Dinner with Judith's Friends

First the story of Judith. In true it's-a-small-world fashion, Judith and I "met" about this time last year (Aug '06) at a reception in Tokyo. We are both from Long Island (NY) and, you guessed it, we had actually know each other as kids.

Judith loves to entertain and is a great cook. Last week, she invited me to a BBQ dinner with friends of hers from Texas. Debra and Lyndon Johnson (# 107 and # 108) were in town with their daughter, Blair (# 109) and her friend Lily (# 110).

The Johnson family often hosts study abroad students who go to school with their daughter. One of those students, their favorite, was Kana (# 111), now back in JPN and in college. She joined the fun with her delightful mother Keiko-san (#112).
