Homeschool on the Run!

Chuckles has a new friend, one that she met on sleep away camp in Pennsylvania.  She lives only 30 minutes away.  This is very exciting for her especially because she is Japanese.  Today she had her first play-date at her friend’s house. They made sushi, decorated cookies, jumped on their bouncy castle and played the Japanese WII. 

Her friend is extremely gracious and kind with beautiful manners, a wonderful example of being a good friend. I am so happy that Chuckles is having this experience. 

I went to Japan for a month when I was 12 and stayed in Kanagawa-ken, the same place this family comes from.  Unfortunately they have to return to Japan in a few months. I know they can be pen-pals but we are sad that they only have a few months together. The mother and I have already discussed the possibility of home stays in Japan/US.  I would love for Chuckles to visit Japan.  I might just have to go too seeing I haven’t been back since I was 12!
