The flower arrangements are beautiful and I love those big mums. Genealogy can sure take up lots of time. That's a wonderful photo of your gr-grandfather! I started listening to A Gentleman in Moscow this summer and I still haven't gotten through it. Now I'm looking forward to reading the actual book :) Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096467148134599354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922529761906287927.post-67737006417808737502021-11-17T07:22:05.879-05:002021-11-17T07:22:05.879-05:00Thanks for sharing the photos from the festival. ...Thanks for sharing the photos from the festival.

Made me feel so very fortunate to have the freedom that we have, and to not live under an oppressive regime. Also his resourcefulness was astounding. Love your glimpses of Japan, as usual.

Sometimes a pause from quilt making (any creative endeavor, actually) is a good thing and one returns refreshed and ready to resume, sometimes even in a new direction.

I would have loved to hear your book group discussion. I will look up the book y'all are reading next. Did your whole group like A Gentleman in Moscow, or otherwise?Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719914886573721789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922529761906287927.post-35817554150638774422021-11-13T04:25:02.096-05:002021-11-13T04:25:02.096-05:00Looks like a gorgeous day at the shrine.

One of my students showed me the cutest picture of him with his three year old nephew, taken last week at his local shrine. The nephew was wearing his father’s outfit from when he was three years old. Such sweet traditional events. Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207344791348560569noreply@blogger.com
