1.16 – 1.21 best presentations

I asked students to talk about themselves: in the past and in the present.

There were many good talks.

My Top Three

3. Yasuko K. showed her kindergarten art.

2. Takeko O. talked about her changing dreams.

1. Junko F. talked about her struggles with shyness.

Junko was a shy little girl.                    

But there were many good talks.

Thank you, all.

Thank you, Yuko F. and Kanan M.!

wine of the week: Ginglinger Alsace Riesling

This week’s recommended wine is Paul Ginglinger’s Alsace Riesling.

Very light, very crisp, dry, with northern fruits (pear, apple) and honey.

We were very impressed.

Get it at the Fresta in Hisamatsudai.

Yesterday, my friend Sho helped me to paint the frame.

This is me, today, painting the wheels.

Next come the mattress, pillows, and blanket.

Maybe some ribbons, flowers, and teddy bears, too.

It is going to be beautiful.
