Today the weather was windy and much cooler, and Kuniko and I both enjoyed our day off more than usual. For Kuniko it’s pretty rare to get a day off during the weekend, let alone three in a row. It made a big difference for her to take care of everything she’s been wanting to do. For the most part we had the day to do whatever we wanted.
We did laundry and hung things out to dry on the sunny back porch. The wind made it easy for things to dry out fast. We had chili for lunch, and afterwards I made up guacamole for the dinner that evening. Everything was moving slowly, the temperature was cool so you weren’t sweating all the time, and for the first time we both got a really strong feeling of the impending fall season.
In the evening Tamura sensei and Takuma-kun came over for a taco dinner party. We sat around and ate lots of tacos, and drank lots of beer. Takuma-kun drank quite a bit, and I felt slightly guilty breaking out the whiskey for sipping afterwards. Our dessert was a combination of Japanese desserts that they had brought as omiyage and also American candy bars that my mom had sent for my birthday.
It was fun to relax with them. We took some pictures of the fun we were having, and eventually it was time to get them home. We’re hoping to get together again next month and try to make it a monthly thing.
