Jimoto no Gaijin

Who am I? Since 1985,a resident of Ajigasawa, a small town on the west coast of Honshu, Japan- yes, way up there near the top, in Aomori Prefecture. Problem? I've got the wrong face (Canadian Celt). People still give a start when they round the supermarket aisle and see me. So, who am I? Jimoto no Gaijin- the local foreigner.

Curiosity- maybe that's why I like cats?

How To Make Your Granddaughter Happy For $1.60

My granddaughter tends to regard me with some suspicion when I appear for visits.
"This is the guy who kisses me with that prickly beard." (I think her father's beard is softer).
On Tuesday we went for an overnight stay at a nearby resort, at the invitation of our son and daughter-in-law. We had a wonderful time together. Some mention had been made of Grace's interest in balls. So, when I saw a nice, red, squeaky one in a gift shop, I got it for her.

She loved it. It really did seem to lessen her distrust of her fuzzy granparent.
Sometimes I manage to get it right.
