Twenty Roses

November 3rd ,three days ago, came to us a bit different from usual year, with this year marking our 20th wedding anniversary.

I married Kiyono at a small church in Chiba prefecture on the national holiday(Culture day in Japan), November 3rd  in 1991.
It’s not too long ago, just twenty years or two decades ago.

We had a party to cerebrate the anniversary at a small restaurant called ‘AG Café’ on the top of a hill viewing Utsunomiya city.
On our way back home, we dropped in a local flower shop and bought big size red roses.

How will 30th anniversary come to us? What will I be thinking of? Where or which country shall we live in?

Maybe, I don’t know. The answer is blowing in the wind.

My Wife's Birthday

My wife Kiyono became forty three years old two days ago on October 17.  I gave a red rose to her on the day.

I usually play tennis on the top of the building on Saturday afternoon. After finishing the tennis, I went to a flower shop located on the basement floor in the same building and bought it.

I don’t think I’m such a romanticist as a guy who buys 43 roses to his wife. But even it is only one rose, it can brighten and change atmosphere of our small condominium.

Our rabbit was watching the rose enviously for a long time.
