Larry Carlton

15 Sept, Saturday - went for our first jazz concert in Fukuoka!!!! Also, it was the first time we've left our kids with someone other than family or teachers. Quite a milestone! Our pastor's wife, Miyuki, kindly volunteered to give us some couple time. Since it's my husband's birthday in a week's time and Larry was coming to town, I gratefully accepted her offer. The kids had a blast. Aunty Miyuki had come prepared with games, craft and even a good behaviour chart. The boys love her.

We had a blast too. Billboard Fukuoka just opened and they're playing host to several interesting acts. It's a cosy place which serves dinner, snacks and drinks. We were less than 10-feet away from Mr Carlton and were happily bobbing our heads to "Smiles and Smiles To Go". You should have seen the big smiles on our faces as we left for home.
