Be ambitious not for money or for selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame.

Yes. I'm especially excited and looking forward to the flowers blooming after sowing the seeds. 😉💕 The weather was nice all day today, so I worked on the vegetable garden in the field for about two hours in the morning with my husband's help, and then we went out. 🚙 It looks like the weather will be nice tomorrow as well.
@デュランサ How nice! You will have a trip to see the nature. lovely. Take care of yourself. Not too much~ We can have a good time~ Nice day together! with smile 😊

Today, my husband and I tended to the garden and then went out. We had intended to buy groceries, but we were too tired, so we only bought cat food. Tomorrow, after the gardener finishes disinfecting the garden and the fruit trees in the field, we'll go out to buy a week's worth of groceries. I hope tomorrow will be another good day 🙏🏻
@太陽の塔 How nice! You were audience to watch golfers. That’s great habit. I used to play ⛳️ golf every weekend in 1980s. Total I played ~…100 days/year. ☺️my handicap was 18~15at best. I still have 4 members of Golf courses. No money issues. Money I put into the pond ~ had just gone. No 💴 money comes back. In those days ~ when we became a member, “you can sell ~ you can get a trust fund(itaku kin). 🥸not true. That’s today. How much I spent cash In those days in 1980s. I was still young ~ As I told you~. “life is such a kind”. Today? No worries about anything. Just keep being healthy ~ to be with U

I will be enough for 10 more years~. I have still having a nice day ~ at the club. Probably I am the #1 attendance of the club. At the same time.

Nice to talk to you. 😊 I am happy. No nervous stomachache at all for 2 weeks. 😊

@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. I am listening to the Japanese music 🎶 station “Jinsei Uta ga aru” naratated by Itsuki Hiroshi san & Godai Natsuko san. 👏it’s rare for me to watch and see them. Enjoyable 😄 I will enjoy from now~. Let’s have a good day! 😊
@デュランサ I know~ it depends on the weather. …I was trimming as usual ~ 😣 my lovely roses scratches my arm(right). (Shikatanashi). How is your day? Go for your fun! I am looking forward to seeing your photos. 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 We're in the same age group, but we seem to have different tastes in Japanese singers.🤔🤭😆 Hiroshi Itsuki👨🎤was the singer my grandmother👵 loved, and Mariya Takeuchi👩 was the singer my mother loved. The Beatles are the group I love, but they are oldies to me.🎸🥁🎹🎙️🎶😅🌞 Why does this gap occur ? 🤔 Hoitara-ne. 👏👏👏✌️🍺
Taking care of roses 🌹 is quite a lot of work, isn't it? Even with gardening gloves on, you can still touch the thorns and get scratched. Yesterday it rained all day so I couldn't do anything outside, but I had plans to go out, so I went out with my husband. 🚙
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I understand that. I remember… when I was 6 years old(you know when), I was using a open-reel player. There is a 🎤. I put microphone beside the TV and recorded the music 🎶 at that time~… Murata Hideo, Hashi Yukio, dick Mine, Kasuga Hachiro, … ladies ~ later It was in 1960s. “Itsumademo yumeo”(1962)💕
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. That’s right. I was wearing the wool long sleeve sweater, still I got hurt 😞. My friends at the Club asked me “what’s going on your 🩹bandaid?” I talk about my rose garden, show my garden pictures ~. It takes for 30 minutes everyday. Trimming and 🧹 cleaning up. I have a guy. He can do heavy things. He dose clean moss/ weeds…which I don’t know how~. We will have a nice day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Good evening (/^-^(^^*)/ Some of the roses in my garden have started to bloom from buds, but I also had to trim the crowded leaves to prevent poor air circulation. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your messages !😄 Oni-chang understand that, too.👌 I’m surprised how well Yuming remember those showa songs, considering we’re about the same age !😳👦👧🤝🥰 Hoitara-mata-oshiete-ya !🌞✌️ ファイト!📣📣📣🏃🏃♀️💨
