Today marks the last Friday of my summer break. :( What a bittersweet week it has been. I look forward to seeing everyone at work, but of course do not look forward to doing all the paperwork again. I wish I had a little more time off. Every summer seems to go by faster and faster. As my summer comes to an end I thank the Lord for the fab summer that He has blessed my family and I with with together and spending time with family and friends at fun places and enjoying good food. This week I received several pieces of "happy mail" to bright up my mood. I received this super cute card from my friend Cathy all the way from New York along with a Starbucks NY gift card (She remembers that I collect the gift cards from around the world. )
She also sent me these delicious biscottis. (She sent me two dozen.) She is a very good baker and chef.
In the mail I also received the "Year of the Monkey" monkey from Bear the Bear that I ordered. Isn't he cute?
Before I end I want to share some pictures with you a festival that my family and I went to last week for Nesei Week. Even though it was hot we had a fabulous time. My favorites were taking a picture with Hello Kitty,
meeting a Pop artist that draws Hello Kitty,
seeing Frances Yip (She is the designer of one of my favorite t-shirts. Since she is retiring soon I asked her to autograph one of her stamps,),
seeing the Kubo exhibit (I can't wait to watch the movie.),
and seeing the huge Japanese kites.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed weekend!
You sure received some sweet happy mail. I'm sure you were all smiles opening the pkg. Despite your summer vacation coming to an end, I'm sure you had a very fun-filled summer spent with friends, family, travel, and lots of ono food. Wishing you a fabulous school year.
