Today we got up early and drove down to Salinas. My brother Dean has had a lot of pain...and since he had the bout with colon cancer, Mom thought it would be best that he have another colonoscopy...which was scheduled for today, SUNDAY, at 7 am. Can you believe it? On a Sunday...so, Jeff and I thought it would be nice to drive down and see how he is doing. I got up at 7 am and made some of the strawberry manju to take to my Uncles and parents. I don't know if I like the way it turned out...I always have a problem when I make a half batch...but, oh well! Uncle Sam was up and out of his truck quickly when I told him it was in the house.
On the way down, I worked on flower petals and leaves for some thank you cards. Since I can hand deliver Jeff's mother and grandmother's cards, I thought I would make these flowers...esp. since I am late because I was busy with the Bazaar. I like the way it turned out!
We left Salinas at 1:30 and drove straight to the church gym. Neil and Jordan had a basketball camp...and we made it! Phew...just in time. Afterwards, we enjoyed a nice dinner with the Jangs and Nomuras...just like the old days, except the guys aren't whining about how sore they are...and there was no cards.... We can't make the next two sessions, but the boys will be there for the last session.
Tomorrow night: Odori practice @ 7:30!!! Yippee...but, unfortunately, we will not be able to make it to Obon....second year in a row...so sad :(
