GOT PHOTO?

Okay, everyone.  We'd love to see your photos! 

I hear Rob & Mari saw the Niners in .... foggy London!  Would love to see a snap of Rob gobblin' pizza in Rome  ... or Mari smilin' in front of the Vatican.  Would love to see Breadon's twinkling eyes ... & the Mother of 3 with her brood of lovelies!  How 'bout Auntie Joanie ... she's always got her camera ready for some goofy memories.  Yah know, not all of us have Facebook!

Also let us know your holiday plans! 

Rob, just in case, would you put instructions on how to add photos as a comment to this post?  Do non-authors need to email photos to you?

Thanks!  See ya'll on Kajiwara Korner!

Auntie Ruth on the Mend

It's Fall & Auntie Ruth took it to heart.  On October 13, she took a spill while walking--cane in hand--6 blocks to a birthday luncheon for a friend!  She caused quite a stir as folks tried to help her up; a nice gentleman called an ambulance, & she was whisked away to Kaiser.  Surgery room had an opening (what a lucky break!) & she immediately jumped at the chance.  Can't remember exactly what they did but having the procedure definitely will contribute to her recovery time.  She spent 4 days at Kaiser, 1 week in a rehab center & is now home taking it easy, using a walker & a handy tool with a long handle to pick things up. 

It's been quite a "wake-up" call.  She's realizing she can't go running around and, if so, it's worth the price & peace of mind to just call a cab.

She'd enjoying getting a call or a card from the family.

Hello all!

Welcome to the Kajiwara Korner!  Mariko and I(Rob) have volunteered to update everyone on everything that is Kajiwara.  We will begin with a weekly blog highlighting each of the "The Kajiwaras."  This will begin with Judy and her familia.  This will allow time for the intensive research (i.e. emails) required to learn of new events and adventures of the other Kajiwara's lives.  Each Kajiwara and their immediate family will then be highlighted at a rate of 1 per week.  Within a few weeks, we will all be updated on everything about everyone.  You may even get to learn something new.  Exciting, huh?

And don't think this get's you off the hook for "catching up" during all of the normal family functions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Holiday gatherings.  This blog will allow us to discuss happenings amongst the Kajiwaras, and free up family gatherings for socializing on very important society issues such as... Football, Golf, Taiko, Beer, Ridgecrest, or anything else exciting!

But don't think you are off the hook that easy.  I need everyone to update me on new items for the blog.  It can be as simple as "I'm having a baby!" or "MB got straight A's" or an in-depth personal blog, which I could copy and paste to Kajiwara Korner.  I am flexible and hope that everyone participates to make this a successful blog with the purpose of bringing the family together and hopefully providing a small dose of entertainment in the meantime.

I would just like to make a quick disclaimer.  I do not consider myself the strongest writer, and I often use my own methods of punctuation.  While you may feel the strong need to say "that's not right...", I assure you that I do it merely for emphasis or quirky expression of words.  Thanks!
