盗難！Our surboards stolen!!

なんとうちのガレージから知らないうちにサーフボード２本が盗まれていた。。。

ショックすぎる、、、おそらくハワイにいってる間。

気づいたのは先週で、警察に一応届けたが、、、

カリフォルニアの思い出が詰まったボードたち、

見つかりますように。

うろうろしていた台風がやっと通り過ぎたのに、全然夏らしくならない。
今年は戻り梅雨とか、台風で、とかでかーーーっと暑い夏にならない。

どうせ暑いなら晴れてほしい。涼しいのも物悲しい。

昨夜は息子の同じクラスの友達とお姉ちゃんが遊びに来て、夕飯は
持ってきてくれたたこ焼き器でミニオムレツを子供たちが作って食べた。
母二人は二人で発泡酒６缶＋サワー１缶を開けおしゃべり。

そこのおうちは夫婦とも東京の人らしいので、いろいろ地元話を聞かせて
もらったが、
いやー東京育ちってやっぱり違うわ～
と、神奈川県の端っこ育ちの私はいちいち関心してしまった。

ハワイでがっつり休んだくせに、うちは今日から来週日曜までちゃっかり
お盆休みです。

子供の夏休みの宿題が、、、

今日夕方から旦那の実家にいってきます。

Someone stole our boards from our garage while we were in Hawai'i.
We only realized they are gone last week.... we were saving ourselves
from renting a car to go surfing in July since we were going to Hawai'i
and so we did not really pay attention.
We reported to the police.
These boards came to us in California, 
accompanied us to Hawai'i on our way back from California to Japan,
been to many beaches here in Japan with us.........
Hoping they will turn up somewhere...

Typhoon Noru finally went away, and I was so looking forward to a clear
blue sky, even ready to take the heat, but chilly morning, 
cold rain this morning.
Where is summer?
Ever since we came back from Hawai'i, rain, rain, rain. 
We are not feeling summer at all.

Koki's classmate came over with her sister and mom yesterday.
Kids enjoyed making mini omelettes with Takoyaki baker (takoyaki is a 
snack food from western Japan which is a flavored round non sweet pancake
with an octopus in it) while moms chatted.
The mom told me that she also makes small sweet pancakes with fruits in it,
even some dumplings, easy to make, fun for kids.

I think I am going to buy that baking machine pretty soon.

Aside from our Hawaii holiday, we are taking an Obon holiday starting today
till next Sunday. We are going to Toru's parents house tonight where Koki
and Hiroto's cousin will come. A typical Obon holiday.

Flip flops in da house.
