J and I get together and enjoy breakfast. that was my idea. However when I got the restaurant in J-town he wasn't there. I couldn't see his car either. What more, I forgot my cell-phone. I couldn't contact him. It was rain this morning.  There was no public telephone so, I came back home and called him. He said that " I called you twice and left message, I caught cold so I decided not to come.
All this thing happened just because I forgot my Cell-phone.

N and I sit an outside table. N had a little dog with him so that was good idea. We found this cafe on Larchmont st. last Friday. We both liked the place and their food so we were back again. We liked it so much even we ordered exactly same menu. This place going to be our favorite place.

It was the last class of this month. 
I arrived at the class on time and three students showed up same time. 
We had two and half more students came thirty minutes later.
The last class of the month usually less attendance but it was not bad today's class.
I did a demonstration. It was painting without pencil sketch.

Today's lesson is "Don't give up things easily" 
I have tendency of that. 
I have to be careful not to do.

I enjoyed a breakfast at the cafe in J-Town.
 I had a Japanese and American mixed style breakfast.

It was Sunday morning breakfast meeting.

J and I get together at J-Town and enjoy breakfast and conversation.

We have been doing this for decades.

And we get old together.

We had more member for this but now only J and I.

This is Saturday. It was cloudy all day long. But yesterday's weather report was It's going to be rain today. So, I should be happy because we didn't have rain today.

I finished painting watercolor I started yesterday. I liked the painting. I did good job.

N and I went to a restaurant on Larchmont street to have a breakfast. This is the first time came to this restaurant and I forgot to check the name of the place. I wasn’t really hungry so I looking for something light. They were names of ordinary breakfast menu. An  American breakfast is so big Just look at it I lose my appetite. So, I was looking for something light. I found a waffle with fruit topping. That’s sound light enough. I was right. It was just  about right amount of meal and it was good. I enjoyed it.

I am going to N's house this afternoon. Reason? I don't know he wants me to come. May be he is planning surprise party or something.

I stayed at friend's house last night and came home early this morning. Oh, I almost forgot, on the way home I had a breakfast with my other friend at the restaurant in J-town. 

A watercolor painting I started yesterday,
I add little more brushes and down.

Today is he first watercolor class this year. And the first watercolor demonstration, too. Anyway, this year start from here. I have to do my best today. 

I needed cash money. So, I went to my bank. I tried draw some money but I couldn't do it. Computer didn't prove my pin number. That's funny. I was sure I did punch in right number. I tried 5 or 6 times and gave up. It was mystery. what was happening. Well, I still need cash, I have to go to bank and try it again. 

I had toasts with peanut butter and jam on it this morning. It was something new for me. I usually eat an oatmeal in the morning. It was good.

I call my oatmeal Japanese style oatmeal. It's special way to make. 

A friend and I went to Japanese food market after the breakfast. He wanted to get Japanese udon noodles. So, recommended instant udon which has fresh noodles instead of dried one. I think some how it better than dried noodles.

He called me late and ask me how to cook the noodles. A cooking instruction is only Japanese. I thought imported product always English one too, but I was wrong. I explained how to make it. I am glade that I bought same noodles for my self so I now how to cook. Otherwise I can't explain to him on the phone. I think he got it because he didn't call me back. At least not yet.

Due to heavy rainstorm January 6th class was canceled. Therefore, the first class of 2016 will be January 13th. 

Same day, we do watercolor demonstration.

Come and enjoy our class.

I had a breakfast with N at the little bakery on Larchmont St. We had coffee and blueberry muffin.

A friend and I went out for a dinner. It's was our favorite restaurant Du-par's. It's located in the famous tourist spot the farmer's market. I tried a chicken potpie for the first time. It  was big. I couldn't finished it. I took half of it home. 

Rain again. It's going to be rain until this coming weekend.
At least that what weather report says. 

I had a watercolor class this afternoon. But We had very heavy rain and I received mail from student. Not only one, mail kept coming. I received total of seven mails. Some student asked me if we have a class today. What going on, this is only rain. 

Finally, I recovered from cold. 

I feel wonderful and more energy. 

I started painting watercolor yesterday. 

And before I finish it I started new one. 

6:30am It was still dark outside. Usually it getting lighter by now. I could't wait any longer. I decided to go for morning walk. I wore sneakers and opened the front door.
Then I saw it's raining. No wonder it was dark like this. I canceled the morning walk. I will do it later when weather get better.

I enjoyed breakfast with J at the restaurant in Japan town. 

Then I went to Mituwa market in Torrance and I got two packages of sushi for the dinner. I was sick during new year's eve and new year's day. I didn't want to do anything.  But now I recover from the cold and my energy back. So, I am going to have spacial new years' dinner tonight.
