Gaining a Daughter

I'm still waiting for the disk of photos from KGK Camp. So all the KGK entries I had planned are on hold for the moment.

But here are couple of photos of our expedition to Hakodate on Monday to meet our son's future in-laws. (Luke has posted a full collection on his blog.) By amazing co-incidence Mr. Takahashi's hometown is Yuda in Iwate - the very place we had just been for the KGK Camp last week.

Yuko chose the Old English Consulate in Moto Machi for our meeting place - a place where Mary and I have often stood gazing through from the little gift shop and wishing we were comfortabley seated in the tea shop instead of just windowshopping. This time I was comfortably seated! The sun shone and we drank pots and pots of tea while we talked.

Luke and Yuko's Happy Parents

Luke is very fortunate in his choice of a wife and we are all looking forward to their marriage on June 25th.

For those of you who are impatient to see the camp photos I found a few on the Zion Kinshuko website - see if you can find the photos (本日のシオン錦秋湖）and the first 5 or 6 photos feature the KGK Camp. (That will change when they finish the High School Camp this week and the Jr.High Camp next week.)
