The owner of Mei-Shun’s favorite flower shop is always generous enough to hand her a little gift. Today’s special were these cute marigolds for our garden. We hope they are fond of this environment.
Month: April 2015
Dentist!
StandardOne of Mei-Shun’s front teeth looks browned. She felt worried about it, wondered if it might be decayed. After a glance, her home dentist said that it was just stained – 5-minute polishing solved the problem. Thanks a million, Dr. M.
Monthly Visit
StandardDr. A told Mei-Shun that she would like to see her every month for a while. There is no reason to say no – one month seems a good timing for a hospital “graduate” to take care of him/herself. One goal per month would be set up.
Uji-Kami Shrine
StandardIt is a custom for many Japanese to visit the nearest temple or shrine, called Uji-Kami sama. Walking route for Mei-Shun and Shin includes one. On Sunday, they found that the blessing entity has an amazingly beautiful garden of cherry trees. We are very happy if you could share the joy of this carpet.
Pain in Rain
StandardMei-Shun feels a slight pain these days in her scar resulting from the operation. She did not know why, just thought that she might have made too much exercise, until Shin pointed out the reason: a low atmospheric pressure. Ah, they say it often caused pain for samurais wounded by swords in ancient times.
Lovely Purrer
StandardMikan-chan finally recovered from “mom sick”. When Mei-Shun returned home after 4 weeks, she shouted in joy (and warning?) from morning till night, getting a husky voice. She implored mom to stay sitting on the sofa holding her. Her intention to sleep on mom’s blanket was so assiduous that we let her spend three nights in our bedroom. Now, learning that mom would always come back to her, she has returned to peaceful nap alone.
Springtime Oden
StandardIt snows today! It was just a week before that summer-like weather forced cherry trees to bloom in full much earlier. Such a big change in temperature must be dangerous for our health. Mei-Shun therefore prepared oden, stew of vegetables and fish balls simmered in an earthen pot. Horse radish has been replaced by spring cabbage, to whom she expects an effect to keep you warm.
Kiss to Daddy
StandardMomo-chan, our garden princess, looks ready to grow fruits. She leaves many petals on Mei-Shun’s car, which has been taken over from her late father. Every spring, it seems that Momo-chan conveys warm messages and hug together from Mei-Shun, her mother and sister to their beloved one.
Gone with hand in hand
StandardWe had two avocados. After Mei-Shun started her hospitalization, Shin and his mother have taken care of several plants indoors including them. “Yellow Card” cymbidium and green necklace pods were kept fine, but they – maybe not strong enough – failed to survive the last blow of winter.
Ms. Piano Returned
StandardIt’s found to be Gymnopédie by Erik Satie! For an easy sleep at the hospital, Mei-Shun picked up many pieces of heeling music. And this melody came up following others. She immediately asked Shin to order the music score. Simple enough to play, but comfortable to your ears.
