to see their dad working for the first time ever. It was a lot of fun…but pretty tiring.

Hope you saw it.

Rosie



ロージー



Hi everyone!

Let me introduce you my cute little kitty, Rosie.  Rosie was left abandoned a few days ago near Tamagawa. Out in the cold, I couldn’t bear the thought of  leaving her alone.  We fell in love with her instantly and took her home.  My daughter, a total cat lover, decided to name her Rosie.  She is absolultely adorable and gets along with Suzie and Quattro.



スージー大好きにやあ〜ん!!




ロージーもお散歩!!





すっかり社長気分。。。

シルビアと私

久しぶりの再会

Some may already know this pretty girl to my right. Her name is Silvia and she has been modeling her entire career.  She and I have been friends since elementary school.  Both of us went to different international schools here in Tokyo but we used to work together as child models for many years.  Silvia is still beautiful and just so charming as I have always remembered…It was great re uniting with her!!

また遊びに来てね!!

nail art!


どう??

キラキラ。。。今回は私のラッキーカラー緑。。。



ジェイジェイの足の爪も完成!



友達のジェイジェイ。。本名は今村ひろこです!



This girl here is my friend JJ .

I do her nails usually once a

month.  This is another hobby of mine: nail art!!

I used to get my nails done professionally, but if you know me well enough I always like to challenge new things…especially when it is art related!

sakura!!




家族4人で。。。


多摩川で。。。




Last week my family and I spend the weekend hanging out with the kids.

We took them down by the river bed by our house.

Vivienne and Alex went nuts and played non stop with the sleigh!









多摩川の土手で滑り台。。。


The cherry tree above was taken this morning near my house while taking the doggies on a walk.

Still a little chilly  but I couldn’t help myself taking a couple of shots of the beautiful sakura trees!  There are already tons of people gathered around the Tamagawadai Park to enjoy the yearly ‘Ohanami’ where basically everyone parties over drinks and karaokes under the cherry trees!



チーズ!!



Lunch at Katcha’s house

Today I had lunch at Katcha’s place.  Katcha and I have been best  friends for over 30 years!

We enjoyed ourselves over cookies and coffee outside her beautiful balcony.

Here are some random shots I took today of her cute dog Latte and her recently new addition to the family, Tora kun the bird.

For lunch, Katcha made me a delicious Russian dish called Perimeni!

最高に楽しい一日でした。

カーチャありがとう!