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Yes. I have a strong memory about my lovely SHOWA. Yokatta na~ mo~ ichido 💕 Keep being healthy! Not to have a delicious meal all the time. It will kill us.(as I told you). Good day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank you for your valuable feedback.😄👌 Eating too much delicious food is bad for your health, but it's best to have a well-balanced diet and eat until you're 80% full.🌞✌️💦
@デュランサ You have cute roses in your garden. How nice! Keep taking care of them. They are waiting for your support. Water, trimming. I do not use fertilizer at all. But It is up to you. Go for and tomorrow! 😊
@太陽の塔 Great! You felt so. You know~ we have plenty money 💴 to eat delicious foods. … they will kill us in the future.(tashika da yo). Can I tell you ~ recently what I eat everyday? Buckwheat noodles, seaweed with ☝️ 🍳. That’s my dinner. + I have some salad 🥗, 🥑, grapes 🍇 and watermelon 🍉. I talk to me by myself “Simple is the best”. I will let you know~ about my favorite food later. How do you eat? Ask your wife 💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Good evening ☺️✨ Yes, the basic rule for fertilizing roses is to apply fertilizer four times a year: "winter fertilizer (base fertilizer)" in December-February, "bud-opening fertilizer" in March, "thank-you fertilizer" in May-June, and "autumn top dressing" in late August-September. However, I only do it three times a year. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your food message ! 😄🤗👌 Oni-chang have recently become really into Italian food.🇮🇹🍕🍽️🍾 I especially love having peperoncino, with lots of garlic and chili, while sipping wine.🍝🍷😋 Escargots 🐌 are also delicious.👍 I'm avoiding lasagna because it's made with rice.🥘 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@デュランサ You use fertilizer. It’s the one idea. I used to use it. Today, I just stopped using it. For my Orange 🍊 tree. Even My rose garden. Well~ I would like to see the gigantic rose(with fertilizer). However I quit my way. Organic/natural just water. We will our way to treat our garden. I respect your garden. 😊
I also fertilize my mandarin oranges 🍊. I think that if I didn't, their growth would be slower and they wouldn't be as sweet. Yumiko's oranges 🍊 are delicious and she's harvesting them, so I think it's okay. My roses 🌹 also turn yellow if I don't fertilize them. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. It’s good~ once for a while. With vegetables and day-fruit! 🤗happy We just keep being healthier. ~ how many years?…10~15 years. Enjoyable our life! 💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your lovely SHOWA messages ! 😄🎶👌 Today is Showa Day, a national holiday in Japan.🎌🤗 April 29th, originally the Emperor's Birthday (Tenno Tanjobi) during the Showa era, was renamed "Greenery Day💚" (Midori no Hi) after Emperor Showa's passing. 😊 From 2007, it became the current "Showa Day" (Showa no Hi), and "Greenery Day" was moved to May 4th. By the way, 2026 is Showa 101.👴👵✌️ Oni-chang also love the Showa era.🤗🗼🏯🦀 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@pechako Thank you for a message. This flower is California state flower. We here respect this flower. However this flower is so strong 💪 to keep the ground. I have heard lots of stories. Take cake of ourselves well. Nice meals, with lots of water, good rest~ tomorrow is coming! 😊😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! We love Showa Era. Japan was poor when we were born. I had my ‘obentou’ which housekeeper(kaseifu) made. Rice/with nori and one sweet egg. My mother added a little meat(beef~ chicken ~). Otherwise I ate Noriben/sweetegg. 😁I still I love Sweet egg(1960s). Today I put honey(not sugar)and make a nice one ☝️! My Vintage Fried Egg(1960~). Enjoyable What is your favorite food? Me~. Chicken/breast & tenderloin Eggs 🍳 eggs 🥚. Of course sweet eggs from 1960s. How about you?
