Great Grapes: 4

Standard

The other and last box of above fruit included 3 breeds; Shining Muscat, 信濃 Smile and Alisa. The second one was arranged to celebrate the 18th Olympic Winter Games held in Nagano Prefecture, while the third above might be named after a friend of Mr. I. It is Mei-Shun who juxtaposed this green, edible jewelry and souvenirs from Fukuoka via sweet Shin. Oh, 梅ヶ枝餅 reminds her of childhood.

Weigh Well

Standard

Thanks a million Mikan-chan, for your post yesterday. Yes, Shin and Mei-Shun are in condition excellent enough to allow the wife to make her dream come true. After Sunday brunch followed by 冨貴寄=fuki-yose, they got on Ms. Scarlet to visit a rental storeroom via 乙戸沼 Park. Cherry trees began to change clothes, waterfowls came back to spend winter. So does above couple picking up thick futons later.

Cute Combination

Standard

Meow, here is a big can of 冨貴寄=fuki-yose mom ordered to arrive on Saturday. It was also the day for me and her to visit Arles, our favorite pâtisserie in Tsukuba. We therefore shared a table full of beautiful desserts with dad, who currently keeps good shape as his wife does. And she found that her horsey-riding technique certificate holds the same date in 2018, purr.

Rainy Rhythm

Standard

Mei-Shun continued to practice “Salut d’Amour” during Shin’s business stay in China, has learned how to say hello clearly to him on Ms. Piano. You need tuning soon, darling, who is sweet enough to sing moonlight scores often these days together with her best friend. Shall we look for a new technician this time, expecting one shares gender at least in mind?

吉 Kissing

Standard

Meow, mom chose the latter yesterday. She walked lively to the nearest shrine to draw an omikuji lot for herself, who tends to do it again if no good luck with 凶=kyo, the worst or 半吉=han-kichi, half luck or 末吉=sue-kichi, the least lucky. On the way to there, some of rice paddies ripe ears still left welcomed her. Now I have to ask Gods to grant her nice one, purr.

Great Grapes: 3

Standard

The other box of above fruit arrived at happy hands of Mei-Shun last night. She actually had a slight cold, staying home all day long. It therefore seemed like a get-well gift from Shin via Master I. Yes, thanks to it, she recovered toward 80% of normal condition today. Fever has gone, let her vacuum rooms in the morning. After lunch, which is better to go to nearby ENT clinic, or to walk to the nearest shrine?

Fine Finding

Standard

Thanks a million, Professor M. His rights on above image all reserved, 2022. He asked  Mei-Shun the other day if her kabuki dance lesson would soon resume. Well, it might take a bit more time since that “novel” coronavirus is currently swirling among us in recent variant. Such an experience is not agreeable, yet gave her a chance to recognize how excellent beloved Master Mei-Shu was.

Japanese Culture@holiday

Standard

Mei-Shun is a green tea lover: she enjoys it almost every day, all through the year. Now are cans of her favorite leaves going empty while tablets, balls and bags of Chinese tea arrived. Here are excellent breeds to replenish a couple of pottery from Hong Kong stored in a cupboard for decades. Hello, great to see you two again. Shall we enjoy a full moon tonight together?

Brilliant Bridge

Standard

Meow, it has become chilly from a few days before — mom brought me to Tokyo on Wednesday when rain started to fall. I had to control it not to get her wet, got myself exhausted. “Shall we go into futon blanket?” she said around teatime yesterday, pulling a 半纏 kimono coat out of a drawer, purr. After a nice nap, we found sunset to serve as a cool artist.

Chinese Candy

Standard

Here are a can and a bag of above souvenir Shin kindly brought home. Mei-Shun is so happy to receive them that never stops opening them after every meal from Saturday dinner. The former is soft in flavor of sweetened red-bean paste, while the latter hard in 梅=ume plum and butter. Combination of a sour fruit and milk fat is a bit amazing to her: dried and salted 梅 means a great friend of rice.
