Emi Comes Back to Utsunomiya

My daughter Emi came back home for several weeks. She had ample time to take a rest and relax. That was good for her to recover from poor health conditions.

We went to hot spring, after that, had dinner one day.

We rarely have had enough time to talk about so much of things, such as work, life, future and these things before.

Daughter Emi Comes Back Home on Summer Vacation

Daughter Emi came back home and stayed for a week on her summer vacation.

She works at sales department of a major telecom company in Japan.

She was so busy on her work that she kept working even at home or at a restaurant.

Anyway, we managed to spare half a day and went to Cafe TOKO for lunch together during her stay.

Emi and Rina Come Back Home

My company offered every employee one week summer holiday last week.
The holiday is called Obon Holiday.

Obon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors.
The spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household during this Obon season.
My two daughters, not spirits of ancestors though, came back home last week separately on different days.

My wife and I went to a sushi restaurant to have dinner with each daughter on different day.

My Two Daughters Love Foods

I haven't thought that my two daughters look similar.
But recently, when I visit their web sites, I found that they have similar smiles before foods.
Don't you think so?
