Minami-Senri Park for ohanami

today was a very peaceful day here in Nyoidani. i finished watching Nagasaki Seiho win the spring baseball tournament. they beat the team from Iwate 1-0. Noriko ordered some obento for lunch (of course, i had the tonkatsu). i took the "blue-eyed" photo on the walk up to the obento-san-ya. after Noriko`s Mother returned from a few hours away from home, Noriko, her Father and i went to look for some cherry blossoms in bloom. we spent about an hour in Minami-Senri Park. some of the sakura were almost in full bloom, some only about 50%. after the park we ran a few errands. around 6pm, we returned home. a nice day followed by another delicious dinner. tomorrow we will finally get to see Dai-chan (Daigo) and Misa-chan (Misa). we will drive to Itami for the reunion.
