Happy Birthday

I celebrated my birthday with some friends at Outback Steakhouse in Osaka. It included a birthday steak dinner and dessert, compliments of Outback.

I also received a handful of birthday cards, greetings, and e-mails. Thank you everybody!!! Randy

Cherry Blossom Walk

We took the time to view Cherry Blossoms.

What a blessing!

Aquarium Art

We visited an Aquarium Art exhibition. The pictures speak for themselves. There were special light effects, keleidoscope aquariums, designer aquariums, a fountain, a special Japanese room, and more.

Christmas with family and friends

Christmas at home in Manoa Valley

Visiting the Nuuanu Cemetary where Dad, Uncle Nobu, and Mom's side of the family are.

Chistmas wouldn't be Christmas without a Christmas worship service.

Christmas vacation in Hawaii was more like an eating festival. Mom did very little cooking while having a fun time trying out different eating places.

Mom's good friend Doris. Doris is a year older than mom at 90. We met Doris while eating at Ala Moana Food Court. Doris was going shopping and joined us for lunch. Yes, 90 years old, and still going strong.

Although we arrived in a heavy storm in Hawaii, we were greeted with warm hearts. Thank you for the good memories.
