Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 Yumi posted Tecoma(Yellow trumpet bush) on June 21st, but this Compsis(Trumpet vine ※) is more well-known.😊😄 Compsis is darker than Tecoma and closer to orange color. 🧡 Either way, they are both beautiful flowers.🤗👌 ※ Compsis, comonly known as trumpet creeper or trumpet vine, is a genus of flowering plants.🪴🎺🧐 In Japan🇯🇵, they are all lumped together under the name "Trumpet vine(Nouzen-Kazura)".🤔😄🤗 I also posted the photos of "Trumpet vine" to GS on July 26th of this year.📱🧡🌿 To be continued. Hoitara-ne.😴💤🌞✌️
@ゆきばー Thank you for a message. I saw this flower after my Dr. appointment. They are blooming beside the hospital building. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 “Hoitara-ne”…means…”Jya~ne”in Tokyo word. I like the sounds. 😄 I still swim for 75 minutes and walk for ~ 45 minutes ~. I am lucky because I can see a cute flower. Once a day! And I will post her. Have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ This is a continuation of the previous post.😄👌 I also posted the photos of "Trumpet vine" to GS on July 26th of this year.🤔📱 There are two types of flower length.✌️😊🤗 "Nozen-Kazura" is the standard length, and "America Nozen-Kazura" is a bit longer and thinner. 🤭🧡🌿 By the way, yesterday is the National Day for country Kazakhstan🇰🇿 at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. I posted in on GS, so check back ! 🤔 Hoitara-ne.(Jya〜ne.)🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Yes. I saw yours. Good! You have been great one~ till the end of Expo. 👏 Take care of yourself. Good day, with happy feelings! Good day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your kind message ! 😄♥️💙👀👌 Oni-chan listened to the Kazakhstan orchestra at the Shine Hat Pavilion of the Kansai Expo on August 10th. 🎩🇰🇿🎻🥁🤗🙆♀️ I sometimes listen to orchestras from Japan🇯🇵 and Western countries 🇨🇿🇩🇪, but the Kazakh🇰🇿 orchestra's performance was very impressive, with instrument I've never seen before and a fresh, powerful sound.🎸💪 It's wonderful to be able to experience foreign caltures while in Japan🇯🇵, and the World Expo is a great opportunity. 🌏🤝🌞✌️ Hoitara-next !🤭😴🌃💤👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I went to the blood test at the hospital. I parked my car~ and I saw this lady. Time and occasion. I still walked after that. I couldn’t see nice lady ~ Every day is coming. It hot ! Let’s take care of ourselves. Have a nice day and evening! with our smiles 😊😊
Yumiko, did you have a blood test at the hospital for some kind of test? Or are you not feeling well? I want to stay healthy every day, but my health changes from time to time. I hope you have a wonderful day today too🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your message ! 😄👌 Today is August 13th.🤔😊 There are just two months left until (10/13) the closing day of the Kansai Expo.✌️♥️💙👀 Looking at the upcoming pavilions reservations, they are already full (red⭕️🙅♀️). Hoitara-next ! じぁあね〜！👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Actually we have two times a year to have a blood test.(by our own Dr). And see Dr. with the blood test results. In USA, we need have a personal Dr. Insurance works. Everything will be paid. I have know about Japanese system of medical care. Is it ok/good?! With my age, I have a great insurance. We are the same age. Let’s try to be our best ! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Well~ two more month~ This is the great event in the world. I hope you will make a schedule,not too tight. Lots of GS friends are looking forward to seeing your photos. 🫡 It’s hot outside. Take care of yourself. Good day together with our smiles 😊😊
I see. I have a health check every year. Depending on the results, I go to my regular doctor, but so far I haven't had to take any medicine. I'm a little younger than my age. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your advice ! Oni-chan saw the movie "Jurassic World" yesterday.📽️🦖🦕😊💦 It was a very powerful movie. I thought the ending of the movie was typical of an American movie.🎞️🇺🇸🌞✌️ Hoitara-next ! 😴💤👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Lovely ! You are healthy. good 👍 Today, teeth, eyes and regular health check. !Age! Let’s have a good day together ~ What are you going to cook? I made spaghetti 🍝, with seafood. Nice day! 😊
