 “Bay and I” Round Rock, 2019

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today was Bay’s last “normal” day with me before he heads to college, and we spent the morning shopping at IKEA for a few last-minute dorm items. It was fun, but I was a little sad because I knew this would be the last time for a while that I would get to hang out with him. 😢

For dinner, Bay requested that I make spaghetti with meatballs. Since this is his “last meal” I was surprised that he asked me to make it, since Mariko is 100x a better cook than I am. So that made me kind of happy inside. 😌

 “New Band Kick-off” Cedar Park, 2019

This evening, Koa’s High School Band held their Parent Preview Concert at the nearby stadium. Last year, they had an amazing program and this year looks great as well. They have already worked hard in preparation for the marching season and it sounds amazing, but the important thing is that the kids seem to be having fun as they learn. Inspiring for all the parents to see their kids putting in the hard work and realizing the results. 👍

I hope you had a good day!

 “Fuchico on the Temaki” Cedar Park, 2019

It’s a temaki sushi dinner evening! I prefer nigiri sushi, but temaki sushi is wonderful too. I mean, nigiri is a 10, and temaki hand roll sushi is a 9… so both are great. 😀

I hope you had a nice day!

 “Waiting” Georgetown, 2019

こんばんは。This morning, Koa and I headed to the DPS (Department of Public Safety) to get his driving learner’s permit. The wait at these places is pretty crazy, especially in summer, so we arrived before it opened and got in line. After a few technical snafu’s, I finally got the documents in order and Koa was able to get his permit!

Now begins the fun part… actually hitting the road. 😱

But seriously, teaching Bay wasn’t too difficult so I am not expecting anything crazy with Koa. Vroom vroom!

 “Buddha and Cats” Cedar Park, 2019

Today’s photo is one of those “11:59” snapshots. I’ve been taking daily photos (started as a 365 project years ago) and sometimes, I haven’t taken a photo until the day is almost over. So, the last minute photo is an “11:59” photo. 😄 In our home office, we have a few figurines on the shelf next to some framed photos.

I hope you had a nice day!
