wishbone

11 mile Reservoir  Park county, Colorado


ウィッシュボーン • ゲームご存知ですか?
鳥の胸肉に付く骨、ウィッシュボーンの先を二人がそれぞれ持ち 折れるまで引っ張ります
真ん中の骨の部分が残った人の勝ちで
その人の願いが叶うという いわば子供のゲーム
昔、クローバーの花と茎を使って同じように遊んだ覚えがあります。

Do you play wishbone game?
~Two people each take one end of the bone, make a wish, and pull.
Whoever ends up with the larger part of the bone gets their wish.~


チキンやターキーを丸ごと料理する都度
この骨をきれいに洗って数日乾かした後、夫と交代で息子と遊びました。

息子が家を出た今でもウィッシュボーンは捨てきれず、彼の帰りを待っています。


My husband and I would take turns and play against our son
with a washed and dried wishbone.   
Our son doesn't live here anymore but I still can't throw away the wishbone.
It tends to sit here and wait for his return.


母の願いはいつも、' 子の願いが叶いますように'
ということを息子は知っているでしょうか?

I wonder if he knows that mother's wish is always that
' his wish would come true'.


新学期が始まりました。

New school year has started.

  1. Hi Chiko,
    We play the game too!

    Is the reservoir close to your cabin?
    Beautiful Picture!

  2. Thank you Chris♪
    Yes, the lake is about 10minutes drive from our cabin. There are two more lakes in the area and they are the primary reason we bought the property there.
    We should go fishing there someday!

  3. We play that game, too. (And, like you, I always make that very wish. . .)
