Sometimes when I am writing a blog post, I am not sure which word to use.
As I am reading a blog post aloud, only time just flies by.
So I bought a "Thesaurus example dictionary.”
I can understand how to use the words I chose, related words and common meanings.

We went down the mountain and found many plum blossoms in bloom.
Near them, the scent of plum blossoms was in the air.
We were looking at the white, light pink, and almost reddish pink blooms.
Then someone asked, "Which do you like better, cherry blossoms or plum blossoms?"
The other answered immediately, "Plum blossoms."
"Because cherry blossoms fall as soon as when the wind blows,
but plum blossoms do not fall, they stick to the tree."
At the moment, I was remembering of the haiku written about cherry blossoms.

On the day of the climb, we headed to the trailhead in the rain as forecast.
The rain gradually turned to snow.
The day before, the chance of precipitation was 80%, so the trail was muddy.
We climbed up slowly, using our poles not slipping.
Sometimes the cold wind blew attached our faces.
When we went down, we were greeted by many plum trees in full bloom.
The satoyama was just spring.

My granddaughter, who is 9 years, is coming from Tokyo.
Every time we meet her, we think, "She has grown up,more again!."
We are looking forward to meeting her from now.
I have several mountain climbing plans from the end of April until Golden Week.
I decided to stop everything.
For me, my granddaughter's visit is more important than mountain climbing.
After Golden Week is over, I will start climbing again.

Last month, they got together and made and ate zenzai.
The other day, they made takoyaki for lunch.
When my children were small, it was said that everyone living in Osaka Prefecture always had
a takoyaki machine at home.
At that time, we lived in Osaka City and used to have takoyaki parties
with our children at our house or at friends' houses.
Instead of octopus, I added cheese, sausages, minced meat, etc. that children like.
My aunt and her friends had a great time talking and laughing while making takoyaki.

I told this to the woman sitting next to me at a meal during my trip.
She said, "I was the same as you."
Then she told me, "Traveling abroad is really fun. Please make your flight longer from now on."
After returning to Japan, I began to look up at the sky when I heard the sound of airplanes.
I look at the world map (110cm x 75cm) posted in the living room more often.

He was his parents' "first child".
Right after the war, when he was still a student, his father passed away.
He had a younger sister and three younger brothers,
so he left school and went to work in Osaka from Tokushima.
They were very close sister and brother.
And whenever we went to his mother's house,
they always brought lots of food and ate them doing talking with.
Sometimes I remember my father-in-law who always had a smile.
I also remember his nostalgic voice.
My father-in-law is in the other world,
but I sometimes feel as if he is right beside me.

The faces of the tourists are gradually becoming dimly.
Now it's "Goodbye." for once, but "We'll be together again somewhere."
The day after my return, I drew portraits of people I spoke a lot with in my "Travel Notebook".
And I also wrote down some of the things I remember talking with them about.
I did that before when I returned from Vietnam several years ago.
I also write other things that I noticed on that trip and things that I want to use for the next time.
This travel notebook may become one of my treasures.

As the first day of the Sumo Tournament in Osaka (held in March every year) approaches,
I think it's time for my husband to buy one.
Last week, he happily brought them a lot home, saying,
"Try deep-fry without breading or batter Yao waka burdock roots."
When I looked at them, those roots are quite thick.
I washed well the roots with a scrubbing brush, wiped off the water and slowly fried them.
It was a hokey texture. and very delicious!
We ate them with salt.
I used the leaves and stems to make other dishes.
After cooking the Yao waka burdock, I made fried sweet potatoes as usual.

Its ingredients in my family are put in as many as beans rice, I cook.
Especially I put small cubes of koya-tofu (dried tofu) a lot more than others.
It is my grandmother's taste.
I use "Tsuruhabutae koya-tofu," which I always heard about in a TV commercial when I was a child.
This is also the same with my grandmother.
Koya-tofu reminds me of the CM song,
I used to hear on TV commercials when I was a child.
I searched for "鶴羽二重こうや豆腐(Tsuruhabutae koya-tofu)" and click "Video".
I could hear the nostalgic song from the YouTube.

I saw the sunrise and sunset at Angkor Wat.
I learned that it was Japanese tourists who started the sunrise.
It gradually spread to people.
Now it has become one of the most popular pastimes for visitors from all over the world.
We gathered at a little after five in the morning
and headed for the site by bus.
It was still dark underfoot, so we walked to the tour site with flashlights.
Many tourists were already standing, sitting, and talking,
waiting for the sunrise.
The sky gradually turned red.
The orange-red sun was coming into view.

I was curious about the local dishes I would eat for the first time before going to Cambodia.
What if I don't want to eat much of them?
I wondered if I should bring more instant foods just in case.
My daughter said to me at the time, "It's easier said than done.
It is easier said than done.
Khmer food was delicious and colorful, with a wide variety of dishes.
I think delicious food is one of the most memorable parts of an enjoyable trip.
I returned home without using all the instant foods and sweets I brought from Japan.
