CELEBRATING MY LAST NIGHT IN MISAWA

When I woke up this morning before I got out of bed I realized that my stay in Misawa was almost over. Immediately I got a nostalgic knot in my stomach because I will be sad to leave. BUT not for long because as usual Ginger had a big day planned so we kept busy with exercise, soccer games, grocery shopping etc. Then of course because it was my last night here Ginger planned to celebrate. She combined Mother's Day and a going away dinner at a local popular Japanese restaurant and invited some of her friend's who also had a grandmother visiting. The food was just scrumptious and I ordered everything that my taste buds were desiring which was yakisoba, fried squid with black pepper, dragon sushi, and tempura. I left totally satisfied. A wonderful Mother's Day gift. Thanks Ginger and Ryan!! :)




Well, Ginger had one more thing on her list of "must do with MoM" and that was Karaoke. So we left the restaurant and went to the local Karaoke hot spot and rented a room for an hour with friends. We sang to our hearts content, clapped our hands, tried to harmonize and reach notes that didn't exactly come out right. We had FUN! I can now scratch "singing Karaoke in Japan," off my list of things to do before I turn 60 May 31st.






Ginger and I will be heading for Tokyo tomorrow after Church to spend the rest of my time in Japan. We will tour parts of Tokyo Monday and then go to the Temple on Tuesday morning and after that I will head for the Airport to fly out at 3:30pm and Ginger will head back to Misawa to her family.
