My Mother's 89th Birthday Party at Ohashikan

We celebrated my mother’s 89th birthday at Ohashikan which was a famous riverside hotel in Matsue city.

My elder brother planed the party rather small so as to be able to make parties easily and frequently for years to come.

Though my younger brother Koji lives in Kanagawa prefecture, just three hours from my home, it was the first time we met since five or six years before.

It was a fun to talk with him about trivial matters.

First class Japanese food were not only delicious but looked beautiful without exceptions.

I always feel guilty to eat them before taking their pictures

Family Reunion at a Riverside Restaurant in Shimane Prefecture

I live with my wife.
My daughter Rina lives in her college dormitory.
My daughter Emi lives in her own flat.

It's quite hard to find a chance to meet at the same time together.

But, the chance came last month.

We were able to have a family reunion party at a small river side restaurant in my hometown Shimane prefecture.

Though, it was a rainy day, the weather turned the view from the restaurant a fantastic evening atmosphere.

My mother, my brother and my sister-in-law all were very good in health.

We had a really fun time at the restaurant called Ohashi-Kan which had a more than 100 year history.
