Kyoko and auntie Michiko at Christmas party

Kyoko

Colleen's co-workers took a few moments out of their hectic work day to celebrate the 2009 Holiday season.

Kyoko needed a break from the "24/7 George Day Care Facility" (aka home)...so we spent Saturday at her favorite Casino...Chumash in Solvang CA. (just North of Santa Barbra on the coast).

I brought my bicycle and explored the surrounding area...beautiful scenery.

Parents visited for two weeks....Kyoko, mom and dad at the Yoshimura home.

George is really slowing down a lot due to Alzheimer's...but his long term memory of childhood is still very much in tact (remarkably) and he has a great appetite so he's doin' o.k thus far.

parents at our house.

Colleen made this quilt for her long time friend Michele. (***click on picture to enlarge)

Dinner with parents and colleen's friends Michele and Carol........Colleen cooked tempura which turned out really well.