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your food message.😋🤗👌 My favorite food is Okonomi-yaki(お好み焼き).🥘 This food is nutritionally balanced, made with pork, cabbage, flour, and oil.🐷🥬🌾🧂🤔 On April 28th and 29th, I posted photos of Okonomi-yaki after the flowers on GS.📸🥘🥘😋🤗 I cooked both of them.💦 Each one has a single kanji character drawn with mayonnaise. Can Yuming read both of these kanji characters? Yes, "博" and "夢", all right.🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
The roses 🌹 are starting to bloom little by little. The ones planted in the ground have more flowers. I wonder if it's because their roots can spread out and grow so much. They also seem to grow faster. It looks like it's going to rain again tomorrow ☔️. I guess I'll have to take a break from tending to the roses outside. Yes. I hope you all have a wonderful day. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I feel you want me to ask about “Hiro” and “Yume”. Onyomi & Kuniomi hiro=haku yume=mu ~ dream💕 We have a good day together. 😊
@太陽の塔 I loved okonomiyaki when I was in Osaka with my uncle in 1987~. I have ever told you ~ we went to “Tenma Kikusui”. Tenjinbashi We went there 2~3 times year after playing at Hirono Golf
@太陽の塔 Sorry ~ to be continued. Hirono Golf ⛳️ Club in late 1980s. They made a line. We liked okonomiyaki. You are nice cook for~ 😋 nice! By the way ‘kikusui’ is closed. 🥲 In Tokyo, I was growing up with ‘Monjya’. Comparing okonomiyaki, monjya is cheep. …I remember…in 1960s. When I went to the place to have one ☝️ cup of Monjya, it was ¥35. I we went to Okonomiyaki, It was ¥60. I was growing up with Nani,house keepers. Not with my mother and father at all. Because I had no memory. Life is such a kind. (Jinsei towa sonnamono). Talking well~ I will have your had made okonomiyaki in our next life. 😊 Nice to talk to you
@pechako Thank you for a message. That’s right. We here all over with these flowers from now till it’s becoming cold. You can see these. World 🌎 is small. We can see the same flowers at the same time(approximately). with smile 😊 😊
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. We will have a great day. *My life~ I will not go for aboard Because I have still taking care of my husband at home. I will go back to Tokyo in the future. I am thinking ~ I will be attending to GS party. We may see ~😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your monjya message ! 😋😄👌 Monjayaki used to be cheaper than okonomiyaki, but these days there are so many varieties. If you add different types of seafood, it can actually get pretty expensive.🥘🦐🦑🐟😋🤗 When I was living in Tokyo, I went to Monzen-nakacho to have monjayaki.🥘💦 I loved grilling various kinds of seafood on the teppan before making monjayaki.🐙🐮🐟🦞 I finished several bottles of Jinro shochu.🍾 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@pechako Thank you for a message. That’s right! ☝️ We are in the world 🌎. Like the Moon We can see the moon all of universe. We are just tiny animals in the universe. We will still survive another 10~15~20 years. Let’s have a good day together! 😊

@デュランサ How romantic! Some people take photos and put on them on GS. They have a romantic interest. We can see the same moon all of the world 🌎. Enjoying Have a nice day! 😊
I think it was May 2nd that we saw the 'Flower Moon 🌕️' in the southeastern sky. It was a beautiful, sparkling full moon ✨. That's right, the same full moon was visible all over the world. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I know ~ I am stupid. Because I had been there for at least 10 years ~ visiting ~at least 100 times. I knew the former owner and probably today’s owner. … It’s easy to tell the place. Intersection of Roppongi, crossing the street looking back ALMOND. There is a Japanese noodle place. right(Next next place). I am so shocked. I still I can’t remember the name of the place~. I will ~ think strongly!😊 How is your day? Did you go out? I know you can’t stay home all day. Me, either. 🤗 Everyday ~ be fresh feeling! We will be healthy ! Nice day together! 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 It's a real restaurant called 'Roppongi Monja 4RO(シロ)'. Do you happen to remember a monjayaki restaurant named "Shiro" ?🤔🤗🥘😋 The weather is lovely today☀️, so I’m going for a walk in Expo Park. I am currently getting ready for my upcoming trip from May 7th.💦 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Actually I do not know that place. …I had been only one place… and I can’t remember the name. Well~ When I go back to Japan, I will off course go back to Roppongi. I hope 🤞 it’s closed. * the place/cross the street,Roppongi main intersection, from Maiami/Almond There is the Japanese noodle shop. My favorite Monjya place is … 1.2.3houses to see Tokyo Tower 🗼. On the corner. I will still think about the name of this place~ in my 😴 dream. 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your hard work.🙇💦☺️👌 Oni-chang know the intersection with the Almond cafe in Roppongi very well, but there is no monjayaki restaurant there right now.😢🥘🥃🙅♀️ I don't even know what to say. (Wate-honmani-you-iwanwa?)🤭😄🤗 Hoitara-ashita-kara-yoroshiku-ne.🌞✌️
