Our 20 year old Japanese exchangee, Anna, left for Japan this morning. We'll remember her stay as a busy time filled with lots of cooking and dining. Here are five images from her visit: Anna making rice balls for us.

Lil insisted on holding a lemonade stand and Anna helped her.

I will measure and frame this watercolor for Lil's room. I'll miss most the beautiful drawings Anna made.