Yesterday, the croquettes were ready, and the side dishes that accompanied them were pumpkin salad, boiled long, thin beans, vegetables with ground sesame and soy sauce, and lotus root salad. I thinly sliced it, boiled it briefly with a little salt, then soaked it in ice water, and then mixed it with lotus root slices, 🥒, and ham, seasoned with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise. I made the salad and served it on a plate with sunny lettuce and petit 🍅. 😋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your message ! 😄👌 There was an accident on the Osaka subway🚇 last night, which left people unable to return home from the Expo 2025 site.🚃🙅♀️🌃💦 But Oni-chan was not caught up in the difficulties of getting home, because I didn't go to the Expo 2025 site. I watched the movie "Jurassic World" .🦖🦕😌👌🌞 Hoitara-next. 😴💤🌌✨👋
@太陽の塔 For real 😮! Still you were lucky! I know…you have been spending your energy for this event. 🫡 It’s still hot, we will take care of ourselves. Have a great day. 😊
When I cook, I make things that catch my eye on TV or YouTube, and then adjust the ingredients accordingly. I enjoy cooking things like, "I wonder if it will turn out like this?" I also change the seasoning to suit my family's tastes. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your concern about Oni-chan's health !🙇 If I had been involved in that incident (Person unable to return home), I would have enjoyed myself in the opened pavilions at night.🌃♥️💙👀🕺🎤🎶😄🤗✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It’s good. I understand that. We cook for us/family. You are the precious person of your family. 👍go~ show~ Let’s go for a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 This event may be you to do~~and you have been doing, you have doing great one. Take care of yourself. + Thank to your wife! 👏 Good day together! with smile 😊
Yes, it's only when you're healthy that you can enjoy delicious food. It's not seasoned in a set amount, but the amount you add is just right for my family. I like it a little lighter, but my mother prefers it stronger. I'm getting used to it being a little lighter now. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ You say, light meal or heavy one? I understand that. I can’t eat so much. The more we eat the more we gain. 👉🏻look! Today’s American 🇺🇸 woman has 170pounds(77.5kg). Average How about us? Keep being healthy ~ and we will have a good day! 😊
That's right. Gaining weight is not good for your health, and it can damage your stomach and make you more susceptible to catching a cold. It also makes it harder to move around, which is not good for you, and you don't want to be unable to eat delicious food, so I think it's best to keep it in moderation🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s right. I have my weight control, all the time~ right now I have ~97 pounds ~. I have 5.4 feet tall. How about you? 🙂 I swim 1.5 km every morning. And walk for 45~ minutes. You know…I can’t see the cute flowers all the time. …a couple times of the week. That’s why I walk everyday. Let’s have a good ! with smile 😊
You have amazing proportions. You're tall and slim, you swim 1.5km every morning, and you have a great body. I'm short, maybe 158cm🤭, and I weigh more than Yumiko. I'm embarrassed because I'm short and heavy, so I can't say it😅💦
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Wow! You have 158cm, it’s great. You are taller than I am. I have 5’4 inches/97 pounds. It’s on my driver’s license.(I have told you before). It’s ok. My weight is very rare in USA. 👀 look today’s Ladies and gentlemen in 🇺🇸! Surprise you.(it may surprise you). We 🇯🇵 are still fine especially our age(we Japanese will be fine at our age for now). Let’s go for our life happily! with smile 😊
Recently, I've been losing weight by working in my vegetable garden. I sweat a lot, so I'm hydrating accordingly. I'm 158cm tall and weigh about 48kg. 🤭 It's autumn, the season of appetite, and there are all kinds of delicious foods available, so I wonder if I'll gain weight again. 😁 I have an endoscopic stomach examination next month. I want to be healthy. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Great! I am happy to hear about your tall and weight. We are close each other. Well~ to being healthy, what do you do, or eat? It’s the good question. We will keep going ~ lovely 😊
