The mother-in-law is now in on the act. I couldn't wish for a better one. She has saved the New Zealand stamps on the envelopes that Mami, my wife, sent the family in Japan (disks with photos of our 8-month-old daughter, Sachi), cut them out, and returned them together with a few colorful Japanese stamps too. Isn't that nice?
Even nicer, look! She has enclosed a couple of recent mini-sheets as well. How thoughtful is that? As always, by comparison I feel like quite a boer. No one does social nicety better than the Japanese.
I'm proud to include my Japanese family in the greater family of stamp collectors. A great bunch, every single one.
