      I am so happy to see the orchid that was a gift from my husband in my last birthday ( Last July ),   bloomed again recently. When we got it, I was searching about how to take care of orchid plants online and followed what it said.    and also bought " all purpose plant food " for it  and gave it to the orchid. However within a few weeks, the flower started dying one after the other, so I stopped giving it , but maybe it was too late?  it all died soon except the leaves . All the leaves looked fine and was still shining so I kept it and  was giving small amount of water once every 10 days. It was about 7 month ago,  and  I didn't expect it will bloom again, so it's so wonderful to see it bloomed beautifully again ! I was just giving only normal tap water every 10 days or once a week , and never gave special plant foods since all the flowers died and came off,    then about 6 month later I saw three buds in the stem,  and then Orchids  bloomed from the buds this m

    Happy New year ! 2020 was a really strange, unforgettable year for us and we suppose for everyone.   Because so many unusual things had happened.  I was feeling like  " is it real ?    it's a joke, right ?   " Coronavirus problem is still there in most places in the world, so people can not go travel abroad easily. and have to wear face mask when going out. Last year,  there was mass hoarding of basic necessities  ( such as toilet papers, tissues, paper towels ),  Lock-down,  Working at home, etc ... I suppose it's a big changing year , generation shifts.   As the next Jupiter-Saturn conjunction (21 December 2020) marks an elemental shift (or mutation) from earth to air. Earth generation ended in December 21' 2020 , and after that Air generation has come.   Our views of life and what we value will change.   Until December 21' 2020  from 200 years ago ( Earth generation time period ),  material things, authority and money were valued. and after December 2

We bought three lottery scratchers recently,  and my hubby played two of them and I played one of them. As a result,  my hubby's lottery scratchers didn't win. However,  I got this result below, When I scratched first one, I saw the number "1",  so  Oh, I won $1, then I scratched next one, and saw the number "1" again,   so  " Oh,  I won another one, total of $4 !.   and then I revealed next to next,  and  another "1 " and another and another and another....    and as a result, got all number "1 " !!! I've never got such a result in the past  so I was very surprised ! What is it ??? and then I showed it to my hubby. He said " oh , wow,  you won total of $30 (USD) !  "   But more than the amount I won, I was wondering what 's the meaning of these repeat numbers ???   I know about angel numbers and there is a sign from the universe based on the number. 1 X 10,    1111111111 So I checked the meaning of it. But I could

  Beautiful day ! We went shopping to buy our home sandals/ slippers last weekend. I love this mountain view from this area !  Scenery here is awesome surrounded by many nature.  About a few months ago, I ordered a pair of room sandals / slippers online , and  the shipment arrived here recently. My order was shipped from China so it took a long time to be delivered because of COVID-19 problem. I thought these sandals / slippers are gorgeous and many reviews were positive, so I bought them.      Glitter design sandals seems trendy this year. However, these make my feet hurt even to just wear them. There are bumps based on the feet shape.  and these are hard so it's not comfortable as well. But these are very beautiful so I wanted to wear them but I could not wear even 1 hour. So I gave up and decided to buy new one which are fit with my feet. My husband also needed summer slippers so we went shopping for them. While looking around the stores, I found many sa

Searching and watching Youtube videos has been my daily habit.  It's so great and so convenient that I can find anything I want in it.  Recently I've been into exercise videos to shape up my body and for my health. and have been doing some exercises since about a month ago.  My husband started working at home since April and he also joined one of the exercises in his break time.  I tried several exercise videos and realized the most important thing is I can enjoy with it and can continue every day.  There are many videos which are hard work, but if I was younger it's fine but I've read about that after becoming 50s, it's better to do it as fun, and too much exercise are not good for health.  Our bodies are not the same as when we were younger, so it's good to choose exercise based on our body condition and we can continue without difficulty.  The point is having fun and can do every day.  Because it's no meaning if we can not continue

Eating seasonal foods are not only good for health but also it's increasing our vibrational energy and it brings good luck.  I love this season so much because my favorite fruit Cherry is the food in season right now,  and I can eat cherries every day !  I don't know why but Cherry has been my favorite fruit since I was a little girl.   In my childhood, my image of Cherry was always Luxury fruit because it was  expensive and I was not able to eat much. So I was often dreaming to eat Cherries until I get full. In my parents generation, they said Banana was very expensive because it was not easy to get in Japan and was known as luxury fruit until the year I was born.  Now we can buy bananas about less than 70 cents/lb so I eat it every day. I feel wealthy and abundance when I think about it while eating the banana.  In Japanese Cherries, my favorites are called Sato Nishiki,  Napoleon ( it's the types of Cherries which are from Yamagata  Prefectu

It's been forever since my last post ! During the time, we have moved to a new place.  I love these views.   Beautiful mountain views. New Guitar   My husband bought a new guitar ( in the right side, brown & black one ), so we decorated it with his other guitar in the wall. New winter slippers  These are my new winter slippers which are like rabbits.   It's warm and comfortable. New Sneakers   Socks sneakers.  They are very comfortable with soft cushions. But they are good for short time and not good to wear all day long. When we were moving to the new place, I was wearing them for a long time and my feet got hurt. New Sunglasses These were very hard to find, so happy to get them. Love birds couple   They often come to our balcony.   Very lovely ! Brunch menu    I usually eat fruits, salad and cheese toast for every brunch but sometimes love to eat this kind of meal i

It was my birthday on July 17, and we had been wanting to go on a day trip somewhere, so we went to Tombstone that is close to our place, finally!  About 7 months ago, we had watched the movie " Tombstone " which was released in 1993 and we both really like it because it 's well made and well acted.  It's also based on a true story.  The location is close from our place, and it takes about one hour and a half to get there.  We realized that we have been living here about 16 years but we have never been to the town Tombstone.  It's said that many of the buildings in the town are still as they were in the 19th centuries time period, so I wanted to go there. I love seeing and walking around the places where it's like going back to an older generation.  According to the information, there are about 1500 people living in Tombstone nowadays.  "Tombstone (1993)" Theatrical Trailer      T he temperature on that day
