Best friends forever!

東京都内でもこんなに自然がいっぱい。
週末は高校時代からのお友達のお家にお泊りしてきました。

Last weekend, we had a sleep-over at my friends' house.  We've been friends for over twenty years!  Wow, it makes me feel really old... Now, she is living in a suburb of Tokyo with her fabulous  family.  It still has lots of nature around the city, and we had so much fun!



クワガタまで捕れちゃうんです。シーズン中はカブトムシが40匹くらい捕れるんですって。お友達パパにいっしょに連れて行ってもらった子供達にとって一生の思い出です。デパートで買うものだと思っていた私にも、オオッってな感じでした。

Have you seen this?  It's a stag beetle.  These ones and Japanese rhinoceros beetles are really expensive.  All I knew was that we used to buy them at department stores.  BUT, my friend's husband and the kids went to get them in the morning in the nearby forest, and they came home with two of them plus a drone beetle.  How wonderful of an experience for Amalie and Luther!



ママになった私達、まったく違う人生を歩いているけど何十年たってもなんにもずれない友情が本当に嬉しいひとときでした。ともだちって宝物ですね。

何年も会っていないちびっこ達も、まるで幼馴染です。ずっと、ずっと、お友達でいてほしいな^^



Another friend joined us on the first day, so the three of us had such a dreamy time.  After decades of knowing each other, we've been through completely different seasons of our lives, but still we haven't changed anything at all.  They are my treasures.  We'll be probably sipping a cup of tea and chatting and laughing for many more years to come.
