Hello!
This morning we had our "3 Island Open Class". We had a student from Hokkaido, a student from Shikoku, and 2 students from Kyushu. Three islands! I love talking with the people who join my classes--the open classes and the private classes. Class time is such a happy part of my day. 
Today, the main topic that this group talked about was the earthquake last night in the Kanto area, and earthquakes in general. Even with such a heavy topic, they made me laugh out loud many times. They are very fun ladies.
Thank you, fun ladies! You know who you are. 
Does anyone like going to the dentist? I surely do not! 
But I had a dentist appointment this afternoon for a checkup. No cavities (虫歯) or other problems! Yay!
That was good news!
