Denny's in Japan

Well, it was Saturday night date night and we decided to go to...Denny's! It's a bit different from the Denny's back in America.

Saturday Night Dinner

Usually on Saturday night we like to splurge a little bit and one of our favorite delivery places is a sushi delivery. There is nothing like placing an order and within an hour, we have sushi at our doorstep. All we have to do is set the trays outside our front door the next morning and they come and pick them up.

This is one of our usual platters.

We love the tuna and cucumber cut rolls.

Alex and I like to get a side of udon.

Beetles as Pets?

My students daily bring in beetles to keep in the classroom.  They are getting bigger and bigger.  One day during parent conferences one beetle was chewing the plastic container it was in and escaped somewhere in the classroom.  Students came in every day and looked for it.  We forgot about it and then I moved a chair one time and found it ALIVE.  What it ate we don't know.  But the students were so happy we found it.

The Sound of the Cicadas

I posted a video last year walking through the park near our school. This year I stopped near a tree to take the video. They are so loud that I can't really hear my music through my headphones.
