Memorial Day BBQ

BBQ season starts at Memorial  Day and end at Labor Day. That I believed.
Pork Rib, and Chicken, sometime Beef, are our family menu.
Don't forget potatoes salad, and cold beer, roasted summer vegetables. 
Enjoy food, enjoy holiday.

メモリアルデーは夏一番のＢＢＱのはじまり。我が家の定番はバックリブ、チキン、時々牛肉。
ポテトサラダ、夏野菜の焼き物に冷やしたビールで幸せ気分。

ハッピーホリデー

Happy Memorial Holiday Dinner

I went to Ranch99 to fill up my empty refrigerator.  I remembered that this weekend was Memorial Holiday weekend.   BBQ dinner is good idea, but over calories.  Japanese style dinner is good for my diet.

空っぽの冷蔵庫だからランチ９９でお買い物、
メモリアルホリデーだということに気がついて、
ＢＢＱにしようかとも思ったけれど、結局和風にしました。

Happy Memorial Holiday!!

Happy Money Management

 Money matters are very sensitive and private issue even within your family.
 But it is very important to make open atmosphere to discussing about family financial issue within your family. 
For example, you are at age 55 and your parents are still alive around age 80's. You have children and wife, and your both parents are still active. However you are worried about your parents future, financially and physically. Do they have enough money to cover medical expense, or who takes care of my parents when they become ill?  I am 55 and I worry about my job security, and I cannot afford to take care of my parents if they become sick. 
 Even you have some monies to support your parents, you want to ask them how much money or asset they have?  How they want to handle their money and assets in case they become incapable.  Some parents get mad, and hate to talk about money matter within the family, and some parents are very open to discuss.
 If you start discussing about it, your parents feel that you want to their money, but the truth is that you are planning to save your money to help your parents, and you need to  figure out how much you have to save every month to contribute you parents financially.

 You have chance to discuss with your parents, if only one time marriage, but if it is complected family structure, I guess you better not to discuss about it. Instead, suggest to see financial advisor or lawyer to discuss their financial matter.

 Happy $$ management

Congratulation!! Happy Departure

Graduation season, every graduation has memory, joy  and achievement.
We attended Ada's UC Berkeley graduation. UC Berkeley has "African American Studies Black Graduation". 99.9% are Black students. A first I notice that why only black students? I did not see any Asians, whites. Then I found out that is for Black students graduation. All students were so proud of themselves, and satisfied their achievement. They cried  at the stage. The graduation ceremony and student size was just right.
"Congratulation!! Ada"

I remembered my son's UC Davis graduation 6years ago. He and his friends were drunk on the day of the graduation. We stepped in his house and stepped out in second with speechless. Somehow, my son managed to get up and dash in to the graduation ceremony with hangover head.  No joy, no achievement, no appreciation, only headache was remained, but he graduated in 5years anyway.
 His friend just graduated in 10 years. I guess freshness means finish school in certain time is important to say congratulation. His friend case is out dated and said "Congratulation, finally"

 Well all graduated one way the other. Welcome to real world, get a job and work hard. Enjoy yur life.

Just Sold, Happy investment

I just sold this Santa Teresa area house in San Jose. Each transaction has drama, but all parties are happy at the end.  Happy move in and move out.

POPEYES



説明を追加

 My clients live Outer Mission area in San Francisco, and I have been working for them to look for their new house in their neighborhood area for while. They could not find what they really want.  " It is not buy food, this is very expensive purchase, no return, no exchange." Mrs buyer said. I agreed. They liked my patient too. I go to their house Tuesday at 1pm, sometime every week sometime bi-week, it is depend on what 's on the market. Beside house hunting, Popeyes at Geneva and Mission street destructs my attention. Every time I pass this street, it is always long line in front of Popeyes. At first, I thought peoples are waiting for bus,because it is located at busy corner's bus stop too. Papeyes are franchise fast food  restaurant, and I have never seen such a crowd by customers.  Today finally I tried to line up at the Popeyes, I wonder what to order, but I do not have enough coins to put in my parking meter.I did not want to get ticket, so I give up to buy.  Later Mrs buyer told me why Popeyes are crowded on Tuesday.  "It's only 99 cents for 2 pieces of chicken on Tuesday, they 've been doing for long time, they never change 99cent. You should try once."
Then after showing the houses, I tried to go but it's closed already, it was just before 4pm.  Well I will try some Tuesday.  Happy Tuesday, Happy Fried Chicken.
