Day 216: Farmers Market

Wednesday is Tustin's Farmer's Market.

A little bit of everything ...

Locals love the variety, the colors, 

aroma, scents ... and the samples!  

Wednesday 9 - 1 PM.

                  

      

Now wasn't that fun?

Day 215: Back in the saddle?

I retired from teaching karate at Costa Mesa Dojo ...

after thirty years, in December of 2011.

(I now train at our Hombu Dojo in Santa Ana)

But when Roy called, I agreed to sub for him today.

And, I thought I would show you ...

a few of the young faces at Costa Mesa Dojo today ...

誕生日おめでとう Jamieson

It was Jamieson's 9th birthday, 
so we did 9 of everything, instead of 10.
On the 9th one, we wished him ...

Tanjoubi omedetou!
