Two of three daughters are at home now. Both are on vacation from each university. My house really comes to life in this period. Even our dog, Mocha, looks like he is pleased with the atmosphere.
The youngest lives in a local city and needs to drive a car, but the eldest lives in Tokyo. She does not have to use a private car. Tokyo has a developed system of transportation. Finally, the driving skills of the youngest are better than those of the eldest, though the eldest got her driving license four years earlier.
The second daughter lives in Germany now, but she will be back at the end of January. She is supposed to go directly back to her university, so it would be in March for all the daughters to get together at home. I can't wait for the day.
