Natsu Matsuri ....

She-who-is-small-tsundere and I attended the local version of a japanese summer festival this weekend. One of the local taiko groups leads the effort (Takohachi). The festival was decent, many more food booths than last year (though the taiyaki booth was missing) and entertainment (missing was our local japanese news guy as emcee and a renowned koto player). The missing-in-action I blame on it being the 4th-of-July weekend (whose idea was THAT?).

Otherwise, we're having our "new year cleaning purification" a few months late. I'd started on a whole house overhaul with my son in January but we got derailed by burn out a month later. We're trying to get to a decent point by mid-July when my younger son comes to visit for a few weeks. Much gaming and feasting anticipated.

Snagged manga Yotsuba& vol.10 (にほんご) at the local Kinokuniya.
