You have been in here for many years now and made good notes of life in Japan as well as your progress in needlework, quilting and beading.
It's nice to look back and see the various posts.

Oh my goodness this was fun to look back and see some of your posts, love the fact that Japan changed to wooden flat wear, I use a wooden handled toothbrush, I know the bristles are plastic but at least I am keeping more plastic out of the trash and did get rid of all my Tupperware many, many years ago, I use glass and when buying and freezing meat I wrap in freezer paper, I am not a fan of plastic bags either.
Thank-you for sharing your throwback years.
