Each year-end in Tokyo and in Michigan.

Regardless....it is New Years Eve Day.

I don't know why, or it's simply for the new normal that arose after COVID-19, but I just can't get in the holiday spirit this year. You know, it was a strange year.

Baccarat Eternal Lights. The majestic baccarat chandelier from France was set up in Ebisu Garden Place this year again. It's the largest baccarat chandelier in the world. 

For me, the Christmas spirit is not just feeling or doing a Christmassy thing, but rather, appreciating what we have now, and generosity, kindness, charity towards others. All the more reason, "Christmas all year round" becomes deep thinking. 

This year has quickly gone by, just studying a job skill one by one. I'm doing self-study to improve my skill at work even during this holidays! I hope I can get in the holiday spirit next year.

A picturesque sunset in Michigan. Thank you for always sending me the beautiful picture, Collie. 

The pandemic will continue next year. In spite of the site title "Loving Michigan", I am in Tokyo. Still, I can feel Michigan through his pictures. Maybe I can think of it like my blog connects Tokyo, Michigan, and World by posting Michigan pictures. 

There's a lot that happened this year but finally now I'm in good spirits. Thank God!

Guys, this is the last post in 2020. Thank you very much for visiting my blog. 

May you have a wonderful end of the year and a peaceful beginning...

 Good luck to all of us, Rose.

LOVE & WISHES

Have you ever seen a STARBUCKS surrounded by Christmas lights trees outdoor?

 At dusk, dim lights in the distance caught my eyes. What is that place?  I'm approaching...

Trees are decorated with Christmas lights in front of a STARBUCKS! I've never seen a STARBUCKS in such a smart environment.

Winter is in the air. It's getting freezing and I bundle up in a blanket these days. Maybe I'll grab some hot drink to warm up. It's full of people, but finally I could get a seat. 

I ordered tall Matcha Latte, unsweetened❤︎❤︎❤︎  I wanted to experience a this year's Christmas version cup at STARBUCKS♪♪♪  Mild taste is gently warming me up... 

Christmas is in the air. ✨✨

Love is in the air.   💕  💕  💕

May you enjoy peace, tranquility, and the comfort of good friends this season.

Make sure you bundle up, Rose

small autumn leaves I found when trying to find a house to live

It's already the end of November. Looking back, I haven't seen fall foliage very much. Have you? When it comes to autumn colors, I haven't seen a lot, but this is the glimpse of fall I've found. :)

This building looked pretty good, but it is facing an avenue where a lot of cars go back and forth. I don't want to hear the noise all day when I'm in here. So I gave it up. I haven't asked any real estate agencies yet to show me the inside of the specific apartment. Instead, I went to check the external environment of each apartment I got interested in on the net. There are some I found actually while I was walking around the area I hope to live in. It was a great experience, I met the charming area! 

Meanwhile, I found a place I'd like to go for a private view when there is a vacant apartment. Yes, no vacancy now. I think I will wait until the day. Well, I'm just going with the flow. I like my present apartment too and I will cherish each day. 

At the end of autumn, I told you what I was up to these days. I feel like still autumn is going on here in Tokyo, though! However, there is a snow already in Michigan. 

Be warm, Rose

The Champagne Gold Christmas lights on Marunouchi Naka-Dori Street 2020

 It's this season again!

I keep coming to my office twice a week and after work, I often walk to Marunouchi Naka-Dori Street to see Christmas lights. Let's walk with me on my blog using our imagination, shall we?

I show you my favorite place's Christmas lights as promised.  ^_−☆ 

Again, at my favorite cafe, "Le Beurre Noisette". I'm writing about this cafe several times, so you can find the posts easily when you want to know more about the place. :)  Isn't it gorgeous to see such beautiful lights while chilling out♡...like this?

The streets are elegantly filled with Champagne Gold.  It's breathtaking....!  You know that?  Champagne Gold is the original color of Marunouch.

This is a new building called 'Marunouchi Terrace' and the grand opening was November 5th, 2020. Wow, on the same day when the streets were lit up!  

Come to think of it, Thanksgiving is almost here. Celebrating Thanksgiving is not a thing in Japan, so I will be having just a normal day.  I hope you had fun on my pictures...

Wishes for warmth, happiness, and love.

Happy Thanksgiving! Rose 

The lake at Orion Oaks County Park, Oakland County, Michigan

Rose

What a beautiful lake picture you took! Could you tell me which lake that is? I’ve ever been there with you?

Collie

That was the lake at Orion Oaks Park. We went there walking on a cold icy day once. You walked on the frozen lake for a little, however, it was on the opposite side of the lake at a different dock.
