 The Last Look at Obachan's Kitchen (I took this shot with my cell phone camera right before I left my apartment for good.) Dear Readers, I arrived at my parents' house safely this afternoon. There's a lot to tell you about the move and how I'm feeling here now, but I'm dead tired. For now, I just want to tell you that I made it alive and I still have access to the Internet. So, I'll see you soon when I start blogging on another blog. Keep your eyes on this post and I will link to my new blog soon. Very soon... because I'm going to need a lot of support from you to face my new challenges. Honestly, I'm so confused and almost scared when I think about adjusting here. But anyway, thank you very much for your support. I really enjoyed sharing my life with you all. See you soon. Good night! :) ---------- Hey! Thanks for waiting. Finally my new blog is ready. Go check out: See you there! :D |

I have been reading your blog for some time and thoroughly enjoy reading about life (and food) in Japan from your perspective.
I just thought this might be a good time to let you know that. I look forward to your new blog.
Good luck in your new setting.

dear Obachan, take it easy .One thing at a time. The world wont fall apart if u er.
For me now taking a new job at my age of late forties, coupled up at this recession period I cant help counting my blessing.Got a job working along with (who cares what the world is facing,I just wannna have fun)children, makes me happy,even with getting paid a fraction of my previous earning.
Life is not always fair but It rewards you well in other unexpected ways.
The truth is that as much as you plan n dream n move forward in ur life, remember you are acting in conjunction with the flow and energy of the universe.Move in the direction of your goal with all the force and verve you can muster- then let go.Let your dream unfold as its own masterpiece.Take time to sit back relax and enjoy.As much as we plan our life acutely, God has a better plan for us.
Each time I m amazed at the work you have done-your picture,your cooking(makes me drool) your posting.SPLENDID! You really accomplished good life.
Great happenings coming your way dear girl.BRING IT ON!
I waiting to discover it.Dont take too long:)
Best of regards from malaysiaelayne
So
Obachan, ganbatte ne! Take your time to adjust and things will fall in place. In the meantime, karada o kiotsukette ne! And looking forward to your new blog

Obachan! Not sure if you remember me, we used to comment on eachothers blogs ages ago. well, i've still be reading your blog all the time! btw, my blog is back too.
good luck with the new transition! looking forward to seeing your new blog
I love reading your blog. Thank you for showing us life in Japan. I can't wait to read how life is in the country. It will be comforting for you parents to have you home with them. Take care, take time to regroup and enjoy your new-old surroundings! Good luck.
Dear Obachan:
It seems it's time to say you I've been reading your blog for a year,(and never posted >_<) and I've really enjoyed your stories and recipes. I'll miss this place!
I'm looking forward your new blog.
Good luck and best wishes from Spain!! ^__^

Obachan! I didn't even know you were moving! Bikkuri deshita! I was just in Japan. My aunt lives in inaka, and it is very peaceful. I'm sure your parents will be very happy to have you at home. I look forward to reading your new blog.
Good luck with your move and settling into a new life. I'm sure the peace of the country and the beauty of nature will help you find the calm you need. I shall look forward to following your new blog, and perhaps country life will bring new vitality to your watercolour endeavours as well.
All the best.
Obachan;
I imagine it must be a bit scary to be uprooting yourself and starting a new life, but, what a way to do it!!!! A quiet, back to basics, country life is certainly the way to go!!! I am so envious!!! You will soon find yourself settling into a calmer state of mind,,,,I'm sure. How I wish I could have that life!!!!
Obachan, good luck! Like everyone else, I can't wait to read about your new life and your new adventures. Please take care, and hope we hear from you soon :)
Good luck with the big changes and looking forward to the new blog!
Obachan--I look forward to reading your new blog, whenever you are up to posting again! You seem to get such enjoyment from life even when things are difficult and I hope you will settle into your new life and find it interesting and rewarding. Best of luck!
Good luck! You don't know me, but I sometimes visited here and enjoyed the beautiful photos. Although I don't like cooking.
Please take it easy and I really look forward to seeing you.
Thank you!
私はこのブログの隠れファンでした。 料理は好きではないけれど、写真がどれも素敵でした。
人生ってほんとにいろいろありますね。 私もおばちゃん、といっても５０代ですからおばちゃんよりずっと年上です。
どうぞゆっくり休んでください、またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

Best of luck Obachan. I was just thinking about new beginnings this evening and the amazing feeling of terror combined with all that hope and expectations. And now here is your new beginning, just waiting for you.
I have had three such new beginnings in my life, going to college, moving to England for a new job, and moving to upstate New York for a new job. It is always terrifying but at the same time it is a wonderful opportunity to get to know more about your self and meet new people.
I look forward to your new blog.
All readers have already said the words what I wanted to say. I`m also realy looking forward to reading your blog about your life, recipe and small adventure. Good luck!
Good luck obachan. Please continue blogging. Your pictures are beautiful, as well as, your well written stories.
Aloha from Hawaii,

Everyone has already said all the good things I wanted to say ... ah well.
After reading your blog for many years, admiring your photos (even tried a couple of things - and I normally don't cook), I'm looking forward to learning about life in the Japanese countryside. I'm sure your parents are thrilled to have you come home.
Be well, rest awhile, and don't forget about us ... we're all awaiting the birth of the new blog.
God bless, Christine in Los Angeles
