Thanksgiving in Arizona!!

Gladly this year I made it back home to Arizona for Thanksgiving. It was really great to be back for the first time since Japan for the Holiday.
My brother(left)and Lil Rick(right), we were very lucky to have Lil Rick with us this year. He is in the Marines and had a little time off to make it home and spend time with the family.

My younger and older brothers just goofing off, I guess too much turkey and stuffing got the best of them...........LOL
A Couple of my Auntie's in the above picture with my cousin, so much family I didnt have time to capture them all............

By now mother told me to put the camera away and start eating............I guess no choice......by the way in the picture above is one of her prized cakes she made from scratch......hhhmmmm delicous.......





It was great being home for Thanksgiving I wish I had a chance to share more with u but I guess this will have to do!!!!! Now for the real fun, it is time for me to start enjoying my Turkey Dinner!!!!
Happy Holidays yall!!!!!!

Still here in America

Hey!!!!  I am still in america, settling back into America especially in the hustle and bustle of California, has been tougher than I thought it would be.   So far I have a home now...HOORAY!!!!  I found a great one bedroom apartment in Hayward that I am totally in love with.  It is very spacious, with large patio glass doors to let all the light in, just the way I like it.   I still have some boxes to unpack (yes I know.....) and eventually get some furniture in there, but all in time.   

Currently its been a careful balance of work life and home life.   I have been doing lots of travelling and meeting all kinds of new people with my new job here.  It is great but in a sense, I actually miss the comforts of being in my new home in California.   None the less, the big question lies whether or not I should continue this blog???????

I am not sure what to think about it?!?  My main goal was to share as much as I  could about Japan but now I am back in the U.S.  be it travelling though.......hhhmmmmm.  What do you think?  Should I continue this blog? Let me know........ if you are still reading this now.........

Please vote on the Poll on the left side of this page.  I will be checking the  results and make my decision from there!!!!!
