Nephew's 1st birthday

Sunday in the afternoon us here, but today's my nephew's 1st birthday December 11. Happy birthday, Suuriin Chuluu. If anyone would like to say something for him since it already passed for us, please say something for him. Of course, he's living with my brother and my sister-in-law (Sakae) in Uskes (Hakodate).

Before my classes start in about 15 minutes

I had a great Tsagaan Sar weekend this year, & had spent it with my brother's family. We had lots of buuz (steamed dumplings), ul boov (shoe sole cake) were great, & so were the berees (rice with raisins & a dollop of milk), tsagaa (rice with curds) & other festive dishes. Me & my brother still contacted our parents & sisters through the video conference, & they seem to have cleared their icicles off just fine. Their livestock have been healthy & not one among them has starved so far, always a good sign given the chance of zud (a bout of starvation among livestock from one of various causes). My brother's on a great part of his work as usual, & my nephews are rather robust & well this starting year. Bayartai, guys.

Wishes for the year

Today December 11th is my older nephew’s 3rd birthday, so do say a little something to him if you wish. If anyone does, I’ll be sure to direct those towards my brother & his family. I hope you lot have a good day in the turbulent month.
