Promotion!
Letter from Dave:
Saw one of my calendar squares is our little boo-san. Everyone thinks he’s a nice looking dog. Love you boo, look forward to seeing you in a couple of days.
:(
I miss our boo-face :(
In other news, Dave officially was promoted on Monday. Yay, Dave! Did you know: technically, he should be promoted on the same day he was commissioned? In his case, it's graduation day, an easy day to remember - and event to which i was NOT invited... I digress. But because every school graduates or commissions on different days, if every one were promoted on the day they were commissioned, there could be problems. Now your best friend out-ranks you, but only for a few days, but has just ordered you to (fill in the blank). So to maintain continuity and prevent power-trip issues, everyone is promoted on the same day. I believe there's also a fall and winter "day" too.
Congrats, LT. Now where's that O-3 paycheck??

Please move your car, here's a gift.
Gift giving is BIG in Japan. Today, my landlord knocked on the door. She handed me a paper on which she'd asked her English teacher to help her properly compose a letter. "
Wrigley Family,
Would you do me a favor?
On June 3rd our gardener will plant a tree next to Casa Jardin (C). So, his big car will pass this parking lot.
Would you move your car in from of the door on that day?
I'm sorry to trouble you. (whited out exclamation point)
Thank you very much.
Iijima Family
Too cute. She also brought be a box of "Japanese sweets" from Machida. But as I've mentioned before, a gift isn't a gift unless it's properly wrapped. I referenced the scene from Love Actually.
Isn't that nice?!
Also, I finally put up some of the Ikea sticker's I bought a while back. They're in our entry way, since it's so bare in there.
Spiffy. We'll see if the stickers stay up during the pending rainy season's humidity. Speaking of rainy season, the rice paddies are out! We've gotten a lot of rain recently and now the fields are flooded to grow the rice. Exciting.

More Bazaar
Laura and Heather, inside the big tent - "junk" tent, as some called it. I prefer to call it the "great deals on gifts" tent.
Making Heather shop at the 50% off table.... This girl bought two baskets full of silk things! ;)
Furniture was also available. This was the entry I fell in love with.... Next time... The Bazaar will be back in September... Just in time for Dave to go with me (!!!) You better believe he's excited.
Collapsible Home-Bar. Folds down to 2x3ft. Awesome. It even made ME want to have one.
China cabinet that heather fell in love with... marked down to $1740 from $2400. She didn't buy it though (good job, Heather!)
