Good morning.☺️✨ 🚙 I had my car inspected, but it's still a while away. I don't spend that much money on 🚙. I'm getting older, so I'll keep driving it forever. I just bought it last year. Yes♡I agree. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! 🌞 How are you? ~ I know…’car inspection’, We here, need to do once a year. $~ I do not know about a car at all. “0”😅 So I have to ask my certain guy every year. 👍we need to pass the inspection.

Good morning.☺️✨ Yesterday, my husband drove me to Aichi Prefecture to check out the first Mitsui Outlet Mall Okazaki, which apparently had its grand opening on November 4th. There's also a dog run, and the mall is filled with flowers and trees, so it was quite crowded even on a weekday. My beloved cars are Toyota and Honda. After all, I'd be in trouble if I didn't have a car. 🐰💗
It's also inconvenient here without a car. Lately, my husband has been driving the car almost every time we go out. I hope you have a wonderful day today too.
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for letting Oni-chang know your age. 👩👌 After all, I'm six months older than you.👱♂️✋☝️ You are my cute little sister ! 👧🤗 You will live six years and six months longer than I will. Because the average life expectancy is 81 for men and 87 for women, so women live six years longer than men.🤔💦 Hoitara-ne. 🤭😇🌞✌️
@ちゃちゃ Good morning! Your place has 12°C, my place has 13°C. It’s almost the same temperature. We will have a good day today and tomorrow! (Kyou mo ganbarou)! I like this. 💪have a good day! 😊

Ok! We will go for ~ together. I will be with you! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ This is my second Toyota car. 🚙 has had Hondas🚗 and Mazdas🚘️ before. Now, I have a lot of interior features, so I don't think I need to add many options. I'm pretty much in the middle of the pack, and I did add the spoiler as an option. It's exciting to see you buy a new car. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! ☀️ I told you I wanted to have a new car~ but I have not decided to get a new car now. In the early future…😄 My first car in USA was Buick. It was a nice car. loved We will have a nice day together! with smile 😊

Good morning☺️✨ . I've been driving my 🚘️ for a few years. When it starts to get out of order, I get it serviced and replace it when I can trade it in depending on the mileage and age. Yumiko's car is a Buick, a luxury car from General Motors. I don't know much about it, but if you take good care of it, you probably won't need to replace it for a while. That's nice. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! 🌞 It’s getting cold. We will take care of ourselves. You know…COVID-19 story was over~ however, we will have to take care of ourselves. Now~ everyone is becoming careless.

Good morning.☺️✨ It was warm and sunny until yesterday, but the cold has arrived today. The temperature difference is taking its toll on my body. I also have nasal inflammation, so I've been sneezing 🤧 every morning and evening. I also have a stuffy nose, so I'm not good with the change of seasons. When I come back from going out, I wash my hands and gargle. I hope you have another fun day today. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! ☀️ That’s right. Covid-19 has not been over yet. We still take care of ourselves. People are now~ becoming careless. And~ it’s more dangerous. Winter is coming. Let’s go for a day, healthy. Thank you for a message. with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ It's been really cold since yesterday, so I finally turned on the heater. I turned it on earlier than last year. 🦆 It seems like the flu is going around these days. I think it's safer to wear a mask when going out. Even if you've been vaccinated, the flu is only mild. 🐰💗
@ちゃちゃ Good morning! healthy Chacha san. 👍 …it’s now 13°C. It’s not so cold here. In the early morning, it was 10°C this morning. Not too bad. Same, same! Still we will take care of ourselves. COVID-19 has not been over yet. Keep been our body healthy. Have a nice day! not too much work.💕
