Hi. We are getting totally slammed with rain today. Good thing the garden was
finished a few days before. Akiko and I will be joining the work force once
again. She plans to work a regular job for awhile and the house is finished
enough to begin getting students for the English school within the next couple
weeks. Hopefully you guys are doing well. Send email when you can.

Hi. I think you guys want to chat on Monday SD time which would be Tuesday in
Japan. Me and Akiko need to take Shai for a shot that day. Already cancelled a
couple times because he was sick. Next weekend works for us though or doing the
Sunday in SD and the Monday for us. Anyway, the house is now totally usable and
looking really good. This was four months of working almost every day from early
morning until night. Planning to post all the exciting details and pictures of
this project. Now the classroom is finished and can begin accepting students.
The garden is doing really well and should produce plenty of food. This year the
temperatures in Japan were much cooler and resulted in high food prices now.
Cabbage is selling for 3 to 5 dollars a head. The garden should offset much of
our food costs. Hopefully you guys are doing well. Send email when you can.
Howie. |
