A little Excitement in Hatacho

About 7:30 pm there were sirens out on our street,  There was a small car behind an overturned motorbike.  Firemen were talking to a man sitting on the street.   A police cruiser also came from the left while the firetruck was on the right side of the street.  Then a large police van came.

The man was able to get on the gurney by himself and then he was taken to the ambulance. 


The police cruiser pulled into our driveway and soon the car involved pulled in behind it.  The firetruck left about 8:15 and the cruiser was gone by 8:30;  the police  were getting the man's statement and marking the street.  Everyone was gone by 8:30.  

Flurry of snow

We woke up to a little snow on the ground with temperature about 6C outside.  The morning was cold and windy and we had at various times rain and snow coming doing, sometimes fast and furious.  Not usual for Kobe.  

Snow along the field on the backside of our home 

Mt. Rokko from the main road 

This is the snow falling fast about 9:30 a.m.  It stopped by 9:35  

March 15 Church

There were a total of 12 in the morning service today, our highest attendance for regular services.  The Yoshimoto, Taitano and Kuramae, and Iwanaga families came (2 each) 

There were two 5-year-old kids today so I had a class to teach.  The lesson was on the Lost Sheep.  The kids help me with the flannel graph alot  :-)
