The Christmas season has started☆

Hi guys, it's Rose. How have you been up to?

I thought about living a new apartment and searched for a place to live on the net, but it's not going well.  I might keep living at the present apartment.

When it comes to Christmas time... Have you seen the buildings lit up already? I love this season when we wait for Christmas. The brilliant illuminations in town fill my heart with happiness.

We hear or see the news reports about COVID-19 on TV, the radio, and websites every day. More and more people are infected with the Coronavirus all around the world. Be care of the pandemic! Still, we can keep joyful heart. Would you come to see the pictures of Christmas lights I will post later? :)

Enjoy every moment.

Wishing you warmness and love... Rose 

Going to the cemetery and pray on All Saints' Day

 Today, and tomorrow, we pray for Saints, and those who passed away.     － Collie

November 1st, 2020    All Saints' Day

A prayer for the Forgotten Dead

O Merciful God, take pity on those souls

who have no particular friends and intercessors

to recommend them to Thee, who, either

through the negligence of those who are alive,

 or through length of time are forgotten

by their friends, families and by all.

Spare them, O Lord, 

and remember Thine Own Mercy,

when others forget to appeal to it.

Let not the souls, which Thou hast created,

be parted from Thee, their Creator.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, 

through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

Amen.

November 2nd, 2020    All Souls' Day

Hands down the best in Ginza!? Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc @CAFE de GINZA MIYUKI-KAN.

Dear people who visit my blog often, I'd love to present you a charming chestnut cream cake❤︎

Charming, and elegant. I know I can't get you to taste it now actually. Moreover, traveling itself is difficult due to the corona crisis. But if you are interested in visiting Japan sometime in the future, please keep that in your mind, this chestnut cream cake is available at several cafes in Ginza. 

Shop List → Where you can find CAFE de GINZA MIYUKI-KAN 

The interior of the cafe is reminiscent of South France. Though I haven't been to South France😓

If you are American, you don't know very much about this kind of chestnut cake, right? It is called "Mont Blanc".  Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc here is said, the most delicious Mont Blanc in Ginza, Tokyo. If you live in Tokyo area, would you like to try it this autumn? 😘

Chestnut cream is made from sweet and fragrant chestnuts grown in Kumamoto-prefecture. Crispy meringue, fresh whipped cream, and layered dense chestnut cream... They are made twice a day to keep the meringue crispy. We are happy about it and thankful to the shop! 

You can see the making proses here. → How to make Mont Blanc at CAFE de GINZA MIYUKI-KAN

You can order meals, too. 

It's also good you enjoy the featured Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc after the meal as a dessert...if you have a room for it. Heheheh.

Wishing everyone good luck this month of November and all days throughout the year.

 Happy All Saints' Day.  Rose

LUNA/CLIF and KIND bars from Michigan to Tokyo with Love❤︎

 A while ago, I received several American protein bars from Collie. When I was working from home, a package was delivered to me by a postman. Nice timing!😮💚  I was just about to grab some coffee.

in Tokyo

He he he...😋 I don't know which one to choose♪ Chocolate browny...chocolate chip, or....? 

I noticed something written on the card. It is a part of the way he wrote,

"and my love go out to you....."

（●－－●）

So, I display the postcard in my room. 

in Michigan

Collie purchased by carton and was eating bars for a while. Unfortunately, some dark chocolate seemed to develop his headache. So I asked him to send them to me. It costed him pretty much...(××)

Thank you😊  I will eat each one slowly and feel the taste of it. 

Just like you －

My best wishes, my prayers, and my love go out to you.....    Always, Rose

I finished proofreading! I cerebrated it alone at Le Beurre Noisette on Friday night.

It was a beautiful night.

 

After over half a year of the project, I cerebrated it alone at Le Beurre Noisette. Proofreading was completed today. Our company's Media Data 2021 is going to be published at November 2nd, 2020. I am a person in charge of the booklet and renewing it every year with production collaborators. 

Now cheers, Rose... You really gave it your all for a long time. Good work! I'm sure you did your best.  

I'm hoping the new Media Data will be again a good communication tool with clients as well as a planning tool and a help to increase advertising knowledge for employees of our company.  

French fries in truffle flavor. Big portions for myself. However, almost workers are working from home nowadays. I needed to come to the office for the final check, and later I walked to my favorite cafe. I should cerebrate even if by myself, right? 😘

The staff at Le Beurre Noisette was full of hospitality as always. Though the last call for drinks was 18:30, one of the guy staff offered me my last chance to get one more drink at 18:43. 

Another staff was like, "You can stay as much as you want." and she poured me water several times. Though happy hour was until 18:30, I stayed there before 20:30! 

I laid back, seeing a beautiful city view in the clean and crisp air at night. Thank you...

On the way to Otemachi Station. I saw CAFE GARB bustling with many people. No wonder, it's Friday! 

I'm gonna have to think about my next mission. To develop my ability on the advertising system so I could give coworkers insights. There is a lot of things I should learn from now. Maybe I can do more.

Have a great weekend, everyone.  Rose

Let's go see the autumn leaves! Collie's Autumn in Michigan & Rose's Autumn in Tokyo

Collie : I went biking. I only went once otherwise this year.

Collie : The pedal broke on your bike. I'm glad it didn't break when you rode it.

"your bike.".....(●－－●)　I'm glad he says that.

When I was visiting him in Michigan, he bought a new bicycle so I could use it. I was walking on air because I thought he bought me a bike. He healed my memory that I didn't be given a bike when I was a child. But later, he described it as his bike. So I told myself that he didn't buy the bike for me, but for him. 

Collie : I had a flat tire also.       

(・・)

He has a good way to find a small beginning of turning red in forest.

Hey... When is the best time to see fall foliage in Michigan?

And he has a good way to find a pure deer in forest. Look at this deer! She(?) doesn't look vigilant.  

My Autumns in Tokyo is －

MONT BLANC APPLE PIE @GRANNY SMITH APPLE PIE & COFFEE

Autumn is the best season for eating in Japan. As for me, it is like all seasons, though...😅

Chestnut cake is a popular autumn food in Japan. 

I feel fall in the air... How about your place where you live? Are you going to see the autumn leaves?
