Japanese Good Luck!

That's just what we got when Diane, Suzanne and I went to lunch today at Sushi Zen. Hitomi, one of the waitresses there, used to work at another sushi place in town, which is where I met her 6 or 7 years ago.

I haven't seen her in probably 3 years, but she recognized me after we sat down and ordered. She came over and we hugged and chatted a few minutes.

After we paid our bill, she brought 3 small origami boxes over to the table. Each box held 2 origami cranes. Hitomi explained that they were good luck. It was such good luck to run into her again- I'm sure there's more good luck to come!
