Change in schedule

I'm sorry that I haven't posted a blog in quite some time.  I mentioned our friends from Grand Rapids, Gary and Gina, came for a visit.  Soon after they left, my sister, Barb, from Ohio came.  Barb and I flew back to the US on June 13th.  Back at home I spent 7 lovely and fast weeks.  Bill flew home for a short 2 week visit.  We both flew back to Tokyo on Aug. 3rd.

Now for the news.  As many of you already know, Bill's assignment will be over sooner than we thought.  We will be leaving Tokyo at the end of September.  We have so much we still want to do.  We are very happy that our adult children, David and Katie, will still be able to visit us for 10 days in mid September.

I have many blogs that need to be posted in the next few weeks before David and Katie visit.  Some of the locations that we visited, we did with multiple guests.  I might combine those into one posting even thought the events took place at different times.

Thanks for being patient with me.
