Sorry, everyone. I don't know why, but always I try to make the pictures smaller, but when I post, they still come out too big. Apologies.:sorry:
The little girl on my right is my adopted sister. She is 8 years old, but she has learning difficulties, it's a shame. But she loves all my Japanese friends. She calls them all "Hoshi" though. It means "Star". But it's because one of my first Japanese friends was called "Shiho", so she got the sylables mixed up. Her speech isn't very fluent, also she can't read or write. She is in a special school. My mother was fostering her for several years, then when she was up for adoption, my mother couldn't bear to let her go, so she applied to adopt her, and was successful.
