Birthday Party Lunch
If you've known me long, you know I love my birthday and celebrate the entire month of December. My friends invited me for a sushi birthday lunch yesterday, as they have in the past. They are always so kind.
After eating sushi, we talked and looked at a United States map and I pointed out various things. I hadn't looked at a US map in a while and I think I had forgotten how big the country is.
When it was time for me to leave, I was given this trio of special Japanese sweets made especially for me! On the left is Mt. Fuji with sakura petals, Miho no Matsubara (pine trees), ocean waves, and Happy Birthday. The middle sweet is my favorite animal, complete with a bamboo snack. On the right is a mikan, a tangerine type of citrus fruit which is grown locally.
I am so thankful for the good friends I have here in Shizuoka. I think I will stay here forever.

Many Happy Returns of the Month!
You are lucky to have such good friends who celebrate you in style. The Japanese sweets are fantastic! The peel of the mina looks so real it can fool anyone!
Oh, I say let the celebrations continue -- and this is a fine one. You have lovely, generous friends. Can you possibly bear to eat those sweets? I'm not sure I could -- they're so cute and so intricately made, I would just want to look at them until they began attracting bugs!
Happy birthday month!
Those sweets are just too cute to eat.
It looks like a lovely birthday celebration! The sweet treats look lovely and the panda is adorable.
Happy birthday month! The sushi looks delicious and those snacks are so very cute. Did you eat them already or still keeping them to look at?