Yes, recently I can't eat as much heavy or heavy foods that put a strain on my stomach. For example, if there is tuna sashimi on top of a seafood bowl, I think medium fatty tuna is a little 🤏🏻, but regular tuna is fine. When it comes to yakiniku, kalbi and loin taste a little 🤏🏻 better. As I get older, I can't eat as much fatty food. 🐰💗
Even at my age, I'm satisfied with just a little bit of high-quality food. They say it's good to be 80% full, and it's really good for your stomach. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s right! “hara-hachibu” I am happy you have been taking care of your weight/food~. Good try/me too You know…I can see the American ladies at the club. …80%~ ⬆️ they are all FAT(average is 220 pounds~)Can you believe it? I just “sorry pls have a good exercise a day. 🫶 Keeping our weight is the a sort of our mind control. 👍 Let’s have a good day! with smile 😊
Yes, when I gain weight, it's hard to go up and down stairs, and it's also hard when I'm out. So I eat in moderation, and if I eat too much, it upsets my stomach and makes me more susceptible to catching a cold. It's hard later on, so I'm careful. Exercise is also important. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ 🫶we are the same way to do our lives today. I can know that. lovely One day, we gained 1 pond, we can fix the weight within two days, right?! Our brain 🧠 works for that. This is very important to us. 👀 look, today’s the ladies in 🇺🇸. At my club, I can’t see the ok ladies body(110~130pounds). 🙃every lady has 160~260pounds. Unbelievable I do not talk about ‘weigh’, just I have been having a great friendship with them. That’s enough. You said you have 158cm and 49kg! Keep going. Good day together. 😊
From now on, autumn will bring with it so many delicious foods😘✨ that it's quite difficult to maintain my weight. Sometimes I end up overeating when I'm out😁 so I have to be careful not to overeat. I also go out and walk to different places🚶🏻. That way I can avoid snacking. I love autumn. It looks like it'll be fun to go out and enjoy stylish gourmet food. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Commented lovely. I would like to eat~ but I can’t eat~ I always have some weight control. If you want to hear ~ let me know. You are 👍. We are looking good ! Good day together! with smile 😊
Yes, I'm hoping it will get cooler from now on, so I'm going out somewhere. I haven't been to a flower shop or anywhere with flowers blooming lately, so I'd like to go out sometime soon. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s right. When I walk ~ I have a just tiny water bottle(frozen). It melts fast. I just walk for only 30~45 minutes a day. Before(Covid-19 period), I did not have swimming pool. I walked~ for at least one hour. And I saw cute flowers. Time passes so fast! What was that COVID-19? It made huge disaster in the world 🌎!! We got the good lessons for this disaster/Wash hands, not to talk to the people too close(always have a distance). It will be a sort of etiquette today. Keep being healthy! Me, too. 😊
Daily walks 🚶🏻 keep you in good health and allow you to encounter beautiful flowers. Right now, I'm looking around the lotus fields, and Tommy the Stork is busy feeding me. 🐰💗
Yes, I look forward to Tommy's visit every day. It seems that Tommy eats a lot. Storks are voracious eaters, eating 400-500g of food a day, which is about 10% of their body weight. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ For real! Do you feed Tommy? If you do, what do you feed Tommy? Interesting! We have our enjoyment a day. Keep going. I like that! Good smiles every day.😊
No, no. We're not feeding him; Tommy is finding and eating food himself. I looked up the amount he eats on Google. He eats a lot, so maybe he's moved to another place. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Ok! I respect that. Last message from you~. You have been well to take care of your garden. 👍 Sorry I talked too much 🫢 We have a good friendship on GS.
