Visitors

The futons have been aired out.
The house is clean. (Well, almost)
The car seat is in the car.
Directions to the airport ready.
New recipes to try on the list.

I've been blessed by many visitors over the summer but this week my first visitors from the states are coming. My 8th and 9th overnight guests for the summer are due to arrive Tuesday night, my friend, Sharon, and her 18month old son.

Taking a trip down memory lane . . .


Sharon & I at her wedding 2003 ^Sharon & I at our Stillwater girl's weekend out 2007 just before I moved to Japan

This isn't her first trip to Japan - she visited me in 1999 when I lived in Tokyo - but I've haven't seen her for 22 months so this will be my first chance to see her in her role as mom and get to interact with her son in person (We've already interacted on skype calls.) - I'm praying for travel blessings as making the flight over the ocean with a small child will be an adventure in itself!

Sharon -Perhaps this will be come a tradition, a visit to Japan every 10 years??
Such a joy to be able to share the Japan side of me with you
and to hang out with you and the little man for a week! God is so good!
