Dearest Auntie HiC

We got mail from Japan!!

It smelled a little different!! 

Every year Mom exchanges Christmas cards with one of her all-time favorite students, Fusako, in Japan. Mom taught Fusako in 1990-1991, while her Dad was working in the United States. 

This year Mom received an email from Fusako in December saying her 'Christmas Card had been returned to Japan because she forgot to add USA in the mailing address. Fusako said she was very embarrassed to make a mistake sending mail to her TEACHER' 😹

Mom told her not to worry. However, Fusako resent the card.  It looks like she used origami to fold a new envelope out of a larger one!!😻

Fusako's cards are always unique and special. Fusako also included an adorable 🐶mini note.

Lovingly your adoring feline Nephews Kat and Rocky,

Dearest Kat and Rocky,

I recall Mom telling me that Fusako came to visit her several years ago too.  Her one request was for Mom not to prepare any meals ahead of time because Fusako wanted to cook with Mom.

Harker's Island Bridge Replacement

​​​​​​Project Overview

The N.C. Department of Transportation replaced the

 Earl C. Davis Memorial Bridge (Bridge No. 73) and Bridge No. 96 – 
both of which connect the town of Straits on the mainland to Harker's 
Island, with a new structure.​

The bridges were each more than 50 years old and were due for 
replacement. Replacing the bridges provides better access to and 
from the island in emergencies and during hurricane evacuations.
The new bridge is primarily made of carbon-fiber and glass-fiber 
reinforcement, making it the first structure in the state to use the
material. The material is used to combat corrosion in coastal environments, 
which will mean each bridge will require less maintenance.​
