@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Autumn is coming little by little 🍁 You won't meet cats 🐈🆖 There are times when there are many cats 🐈 😍 That's right, cats are capricious 🐈😅 Let's live whimsically 😉👍
@はやとものかず I know…well…one year or so~ I saw one cute cat while I was walking. When she saw me, she came to me. I stopped walking. She was coming around me~I had some cats food in my pocket. She was fine to have it…💕 Now…I can’t see her at all~. 🥲 Right now, I just see a flower a day. Let’s have a nice day together! See you tomorrow. 👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) There are various kinds of cats too 🐈 Some cats are afraid of humans 🐈😥 Some cats are kind to certain people 🐈😅 Some cats get attached to everyone 🐈😍 Cats have different ways of life 🐈🐈🐈 We too Let's get along with cats 🐈 😅 Have a nice day today 😉 👍
@はやとものかず That’s right! The same what we are! 😀 Today, I was busy…I have one Japanese lady here. She wanted to see me. I went to her house and had a nice time. Walking, swimming and~. I have my daily routine. Today…something different! It’s funny feeling! I just send a message to you 😊 Have a good afternoon! 👋 see u
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Days, there are more white and black people on the Japanese team ❓😅 There are a lot more half - Japanese people on the japanese team 😅 If there were more white and black people on the Japanese team, they would say they were on the Japanese team. I teel uncomfortable 😥
@はやとものかず I wonder…you talk about spots team? I feel understand what you say~today lots of foreign people are joining our spoon Japan. ‘Sumou’ is the good example. …used to be very rarely ‘Konishiki’ was known. Today~ some/lot? I dare not to talk about the color of the skin(hada no iro wa shikatanashi). We are Yellow(they call). You know~ ✌️ In the word, we are like one of tiny ants. How is your day? …I feel ok~ I will concentrate to keep being healthy. Let’s have a good day together! See you tomorrow 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Mongolians are strong among sumo wrestlers 😥 It is no exaggeration to say that they have been taken over by Mongolians 😥 Yokozuna are all Mongolians 😓 Good luck Japan 🇯🇵😅
@はやとものかず For real!…so~ there is no Japanese Yokozuna today? 😯 In those days…~1980s~I really liked watching ‘Sumo’. Time has been changed…I feel a little bit sad😥 By the way, here, it’s 22°C only outside! I feel so nice. Autumn has come! Let’s have a good day together! See U tomorrow. 👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) One yokozuna is Mongolian 😥 Two of the three ozeki are Mongolian 😥 They look similar to Japanese, which is a shame 😥 I hope the Japanese sekitori does his best 😅 Today is a blessing of rain has descended ☔😉
@はやとものかず Time passes so fast. “Taiho. Chiyonohuji.” I was keen on watching. I liked Takanohana, father in those days. He was such a light weight and showed us a good one! I feel sad…Japanese national sport(Sumo)is…how can I say. 🥲 By the way, from today, I will post my photo on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Still I will talk to you. Let’s have a nice day together! 😊 See U tomorrow 👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) With Akebono leaving the Sumo world, I wonder if there are any wrestlers from Hawaii ❓😥 There are wrestlers from many countries, but ❓😥 Mongolians are overwhelmingly strong 😥 I can't best Japanese wrestlers ❓😥 I'm doing my best in Japanese basketball 👐➰🏀👍
@はやとものかず I remember…”Konishiki”(1982~1997) sumo period “Akebono”(1988~2001) I got info After this period, Mongolian period ~ Anyway this sort is our traditional sport in Japan. I would like to keep my eyes in this. 🤔 How is your day? Have a great day and evening! I will see you tomorrow. 😊👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) In konishiki's era, Japanese sumo wrestlers were still strong 😅 In the Mongolian era, Japanese sumo wrestlers couldn't be at the top 😓 The phrase ``A man and a woman's fragments ''has a lot of meaning ❓😥 I thought there were only men and women in the world, but they're somewhere in the middle, There are a lot of people ❓😅
@はやとものかず Basketball! Amazing I am happy to hear about this news. …as you know, Basketball in the world is…USA. It’s the same as Football.

@はやとものかず Probably they have a good friendship! I sometimes can hear two cats are screaming each other in the middle of the night. …they like each other…🤔 That’s why they are so active? It’s the animal world. Now,I have ear plugs when I sleep. No sound of crickets + cats screaming. Nice day together! 😊

I was wearing a summer dress for 45 days ~. Now I wear a skirt & sports shirt to go to my club. Long sleeve shirt…soon! How is your walk today?! I hope you will have a good day and evening,too.

