Shin and Mei-Shun went to いしじま, a peanut shop while serves you nice soba for lunch yesterday. However, it was closed — oh, oh, they should have known it. All such restaurants through the Japanese Archipelago would prepare for the last day of the year. Yes, she reserves tasty one in the freezer of course. And thanks a lot, mom-in-law for frying shrimps and onion tempura.
Month: December 2018
Acknowledgement
StandardMs. I and Mr. Vanilla Arc, thank you so much for helping Mei-Shun to win the important certificate of riding technique. Princess Maria, here is a bit belated (sorry) Christmas gift for you, a new forehead band. Mr. Tea Time, it was one of her best 2018 events to see you. And lovely Ms. Last One, you are really the last horsey of this year who teaches her good communication with you.
Hanako, Flower Girl
StandardMei-Shun finished to learn how to dance 乱拍子の段, instrument-only part of 京鹿子娘道成寺. It was very slow compared to her previous pace to dance at least two scores an year. Well, Shin might mean to encourage his wife to perform on a stage again by giving her not an arrangement but a bouquet. He always handed her such a gorgeous beauty, surprised friends in Kikunoe Ryu’s waiting room.
Love Sunny
StandardPurr, it is so nice to brush myself up in morning light. Hmm, butter is on those sandwiches baked in mom’s Bow-Loo. They are put on the table from minutes before, cooled for me maybe. Lick, lick, it is not bad. Meow, why do you hold me down onto the floor, mom? You would be lucky today with my kiss, as daddy told you. He is cautious enough to understand my intention immediately.

StandardShin and Mei-Shun share their 24th wedding anniversary today. Looking forward to adding silver on the top of it next year maybe, the husband gave a cool necklace to the wife as his first gift. And this “rouge pink” bouquet followed around tea time. Oh, she always does not know how to express her gratitude, love and bewildering toward such … generosity? Could you please tell mom the best word, Mikan-chan?
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardWe have the last of Emperor’s Birthday yesterday: our current emperor Akihito is set to abdicate next year. So would December 23rd be Heisei Day, like Showa Day (April 29th) was changed from the previous emperor Hirohito’s birthday? Anyway, that is why we share Christmas Eve and a happy Monday today. Shall we eat out like many young couples do, or stay at home, Shin?

New Face
StandardHere is Thai-matsuri, retired racehorsey who has joined our club recently. Mei-Shun fell in love with such a lovely boy in black-brown, decided immediately to help Ms. I to train him as she did for Madoka-chan before. He was born in 2011 from the famous grandfather Brian’s Time while father Time Paradox. She therefore wants to give him a new name Tea Time, after these great fathers.
Blue, Blue Sky
StandardOur gingko tree finally put off golden coat. Mei-Shun feels that his process to change clothes after summer took shorter than usual this year. Extreme heat and typhoons hurt his green shirt, burned into brown on edge. Rainy autumn blew it down partly, while warm winter delayed it to turn to bright yellow. Now she finished picking up beautiful leaves to dry.
Three Women
StandardMei-Shun visited her mother, at last within 2018. And it was the second chance for her elder sister, a full-time employee at a department store, to join them (you also stayed with us of course, dad?). They chatted, chatted and chatted on soba lunch, time flied. She had to leave too soon — oh, 白山吹= white kerria japonica, you are so beautiful twice an year, in springtime flower and autumnal leaf.
Dangerous Scent
StandardMom left me alone till very late at night the other day. It was because she visited a close friend living far away, I heard. Meow, why don’t you stop trying to enter my mom’s hat? By the way, dad felt sick when he picked her up at the nearest station. She used an old perfume which might changed constituents by years, emits something like lead. He is allergic to it, sneezed seriously.
