She made it. A qualified instructor checked up whether Mei-Shun has gained enough techniques to promote. Thanks to you, Curly Prince, her last partner in “Basic B” classes. His coat is so fluffy in winter that he rarely recognize her aids by the legs, though.
congratulations!
Better Rider?
StandardIt has taken 2 weeks for Mei-Shun to come back to horses: a slight cold prevented her from attending lessons. Her current class is for beginners, called “Basic B”. Today Ms. I, Mei-Shun’s favorite instructor, recommended her to go up to “Basic A”. That means she would make a small graduation soon. Thanks to carrots, she wonders.
365th Step!
StandardIt seems one of great joys allowed only to grown-ups: we enjoyed chatting on Japanese sweets sent from Mei-Shun’s mother after dinner, late at night. Such a style of eating is awful for a good diet? Ah-ha. You are exactly right. Green tea could give damage to a sound sleep? Well, we know they say so. We would see anybody who could be good to us as Jessie, Ariana and Nicki do.
100th Ohagi
StandardThank you so much, mom. It is the best sweet for us, Mei-Shun and her older sister. Since her anko is rather sweet, we need to control quantity of it for coating a rice ball. Sometimes ohage (=bald ball!) appears in our hands. Well, no problem; tastiness is the most important. You say so, dad?
Golden Wedding Anniversary
StandardMei-Shun’s mother enjoyed making ohagi with her granddaughter for this ohigan (=an equinoctial week). Her loved husband asked his young bride to do it during their honeymoon in 1965. It served therefore the 100th celebration for the couple. Congratulations, dearest daddy and mommy.
Citrus Babies
StandardCongratulations, Mikan-chan. You will be 12 years old on 20th this month. We are so happy to see you like our gifts. Does this bowl help you eat? … Oh? Where are you — in your new bed named Lemon by mom! So much satisfied you look.

Looking Better
StandardOur cymbidium has recovered from her sick condition of paled leaves. It was caused by too much exposure toward the severe, midsummer sunlight: she has nearly got burned. Sorry, honey. Now we are ready to transplant her into a bigger pot, yet another problem is that she is stubbornly sticks to current one.
Fine green
…loves blue pot.
Happy Birthday
StandardMei-Shun’s mother was born on August 1st. She spends her birthday at a lodge she owns in Kusatsu, Gunma Prefecture. We therefore used to hold a lunch party one month earlier. This year she prefers staying at home to eating out — well, no problem. Three women lack nothing to cook and chat.
Ready for Tomorrow
StandardJune 6th is special for Mei-Shun; it is Shin’s birthday. And one year has passed since she launched this site. Please, kind followers, take her deepest thankfulness.
Sweet Home
StandardAnd this day has come as well. Mei-Shun already brought home clothes, PC and gift sweets, just expecting “OK, you are allowed to leave” comment from Dr. A. Thank you so much! The same from Mikan-chan.
