Yipee! I could just shout for joy if only I don't live in a row of houses where only a thick slab of concrete divides us! I am at home tapping at my laptop! Ain't it grand? I can now type away with pleasure and the nice thing about this set up is the wi-fi connection is free! Thanks Charina (whoever you are) for your generosity.

I've been receiving lots of 'how is yumi?' questions lately. I don't have her latest pic. I think this was taken a month or two ago when we attended our neighbor Aaliyah's birthday.

Hahaha look at her socks! It looks so Japanese. It looks like she is wearing Kimono.
