 “Band Award” Leander, 2022

Koa’s high school band had their spring concert tonight. I had thought that their UIL contest performance would be the last concert for us to see, but I was mistaken. We got to see and listen to them one last time!

Besides being the final show, the band was honored with a Sousa Flag, which we’ve learned is a rare honor (only 87 have been awarded in the ~40 years of the program’s existence).

With graduation just a week away, I can confidently say that this was reall the last concert. 😀 It’s been a fun part of our kids’ school experience to watch!

 “The Big Beer” Cedar Park, 2022

Mariko brought a couple of growlers back from Colorado, but they are so huge that we were worried it would be too much for just two of us to drink at dinner, so they’ve been sitting in the fridge. Well, tonight was the night! And actually, it was a good size for two of us. 🙂

Tonight we enjoyed Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I love it! My favorite is Osaka-style, but Hiroshima style is delicious as well. I am so full… I couldn’t stop eating. 😁

こんばんは。How’s it going?

This evening Mariko made some double-deep-fried karaage. Wow. Just super. And our oldest son made a yummy green sauce to go with it. In fact, we had the green sauce, Zhong sauce, and Kewpie mayo to choose from. Karaage is a family favorite, for sure, and the homemade sauce made it extra-special. ♥️

I hope you had a great day! またね〜
