The first daughter of Dan-san and Hiroko will be 50 years old soon. It is scary.
Dan-san’s brother’s wife (S-san) had such carering heart for
everybody. Because of her wonderful heart
the 50th Wedding Anniversary for Dan-san and Hiroko was held at the house of
Amanda and Steven. Their backyard is
very spacey and pretty, where they put the beautiful tent to have the
dinner. Steven said he was taking care
of the yard since April, to lawnmowing, filling the soil in the hole and making
the ground flat, landscaping at the front of the house, and making vegetable
beds. He made the place beautiful.
Hiroko forgot to take the photos for those landscapes. Sorry Steven!
Amanda ordered some foods, but she cooked most of the foods all day long. Elsa went to help her, so she knew how hard
Amanda worked to prepare the dinner. Elsa
told Hiroko that money can’t buy Amanda’s hard work, so just love her and say
thanks. Amanda purchased the Disk Jockey
Jimmy for the party. It was wonderful
idea. You can see in the photos how all
of the attendees enjoyed the music and Jimmy’s singing. Amanda and Steven’s hard work made possible
this wonderful anniversary celebration.
Thank you!
Dan-san’s brother (T-san) and his whole family came for the
celebration from the out of states.
First of all, T-san and S-san came from California.
This is their room to say for three nights. Hiroko made some body wash gloves and dish
wash cloth for them. Hiroko will post
those crafts in the craft category in near future.
Here is long time friend Leo, T-san and S-san, and Dan-san
Second night, Goya Chanpuru was cooked, but T-san and
Dan-san said they would not eat the Goya, so sausage and some vegetable from
Dan-san garden were served.
Third night, T-san and S-san invited their friend and
Dan-san/Hiroko to the Calo Italian Restaurant.

The 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner Party
The day’s host, the lady of the house, Amanda – She worked
so hard to put things together and cooked many dishes. You can see what she did the following photos.
This is Steven – he was doing many thing on the day, too. This is one of the things. He is spraying for mosquitoes. One of Dan-san friends who had problem of
mosquitoes in Hawaii said it is very good there’s no mosquitoes in this garden.
Steven was carrying the spray can to spray the certain area for mosquitoes.
This sign was prepared by the Lady of the House. This is same design of the invitation card.
The tent and table/chair were rented, and Amanda/Steven and
other friends set them up. When it is
getting dark these torches all around the tent were lighted by Steven.
Table decoration – Seven big roses in the glass vase, blue balloons,
and 1 bottle Don Perignon for each table to toast.
People enjoy playing toss game on the beautiful flat lawn.

this kind of celebration?
Hiroko was given a chance to share how Dan-san in America

many people’s concern and love made Dan-san and Hiroko together. It will be too long to write at here, so
someday Hiroko will post this sharing.
Disk Jockey, Jimmy sung songs continuously, while everyone
were eating delicious food.
Hiroko forgot to take the photos of foods. Very, very regrettable!
