01/08/2006: "Best Wishes for the New Year 2006"

It's already been two years since we came back to Tokyo and Loui was born. But it's long enough for kids to have grown up to look totally different. For Misumi and Koji, maybe. Chichi will be joining with Mikio at Iguchi Elementary School to be a first-grader next spring.
Kids also give us a better chance to link up ourselves to the local community. Misumi has been joining in the bunko activities where kids are exposed to English books. Koji has become a member of Mitaka international friendship association which addresses the issue of inclusion of foreign residents in the local community.
In October, we have put up the first foreign visitors at home and enjoyed their stay overnight. In the year 2006, we are expecting another visitor from Chicago in June. It could be you the next time. You are always welcome.
Hope this finds you all well and the year 2006 will be another wonderful year for you all.

If the weight is given in decimal parts of a carat, the figure should be accurate to the last decimal place. One type of treatment fracture filling conceals cracks in diamonds by filling them with a foreign substance. If diamond weight is stated as fractional parts of a carat, the retailer should disclose two things that the weight is not exact thejewelryhotspot com, and the reasonable range of weight for each fraction or the weight tolerance being used. thearcdirectory com http://www.thearcdirectory.com/link-page-3.htm
