My Japanese relatives, aunt Takako and uncle Eimei sent me a gift recently ! There were two items with aunt Takako's hand written message letter in the box, when I opened it.   Hand written letters always make me feel warm.  Since last year, I stopped doing hand writing letters and started using digital writing by computer when I sent messages to my relatives who live in Japan. It looked cold, but it's convenient when I made an error, I can easy to edit it and fix it. But from now on, I want to hand write it by myself again. One of their gifts to me is Miso soup . Very creative and unique.  I've never seen this kind of miso soup. Another one is a special stamp book which is the image of beautiful Mr.Fuji, which is limited quantities. I love both of their gift items but what made me delighted even more may be their sweet consideration to me. Taking an action for choosing the item, imagining what I may like. It's from love, action...

In the valentines day we discovered that a combination of Bordeaux wine & Godiva Chocolate pecan caramel Sundae Dessert truffles make our feeling extremely happy! It's sooooo delicious ! and the wonderful feeling stays long time. Bordeaux white wine ( French ) has been my top favorite wine so far. It's very unique and rich and very well balanced taste, so I've been enjoying drinking it often. My husband also loves this wine but his favorite wine right now is an Italian wine called Bianco. I didn't have habit to drink wine until last year, and I didn't know but now I really understand why French people and Italian people have a habit to drink wine with meals every day. In their descriptions of each wine , it always shows which wine fits with what kind of meal. They know which wine matches with what food.  When we eat a meal with a wine which matches with it, the taste expands, and we can get even more happy delicious feeling. I know...

We are really into classic movies recently ! We haven't seen much new movies since several years ago because of other interests. Also, we noticed that in the more recent movies  there were too many digital types of effects and movements, which I felt were very unnatural. While I appreciate nowadays high technology, I felt there has been a decreasing warmth and decreasing heart felt feeling whenever I watched recent films or listening to digital music songs. After re-watching the famous classic movie " Gone with the wind " , we also watched Vivien Leigh 's other movie  " Waterloo Bridge " last weekend. My review - Waterloo Bridge   I really love this movie ! This was my second time to watch this movie and it was first time for my husband. I first saw this movie a long time ago, before seeing " Gone with the wind " . I don't remember when, but it was more than 30 years ago, my mother and my step-father were watchin...

It was so exciting and thrilling to watch US Nationals Figure skating competitions this year ! I really liked how NBC covered all the US nationals events. It was also great to see Terry Gannon, Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski  back together again for the commentary ! Because they are so fun and makes me feel great so I really love watching these three together's appearance. Also, it was enjoyable to watch the scenes with many skaters's impressive Kiss & Cry moments during the events. I thank you to NBC ! About the events, My favorite events were men's and ice dancing this year. Men Men's competition, winner was unpredictable seeing the results of Grand Prix Series. No one was qualified for GPF this season, so I thought Jason Brown, Jeremy Abbott, Max Aaron, Richard Dornbush, Adam Rippon, Joshua Farris,   anyone of them could win. Result 1    Jason Brown      SP: 93.36   FP:181.62  ...
