12/15 Thursday: Ishinomaki Kids & Old Folks

        Long day, so this will be kinda short.  We had great time at the kindergarten and old-folks home.  The little kids aren't able to use their own school because of tsunami damage, so are sharing space with an undamaged school.  They were gap-jawed when we first met, but enjoyed the songs, and sang along well.  It was hard to say Good-bye.

        Between concerts, we stopped for lunch at a Cocos that has reopened - fun to be there in our costumes!


        The old-folks home was really interesting.  We sang 3 times here, beginning with the most active group, then the assisted-living group, and concluding with the extra needs folks.  They enjoyed the songs, and sang along too.  Seemed to know the English lyrics for some of the songs, especially Jingle Bells.  Talking with each group afterwards was a delight.

        Before heading home, we spent a few minutes at the Be One house with the Huddlestons who are living there now.  It was my turn to cook tonight so made Mexican Haystacks - turned out pretty well.  Good talk with Gilberts tonight.
