I found a cherry tree branch cut off on the ground.

Mother: Oh, poor thing.
Michuki: Why's that?
Mother: You shouldn't cut trees. It's a pity.
Michuki: You can't cut any trees? All trees?
Mother: Never.
Michuki: Then, cutting-tree guys will lose their jobs.
Mother: ...

Michuki will be 4 years old this April.
Grandma will be 93 in March.

Michuki: After she turned 93, what's gonna happen to her?
Mother: Grandma will live till 100 years old.
Michuki: "How about after 100? Will she die?
Mother: "You want her to go away?
Michuki: Nooo. (He frowned)
Mother: (To her grandma) He's asking what you'll become after 100.
Grandma: I never know till then!

My grandma. Always generous and big hearted.
Please try for the Guinness Book Record of longevity.

The three-year-old skier was rockin' with a woman from the economic
bubble years.
My husband and I are the generation of skiing. Looking enviously at young snowboarders with baggy outfits, we said, "After all, skiing the best!"
Children are fast learners!
In a moment, he was just skiing by himself.
It was a quick but shining vacation on the very fine weekend.

"The Kansai area is a funny place," says Mr Kawai Hayao.
He is a warm and soft hearted person and absolute joker.
"There's something faster than light. Do you know what it is?"
And he continued, "That's 'Hope'."
"Hope is faster than Light, people say."
...They are the names of the Shinkansen Bullet trains...
This award was set up by such a person Mr Kawai for cultural activities to make the Kansai area vigorous and cheerful.
I received the grand prix.
How happy I am.
This photo shows the ceremony.
With 'Hikonyan'.
Hikonyan's hand was so warm!
This occasion made me feel like I'd like to make more contribution to
cultural activities for Kansai, the place of 'human touch', to make it more
vigorous.
Thank you.
