voluteer reading at the library and luch at a cafe

Last Sunday it was a day of my volunteer reading at the library.

A friend came to help me.

On the day many events were held in Utsunomiya, but four families joined us, and two of them were regular families.

I introduced these two books, saying "happy belated Mother's day".

The friend is my good model to learn how to spend our retirement life.

Her husband used to work at the same office of my husband, So she knows very well about our financial situation. She has two daughters and the daughters don't live in this town. The situation is very similar to ours.

After the activity, we dropped by a bakery café, and shared this big baguette.

 

 

We had free refills on coffee. What a economical café it is!

 

We talked about "FU-genn- byou".

There are two meanings. One "fu" means husband, the other "fu" means wife.

Both of them are kind of disease caused by husband's presence, or wife's presence.

Starting a retirement life, for both a husband and a wife, It is for the first time to stay at home together all day since they got married. So each presence might be stressing each other out.

 

What do you think of it?
