We made 2 Jack-o-lanterns. They will be on display at NEO this week, so please look for them in the lobby.
お待たせしておりましたが、日本人講師をしてくれていたManamiが無事第一子を出産しました。予定日より1週間遅れましたが、五体満足3500gの可愛いBaby boy です。妊娠期からこの赤ちゃんは本当にいい子でした。NEOにとっては本当に親孝行な子です。
土曜日に出産したので月曜日に産院へお祝いに行ってきました。出産の苦しみは当然あったけれど、分娩台に乗ってから4時間ほどで生まれてきたのでスムーズ出産です。そのせいか疲れてはいるだろうけれど晴れやかな顔つきでした。周りの赤ちゃんもみんな3000gを超えている子ばかり。髪も黒々、爪もしっかり。最近の子はみんな栄養が行き渡っています。
今日が退院の日。本当はご実家へ帰るのが希望でしたが、ご実家は真備なので夏の水害を受けて帰れません。まずは夫婦の家へ赤ちゃんを連れて帰っているとのことです。
落ち着いたらNEOへ赤ちゃんを連れて来てお披露目をしてほしいです！
Diners: An American Tradition
My family and me at Meadows Diner.
Even though I’ve lived abroad for many years, I still miss a lot of foods from home. So whenever I go home, one of the first places I go is my local diner. The one near me is called Meadows Diner.
We don’t have anything quite like a real diner in Okayama. If you don’t know, a diner is a kind of restaurant where you can get a large variety of food at any time of day or night.
Many diners have a nostalgic or retro style, which makes them easy to recognize. Shiny metal siding and neon signs are also common. No two diners are exactly alike, but most of them have these characteristics:
-They’re open very late, often 24 hours.
-They have a large menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner available all day.
-They’re usually local, family-owned, independent places (i.e. not a chain).
-They have bar seats as well as tables and booths.
-They serve lots of coffee, usually with free refills.
Some of the most popular items on the menu are usually breakfast foods, like omelets and pancakes, and lunch foods, like soups and sandwiches. And all of it is delicious.
Of course, I may be a little biased because I’m from New Jersey, the diner capital of the world! We have more diners than any other state in the U.S. There was an article about it just a couple of weeks ago on the BBC. Take a look!
