Precious Paws

Ms. Piano, you and Mikan-chan are always good mentors for Mei-Shun. For example, she has stopped sung with the former one of scores in “Lieder Ohne Worte” composed by Master Mendelssohn for a few years, resumed it yesterday. Awful sounds disappointed her, while reminded of a saying “practice makes perfect”. Yes, she would be happy to follow your treasured advice.

Novel to Normal

Standard

Mei-Shun went to a research institute with mom-in-law today, to get the 3rd vaccination against that coronavirus still “new” following 4 kinds already found among us human beings. Gods of rain kindly stopped falling when they got on Ms. Scarlet. It was the first time they entered the site. Beautiful trees in light green, white and pink welcomed them under gray sky. It might be why they saw no crowd.

Alone Again

Standard

Meow, mom practices 松の緑 at home these days. I feel happier when she stays with me longer, while a bit tired if she gives too much attention. It is to take the best care of yourself that is the most important: your mental/physical health is the same to mine. So please do not hesitate to dance, play Ms. Piano, take a nap in your bedroom or sometimes go out.

Cute Chocolates

Standard

Mei-Shun got her right eye all red in half like a strawberry. It is a kind of injury called subconjunctival hemorrhage. Looking recovered 90%, still a bit weird with yellowish shadow in white part. That is why she canceled an appointment with Princess Maria yesterday, while with another on Thursday. No sweets with no exercise, yet she found nostalgic, bigger ones.

Morning Mountain

Standard

Shin went to Nagano via Kofu last weekend on business. He sent Mei-Shun above photo taken through a train window, just like a postcard by a professional photographer. This light pink sash would lead to juicy peaches in summer. On the other hand, our garden princess Momo-chan has already finished blooming with her bright petals spread on the ground to make a gorgeous carpet.

Danish Delight

Standard

Mei-Shun visited her home dentist to see Dr. M for a monthly check today. For this patient, medical clinics are often followed by good bakery shops — she treats herself to sandwiches, baguettes and sweets even after coming back from above. By the way, “Double Ds” would take a leave from now on: she would stop going to Master Bando’s place for a while.

Conspicuous Child

Standard

Ms. Piano, when Mei-Shun opens your lid for practice, beloved father sounds like saying welcome back. It was he who recommended you to his younger daughter at the age of 5. She used to play outdoors almost every day, all day long. Many children around her took lessons in 書道=shodo, Japanese calligraphy or そろばん=soroban, abacus calculation as after-kindergarten activities.

Magnificent Masters

Standard

Mei-Shun walked 5 minutes to a hair salon this morning. While waiting for dyeing medicine to work well absorbed, she found a magazine featuring actress mother and daughter in nice kimono. The former is Ms. F whom beloved Master Mei-Shu admired while the latter Ms. T, elder sister of kabuki actor 尾上菊之助. He or Master Sen-Sha said that it was really sad to lose his party several years before.

Cherished Cherry

Standard

Thank you so much, Dr. A. Mei-Shun asked her to introduce a good ophthalmologist the other day. “All right, she is mother of a classmate of my son, very soft-touch”, the former lady said. It is Dr. N who manages a clinic in Tsukuba, kindly took care of above patient yesterday. She enjoyed driving toward there along many sakura trees in almost full blossom, including 染井吉野 and 大島桜 breeds.

Pink Princess

Standard

Oh, Mikan-chan, how charming you are! When Mei-Shun tried to bring back a necklace whose top is shaped like a tiny horseshoe into a box, this ribbon attached to it slipped down on fluffy ears. However, she kept peaceful enough to let her human mom make it another accessory. It is for the first time you put on such an item, honey, because dad who gave it to mom worried if you do not feel comfortable.
