Haruka cames in a difficult time for us because we were moving to our new house. So much to do. So much stress. She helped us very much. She cooked delicious meals from Japan and we learned so much about her culture. She wasn't only a workaway but a friend. Thank you Haruka for what you did!!!! You are welcome when you want!!!!
