Walking 13Km is a kind of exercise and very good hobbies for you. and also you walked with your wafe. Isn't it a very naice and happy thing ?. I envy you.

Because my wife has chronic illness, so I can't walk as you two. I think I had told you before about my wife's illness.

Well, I will tell you about our dogs a little more below.

Now, he is not with us anymore. So, we can’t go anywhere because small “she” can’t stay in the car alone. Now she and we got old, those travels were only remembrances.
Not only she can not stay alone in car but also she can not stay alone even in our house.
This means we only go out near home, and we have to come back in a few hours. Otherwise she surely cry around in the house.
Therefore , my wife and I seldom travel these years. And when we travel to somewhere we have to take her with us. So, we have to find out an inn or hotel which permit to stay with dogs.
to be cntinued.

Having dog is realy troublesome as you mentioned. We have had dogs for almost all our life. There is a long interesting story about dogs and our life. I will tell you about it, but being dog indeed restrict our life. So,it is a matter of selection among our life.

This is the story about dogs in our life. I will tell you about it " little by little".

Now, we have an old small dog. She is 16 years old female Maltese dog.
You know, 16 years old is just like 80 years old of mankind.

We used to have another dog, besides this small one.
That was a male and much lager than one which we have now . He was a mixed white smart dog. But unfortunately he died 4 years ago. He took care of small one very well.

We traveled around in Japan, of course I meant “traveled with dogs”.
We traveled by car even to Hokkaido and Kyushu. ( yes indeed it was long time ago).
When we went to Kyushu, small one was just one year old. We went to Kyushu by ferry from Kobe. And go to Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, and southern part of Miyazaki. And from Shibushi to Kobe we used ferry again on the way back home.
During staid in Kyushu, we lodging in tent sometimes, and when my wife and I lodged in an inn or hotel they staid in the car. In such occasions, he took car of her. So, we could go around anywhere as long as we could go by car.

Mr. フキヤマン、I don't know anything about sports or games which you cmented in this circle page. I agree with your ideas that man need to have something interestings without bread. But I am afraid htat I am too old to look for things like that.
And I also am afraid I can't follow you with your tastes.

Today ,it's a rainy day here. And we feel a little cold because of the wether.
I and my dog haven't gone out till this time today.
The condition like today makes me notice that dog is very paciente animal. My old tiny dog put up with staying in house for all day long. She never pees inside the house.
I think she is realy a admirable animal. And it's a common sense for dogs. Don't you think so ?.
Any way, dog is very interesting animal, so, I will tell you much about dogs latter.

I am now feeling a big surprise because you wrote here so early time in the morning. It is 5:30 in the morning.
I am surly sleeping at that time.

I get up at about 8:30 and go to bed 10:30 or so.
I think my life is exactly defferent from your's for you have a work and I have no work.

My wife is calling me now, I have to go. Sorry !.

Since 20th we are having very good days for 5 days.
Owari region where I am living is now just in the best season in a year. Not so hot and not so cold.

after a month or so, north wind will starts to blow, we
call this north wind "Ibuki Oroshi". Ibuki means the name of a mountain which is on around the border of OMOTE NIHON and URA NIHON.

Today,I went to see a doctor. The doctor has taken care of my blood pressure for years. My blood pressure is not so high (about 130 and 85) and I don't so mind about it any way.

But one unpleasant thing is to take so mach time untill come back home. In another words waiting time is too long. But it may be a common sence to wait long time at a hosipital or a clinic now a days.

Sorry Karl, for I don't care about any games on machines.
If I have child, I minght be familiar with them.

Today, for good day (fine clear autumn day) I went out for a walk. I usualy go walking every other days. It takes about one hour and about four kirometers in distance.
The walking is for freshness of my body and heart.

About a falf of my walking root is along a river. The way on the bank gives me seasons pleasure in sight and in feeling.

I almost laughed readinng your letters that said you would be the same condtion as mine soon.

Don't be afraid your situation now. You have nice familly members, especialy your daughter.
Even though we don't have chaild, I have managed to live for more htan 35 years.

You want to know how I live everyday without having Wrok.
I know your feeling. But it's OK.

Times and days pass by doing nothing.
I think I will write you about my daily Life , what I did, whehe I went, what happend in my home and so on.

It might be help for your future life. But I can't write you every day.

today is my birthday. Do you know how many times of ?.
But, I would say it much better to keep it in secret, for it's not so happy for my age any way.

I am not familier with the Tokyo and I can't understand the meaning of that you are living in around Hatiouji earia.

I used to pass Tokyo station many times to go several places in Tiba, Ibaragi and Gunnma Pref.. Ofcause these were on buisiness. But I don't know about the city of Tokyo except Sinjyuku (it was about 40 years ago , actuary).

Any way, you are very lucky you have nice daughter. Don't forget very dangerouse condition about girles these days.

I am feeling very happy for that you worried about the condition of my wife.

BY the way, I am a little afraiding that if you are doing earnestly too much. Because you told that you have the work.
Having work, write here so often must be very busy. Please take it easy and we will keep in touch with for long time.

I myself,it's ok.
Because every day is Sunday for me.

I will say again , "take it easy".

Oh !, I almost forget abot your question about the place where I went.

I went to Hokkaido,Hokuriku,Sikoku ( except Ehime and Kouchi),kyushu and Chuubu(where I am living now).

The only domestic place where I want to go is Okinawa especialy southern part islands.

This morning felt a slite cold.
This was the first time I felt a cold this autumn.
I felt a little sorry we have to feel "cold" so soon. I haven't had enjoy this good season yet.

We had planed that we (my wife, I and our dog) would go to SIKOKU where my wife's birthplace sice today for a few days.
But, unfortunately, wife's cnditions got worse (she has a chronic illness), so we quited to go out.

I expect that you will get a lot of kiwi fruites.
