Smart Girls

Standard

Tora-chan jumped over cat gates again. It is a matter to be scolded, yet she stayed several steps backward this time. She has learned not to reach the second floor. Her touching attitude reminds Mei-Shun of Fuku-chan, mom-in-law’s late pug girl. Her lovely eyes and amicable character changed Mei-Shun’s feeling toward dogs with flat faces. She slept at lower landing of our stairs when mom-in-law left her alone at night, asking if she was allowed to be there by those 2 round beads.

Corolla!

Standard

Madoka-chan remembers Mei-Shun as her “refreshment mom”, asks treats every time when the latter approaches her stall. Sure, here’s horse cookies today. You will see an apple, your favorite on Wednesday. R. mom heard that you are too thin in the back to let us ride. We therefore plan to serve rich foods to you. Now, shall we go to the dressing space? Wishing your forelock were a bit bushier, r. mom chose this browband. Oh, how cute you look with it!

Piano Day

Standard

Yes, this season has come. Ms. Piano saw Mr. O. It seems to be on the hottest day every year, so Mei-Shun makes efforts to serve them the best environment as much as possible. Taking just an hour, he tuned keys, cleaned up metal bars under the lid. Ms. Piano looked friendly to him, stayed a good girl through a range of process. He never makes you feel hurt, honey. Mei-Shun envies not only your serenity but also equanimity.

Terra Cotta

Standard

Mei-Shun sees a flowerpot sit alone at a door of the Us on the way in walking. Looking nice in the morning sunshine, while not alone sometimes — a cat relaxes next to it. Hi, do they keep you? May she name you Raco-chan after your artifact friend? You put a grey jacket on a white shirt. That combination resembles Kuro-chan, who never let Mei-Shun approach within a 5-foot circle in diameter around him/her. Such atmosphere you have as well.

Shall We?

Standard

Mei-Shun started piano lesson at the age of 5. That seems why she loves music, headed by classical ones. She belonged to a brass band club in her junior high school days, playing the horn while Shin did as well by chance as a tuba player. Today, a letter from Professor K of Nihon University, one of Mei-Shun’s respectful benefactors, told her that he takes lessons for alto saxophone these days. Now, who would follow us next?

Wise Lady

Standard

You really are, Madoka-chan. You seem to memorize Mei-Shun as a mom of refreshment — when she visits you with a box of cut carrots, apples or horse cookies in hand, your eyes begin to shine while your lips open and close like requesting a kiss. However, once you find her without anything tasty, you turn the back to her soon. This ball-point-pen says exactly what one of your moms feel right now.

Midnight Messenger

Standard

It visited Mei-Shun out of the blue, coming through the window when she tried to close a shutter. Oh, do not be confused at artificial lights. There is no sun or moon among them. Mei-Shun is friendly to butterflies, with her family symbol 浮線蝶 as one of the reasons maybe. Since today is the first day of June on lunar calendar, that beautiful creature might have brought a good fortune.

Kaori’s Children

Standard

Mei-Shun Collection has accumulated 4 lovely artworks by Ms. KOGASHIWA, Kaori. It seems versatile greens represent them followed by black, orange and blue. Little messenger of stories always puts on black and stands by green. This girl in profile named Elba-san likes to dance, eat and lie down. Where would you like to stay? Do not worry about suntan, glasses coated with UV protection covers all of you.

Are U Piano?

Standard

We have taken Kuro-chan II as one of Tora-chan’s boyfriends so far, yet he might be “she”. They often stay together these days, yet no serenade is heard around our garden. And compared to Kuro-chan I, you look pretty slim. Your black jacket, white shirt and socks resemble the ones of that kitten named by Mei-Shun …

We Love Kyoto

Standard

Kaori-san, please take our gratitude. You gave us another chance to come to this beautiful, ancient capital of Japan. Current rate of yen, however, might make our regular hotel here booked out — that is why we enjoyed a stay at our favorite one in Osaka last night. We took a local train after a slight exercise of walking to the station one more stop away. Clouds in the sky and summer hats nicely protected us from ultraviolet rays.
