  July 17  was my Birthday and I became 54 !    I can't believe it!  I feel like time flies faster and faster every year,  and I wonder why ? I did not feel time flies so fast when I was teens.    When I was young, my image of  the age 54 was ancient and I never imagined I became that age.   and when I became that age, it's nothing special, just getting older. That's all.  I remember when my grandmother and my mother were that age.  and I realized that everybody is aging like that and repeating.  Fortunately , I'm still healthy.  But I did notice that when I accidentally fell down on the floor, my body was not the same as when I was younger anymore. Also, since a few years ago, I started enjoying thinking about older generation, especially my blossom times.  such as music, movies, memorial things, places  etc.. People think looking back to past is not good , but when we get older, I reali...

I usually get up around 11 am, so my first meal in a day is always brunch.  and lately I'm really into eating Fruits. I rarely had not eaten much fruits since when I was young even though I love fruits,  because I preferred to eat normal meal, and after the meal I was already feeling full and no space for fruits or deserts for my stomach. In tea time ( coffee break time ), I often ate snacks , rather than fruits. So my mother often had told me to eat more fruits.   Lately, I happened to find an article about a Fruitarian who has been eating only fruits for 7 years and 8 months, and has been very healthy so far. I do not think I will be a Fruitarian but I decided to eat fruits since then, and I noticed that eating a lot of Fruits makes my body healthier. I often got the feeling of sleepy when I was eating rice, noodles, potatoes for breakfast or brunch. But I noticed that eating fruits doesn't make me sleepy feeling and get more energy. So since I found it out, I'v...

This week, we went to play bowling! I like to play bowling but my husband and I haven't played it since about 15 years ago when we were still living in Saint Louis, Missouri. I don't know why, but suddenly I felt really wanting to play bowling recently. So last Tuesday when my husband was day off, we went to play bowling around here. There were several bowling centers in Tucson and we chose highest rating place, called " Lucky strike bowl ".   I don't have much bowling experience,  but I remember that I really enjoyed playing it with my family and relatives when I was a child. There was a famous and popular professional woman bowler in Japan called Ritsuko Nakayama at that time, and many people were influenced by her , so bowling was popular with public in that generation.   and I also played with my several friends when I was a teenager.  It was quite fun as well.     and then had a long blank from it until 2002.  My ave...

We went to a mini golf center recently !   It was my first time to play mini golf. I had never been interested in golf in my life, I don't know why. But lately, we were discussing about horseshoe game, since we saw people were playing with it and I was wondering about it. and that discussion about it turned to mini golf. My husband had played it about 20 years ago and he said it was fun.   I only heard about normal golf, so I was curious about Mini golf.   In the Mini golf center, there are also some other attractions such as go-carts, Lazer Tag, Bumper boat, Batting cages, Arcade( game center). So besides Mini golf, we rode go-carts, and played with two games.   It was a very beautiful day and felt so comfortable ! Warm and clear but not so hot and not too dry or humid.   In the Mini golf course, there are two courses and there are popu...