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. Yes. I did. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌙 I see the same moon in the world 🌎. I am interested in to see the GS friends photos of the moon. respect 🫡 Nice day you & me. * my nick name at my club is “Yumi” =you & me. They remember so easy. 😊
So you're called 'Yumi' at the club? Well, I'll call you that from now on. ☺️✨ The 'Flower Moon🌕️' was beautiful, wasn't it? Apparently the 'Aquarid meteor shower' was visible from midnight to early evening last night, but I went to bed early and missed it. What a shame! 💦
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You know ~ Roppongi in those days. There is the place. The first “Karaoke”in Roppongi. It was “Seafary”something like this. In late 1970s. You know~ Cavern Club! In those days, 1978~ “Tennis Club” in Roppongi. *intersection of Roppongi ~ go for the Boueicho. Mitsubishi Bank ~ next next. Underground. 🎾 Probably you came to Roppongi after this time(~1980). Life was a such a nice one. 💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your messages !🤭 I started working in Aoyama in 1985, and I used to go to karaoke bars and discos in Roppongi around that time.🎶🎤🕺🤗💸 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. You like the 🌝 moon. Romanist ! We will have a good day~. 🎳I think I will start play bowling soon. I have my own bowling ball.(12 pounds) and shoes. I will go for~ soon. Excited 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for your message. 🙌in 1985~…we had a member of “Saigo no 20 century chain” in Roppongi. It was Santory-old period. Actually…before than you. That’s right. We were at Cavern Club at Roppongi. 🫶time was that! Probably we were at the place at the same time for 30 minutes ~ to listen to the music 🎶 by Lady Bug. 🎶with Beatles music! In those days. I still remember at the club with my house keeping bottle CC, Canadian Club. 💕lovely
Looking at the moon somehow brings peace to the mind, doesn't it? It's lovely. Yumi-san loved bowling 👟👟🎳. Doing what you love is fun, and you lose track of time in no time. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Well ~ how about you? ✌️ You have been doing great! Drive and visiting ~. Enjoyable. I can’t do something you can do, because of my husband’s situation. (shikatanashi). We will have a enjoyable life. 😊
@デュランサ It’s good to go your hobby. Yes. I will think…to visit to bowling 🎳 next week. With my own ball & shoes Life is such a kind~ I will find something. nice to talk to you. We will have a good day! 😊
@デュランサ …I am planning to go to play bowling 🎳 ~ soon. My point is : swimming for 75 min. Speeding walk for 30 minutes. And after that~ I hope 🤞 I will have energy to do bowling 🎳. I will see ~ 🤓 How is your day? You go out for waking? Being healthy. Not only trip. But also ~ go walk around your house. I see here one couple are always walking together at the same time for 4 years. They are great couples. I can tell. 💕 Walk with your husband ~ Life is such a kind. Keep being healthy. with smile 😊
I didn't do any real exercise today. I did move my body doing some gardening, but like Yumi, I didn't do 75 minutes of swimming and 30 minutes of brisk walking. Bowling after this will definitely require some stamina. My neighbors, a couple, were out for a walk, and it was so heartwarming. I should try to follow their example.
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. You are enough exercise daily. We will keep being healthy. Recently I gained. I have 99 pounds. (before 96 pounds). I need power to walk. I calculated~ I walk 3840m/day for 29 minutes ~. 😊I do this one in my life/ last try. Let’s go for a good day!
Good evening ☺️✨ I don't do any exercise, but I probably walk an average number of steps with my daily gardening, housework, and outings. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. 🐰💗
The weather is sunny again today ☀. It's a beautiful, clear day. I'll be heading to Kyoto for a day trip, which will probably last from early morning until late at night, and I'm going to have a great time! 🐰💗
Yesterday was a very fulfilling day trip. I drove to Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden, and actually made a final stop at the Snoopy Tea House in Nishiki. 🐰💗
