Japanese BBQ and the "Kaibutsu Ball"

Amazingly Chie gave a green light for a BBQ last Saturday, and we made it!!!




an hour and a half late but made it!



Chie had a really good time meeting everybody at the BBQ Saturday. We thank you all for inviting us. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and thank you for being so nice to both of us. It was a suprising to find out that some of you knew each other, so seeing you all together was strange for Chie and I. We thought, "what a small world! " We had not seen Mika in almost a year and a half! Good to see you again. It was a great day for us and nice to get out and enjoy the weather!
It was fun to kick the ball and play dodgeball. The food was oishii. We are still eating what you all gave us. Chie loved the cookies!!!!
It was a real honor for Chie to receive a ball from our Boston Red Sox Supporters Mikio and Daisuke, who signed a baseball to Chie. I think it only took about 3 minutes before she dropped it and we had it covered in BBQ sauce from the ribs while we snapped pictures of everyone in pitcher's poses and swinging the bat like we were sending it out of the park!!!! nah,, just kidding, ,,, kind of.


We greatly appreciate the support and thought that went into getting it to Chie. She felt very special. We spent the evening researching the Redsox and their Japanese Pitcher Daisuke "Kaibutsu" Matsuzaka. We hope to one day meet and thank you both in person. It was truly truly our honor to have been recognized by you.


A special special thanks to Yoshiko and Mikio for making it happen.





We love ya,




Chie and DAVE
