義父母の家にて

My daughter's friend B. is a freelance violinist in New York city, very often plays with the New York Philharmonic as a regular sub. In fact, she came to Japan 4 times in the past, twice with the New York Philharmonic. We had a fun, musical afternoon (3 and a half hours straight) with my mother-in-law on the violin and my father-in-law conducting.

娘と娘の友人を連れて義父母の家に行ってきました。娘の友人Bはバイオリニストで、普段ニューヨーク・フィルハーモニックで(楽団員ではありませんが代役として)弾いたりしているそうです。Bは日本にも、ニューヨークフィルのツアーで来日した二回を含め、今までに計4回演奏旅行に来たことがあるそうです。義母(バイオリン)も義父(指揮)も参加して、3時間半くらい合奏しました。とても楽しかったです。

Oh, how marvelous! I wish I could have been there. Hope you are enjoying your time with Tomomi and her friend.

Thanks, Rebekah, my mother-in-law was very happy to talk to you on the phone. The visit to their house was sort of a deja vu of what we did with you. Have a wonderful time with your mother!
