Thank you so much, Professor M. He gave Mei-Shun a photo of cute ume=plum flowers last week, informing her on his business trip to Tunisia. Regarding that flower, mom-in-law never forgets to cook お赤飯=red-bean rice on our national holidays. She puts it into a tiny 重箱=lacquered/layered box shaped like a red ume, which her son and daughter-in-law purchased.

Tail Tip

Standard

Meow, it is New Year’s Eve on lunar calendar today. I and mom visited a horsey riding club in Tsukuba, enjoyed 3-step dance with tasty named Ms. Candy and Mr. Crunchy. Mr. Ryan followed them in trot, kept a nice guy who made us wish to perform more. Now coming home, she got on a scale to see the best numbers after as long as 14 weeks. Good for you, purr.

Crystal Cats

Mei-Shun practiced above today, piled right-hand on Ms. Piano. She has chosen left molehill including “Clair de Lune”, “Habanera” and “La Cinquantaine” since the end of last year, almost forgot to play scores composed by Master Chopin except for ” Lento con gran espressione”. One of the reasons is a gift from Shin, normally put on a book of M. Beethoven suites.

Relative Reunion

Standard

M-chan, a 1st-year undergraduate at the University of Tsukuba, finally contacted Mei-Shun, her only aunt last night. However, quite late for the latter already in futon next to Shin. Is 22 : 33 not bedtime for students? She replied around 8 : 00 this morning, invited that girl of a good appetite to lunch at a tearoom nearby her dormitory. Well, no message has come so far, 23 : 23 after shampoo.

Spring Snow

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan yesterday, when slight rain started to fall. They hoped it would stop for a while, at least during 30-minute lesson with Mademoiselle Angel. However, it was callous enough to change into heavy sleet soon. They were therefore forced to cancel reserved classes, turn toward a department store nearby with a bit pleasure.

Brilliant Beauty

Standard

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun saw a gorgeous sunrise this morning. Dark and cloudy around 5 : 00, flame red to yellow suddenly appeared in eastern sky. It reminded the wife of something she likes — oh, a pair of glasses the husband ordered to celebrate their latest wedding anniversary. It is on Christmas Day, while yesterday on lunar calendar meaning 立春=risshun, the 1st of spring and all 二十四節気.

Bay Boy

Standard

I and mom visited a horsey riding club today, amazing 4th time in a week. I’m always all right, yet it was not easy for her to keep healthy going out every 5 weekdays. Well fortunately, she managed to make it with a little help by medicine. Weight control is also going fine? Good for you, purr. By the way, we put a wrong title to lovely Aries; not Ms., Mr. he was found!

Windy Wing

Standard

… she really has. 2 works Mei-Shun purchased at Kaori-san’s exhibition in Kyoto finally arrived. The latter calls this girl “ハイイロ髪” or grey hair, while the former silver; she prefers shiny expression leading to her fluffy daughter. Her emerald eyes appear in green clothes, lets mom feel satisfied. Smaller one would stay on a dining table, the other bigger lid of Ms. Piano.

Milky Mate

Standard

So it is the end of solar January, when Mei-Shun enjoyed a bit dancing with Mr. White Mocha. He resembles Mr. Vanilla Arc already owned by a member of her 2nd horsey riding club. And Mademoiselle Angel puts on atmosphere like Princess Maria, whose new dad is not seen recently. Do you miss him? Mikan-chan and your ex-mom would come for cookie greeting tomorrow.

Dental Diet

Standard

Mei-Shun saw her home dentist Dr. M this afternoon for a routine checkup. The former dropped in one of her favorite bakeries before arriving at the clinic of course: delicacies would make her mouth happy who got over an exhausting procedure. Actually, Shin brought home lovely sweets on weekend, due by early days of next month. Some of you therefore will stay in a freezer.
