Hiroko has been suffering Jet-lag for weeks. Hopefully everyone knows what jet-lag
is. It is awful feeling like walking in
the air between Japan and Chicago.
Hiroko has been waking up around 2 or 3 o’clock and couldn’t go back to
sleep. During the day time Hiroko was
half up and half in the dream.
Because of this problem, Hiroko tried to cook easiest food
for Steven’s B-day dinner. Well, corn
beef is the best. St. Patrick day was
just passed. Corn beef should be sold in
inexpensive price. It was wrong! It was too late to buy corn beef 5 days after
the St. Patrick’s .day. There was only 3
corn beef left and each one of them was over 10 lbs. Well, Hiroko had to buy it and cooked it.
Hiroko forgot to take photo, but there was Tonkatsu for
Richard. He couldn’t come for his B-day
dinner, so this was his belated B-day dinner.
He loves Tonkatsu.
No goma-ae, but there were cooked vegetable dish and salad
No one except Elsa and Lisa, loves this Shake (salted
salmon) and Tarako (Cod roe) from Japan.
These were very, very delicious.
These foods were served for Steven’s B-Day dinner.
Birthday cake - The cake from Swedish Bakery which Steven loves was Steven’s B-Day cake. Amanda told Hiroko last year.
Steven was very appreciating for
the cake.
These people came for the dinner.
It was very surprised, Leo came
for the dinner. Because of something happened in his labyrinthitis (inner ear
balance organ) he has not been able to keep his
balance. He isn’t still well, but he
said he went to dance once.
As usual Lisa/Dave and Mikio/Steven Sorry to hear that Amanda was not feeling
well that night.
Elsa/Richard went home early, because Elsa wasn't feeling
well.
Hiroko thinks she had the jet lag from traveling to Japan,
too. First couple of day in Japan, she
could sleep through until 6 or 7 o’clock morning from 12 midnight. But days passed by, she has been waking up
around 2 or3 o’clock, and couldn’t go back to sleep. Japanese rooms were very, very cold. She felt like she was sleeping outside. Hiroko’s sister-in-law was unexpectedly no
doing well, so there were so many things to do.
Hiroko was scared because of very tired and cold and worried about her sister-in-law
and her brother, she felt her limitation.
One morning she was crying out for the Lord in her bed, and then, she
heard someone’s prayer in her mind. It
was the time of Mikio’s prayer time. Hiroko realized Mikio was praying for her. Hiroko felt very peace in Jesus, and slept
till 6 o’clock in the morning.
It is very blessed and important to have the faithful prayer
partners.