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) It's been raining since last night ☔ I canceled this morning's walk 😥 I still need short sleeves 👕 The temperature won't drop much this year ☀️😵💦 I'm praying that things will return to normal levels soon 🙏

@はやとものかず I hope it will be better(weather). I know…our teeth…very important especially with our age. In order to eat the food and feel taste good…It depends on our teeth. The older we become, the more we like to eat the softer, mashy food. Life, age and happiness! How is it?! How are you today? Nice day together See U tomorrow! 😊😊

@はやとものかず You know, I went to the dentist this morning. 😌I am going to take care of my gum and teeth with special cleaning. It’s expensive and still I will go for that. As you told me, keeping our teeth is very important for us to eat and we can say “it’s delicious”. 🤙 The ladies at the dentist front desk, they have already done the treatment. Even they are…still young(35 years old around). I have got a good lesson today. 🫡talking about to take care of our teeth.(deshita)! How is your day?! Autumn has come at your place!? Yes. We have. I am going to walk tomorrow. Have a good day! See U👋

@はやとものかず How nice you have your insurance for your dental situation. …my place, here…$700 to clean(deep clean). It will take for 2 hours to clean. My doctor(D.M.D)says “just doing regular teeth cleaning does not work at all. You will have to clean underneath/gum. Otherwise we will loose our teeth in the future…😯 I have made an appointment in January(so busy~). ＋ popular today. I walked this morning after swimming. I am happy to have seen today’s flower(Yucca). I remember…last year, Mr. Abe went to in peace, I posted this flower. Time passes so fast. How is your day? Did you walk today? How is your kitties? 😀 Let’s have a good day together! See U tomorrow.👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) It would be nice if we could grow teeth again and again like Sharks 🦷❓😅 Our teeth don't regrow 😓 It rained a lot after our morning walk ☔😥 I'm glad it wasn't during our walk 😅 It was windy My potted tomato plant fell over 🍅😫

Everyday They jump and hop and run so quickly. …one day she came to my feet!😮 I was preparing for taking photos, … only for 10 second. She left immediately. Let’s go for today and tomorrow!

I used to eat yogurt twice a day, but now I only eat it at dinner 🌃🍽️😋 I met a cat on my walk today 🐈 I called out to her to come, but she ignored me. 😥 It seems like they don't want want to be friends 😥
@はやとものかず So you eat yogurt once a day. I have two times a day(size small/2 table spoon each time). My weight has come back. I have 98 pounds recently(before 92~95pouns). 🤙 I walked for a long time…I couldn’t see new lady ~…finally I saw her!(yatta-ne!)😄 You saw a cat and talked yo her…🥲sorry…she lives in the wild word and doesn’t know how to be with you nicely. That’s why they say “it’s difficult to get a cat to take home because she has been growing up as a wild lady(yasei teki). Nice to talk to you. Let’s have a nice day together. See you👋tomorrow !😊

@はやとものかず I feel so,too. Our bodies…mechanically getting older~🥲(toshi desu). Good! It depends on the weather. Now~ I will select the day to walk. Before, anyway I walked. Raining hard, wind strongly days. Now I feel I will be able to go for GS more comfortably. You know…it’s not so easy to walk everyday to meet lovely ladies. Let’s have a nice day together! See U tomorrow. 🤙

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) I'm thankful that Japan is so peaceful right now 😅 I want peace to last until die ✌️ Perhaps because it's getting colder, cats don't show up often ❓😥 I wonder if cats don't like the cold ❓😅

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Snow has piled up in Hokkaido ☃️ It's summer in Tokyo ☀️😵💦 It seems that Japan's future seasonal distribution will be such that summer and winter will be longer and spring and autumn will be shorter ❓😥 The seasons I like will be shorter and the seasons I hate will be longer ❓😥
@はやとものかず That’s exactly right. I felt so recently. Spring~ short time. Autumn ~ shot time,too. It’s our life now! We guess…it’s becoming worse from now~. 20 years later~… who can imagine what our situation will be. (ma~iikashira uchira wa ~) Good talk to you. See U 👋 tomorrow

Actually I have not eaten pears(nashi) for a long time. You went to the Apple field. Great! They say “Apple eater no need a doctor”. 🍎 Have a great day. See U tomorrow 😊

@はやとものかず I know…I seldom eat apple with my choice. The more they say ‘Apple is good’ the less I have my appetite to eat an apple 🍎. Interesting 🤔 I eat watermelon 🍉 and 🥝 kiwi everyday. Cheese 🧀 is also good for us!
