Beautiful Bins

Thanks a million, Shin. He kindly gave Mei-Shun a box of compote on Mother’s Day. The wife always wonders if she deserves it, while full of gratitude to have an excellent family including mom-in-law. She received a pot of variegated carnation from her son via daughter-in-law. And the latter became a messenger again between a mother and a son, with a bowl of red-bean rice.

Mei-Shun did not purchase her preferred 柏餅 and 粽 this year. She makes weekly order for foods delivered on Friday, while it was one of our national holidays.

Mei-Shun safely let Mademoiselle Vert and Princess Cymby go outdoors last week.

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Aquamarine Fukushima on weekend. There are idols living in the sea for the wife; one is colorful and lovely balls shown above, while the other thin mirrors.

By the way, other icons were added to her list following soon.

Wonderful White

It is quite cloudy from early morning today. Mei-Shun takes it easy to avoid suntan. Her only concern is weather forecasts of 40% rainfall around noon. Which would be better; going out for horsey riding, or staying home in kimono to practice 京鹿子娘道成寺? She chose the former accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan. Her great protection let a shower stop when they arrive at the club.

… Mei-Shun made today, or a stroll looking for cherry blossom. Ms. Scarlet helped her to go here and there including a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎.

And thank you so much, Professor M who gave above shot of her friend 山櫻 in early blossom.

Joy of Osaka: 3

Purr, it was the best for me, dad and mom to return together from sumo watching. His hay disease got better taking naps on a souvenir 座布団 cushion layered on another, while her style in 羽織 kimono coat became established.

Mei-Shun made a rare trip alone, accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan, toward above city on Saturday. Shin, already stayed there working, met them at 新大阪 Station; they planned to watch 初日=the 1st day of sumo 三月場所 together from Sunday. A Japanese-style restaurant served gorgeous dinner, where the wife ordered sake brewed in 奈良, called 風の森=windy woods.

Mei-Shun visited her parents’ home after 2 months since she did with Shin during 三が日=the 1st 3 days of the New Year.

Cute Chocolats

Here the day comes to admire that sweets. Mei-Shun put a box onto Shin’s desk while he was having a morning bath. And it is birthday of mom-in-law as well, on lunar calendar. A basket of flowers was ordered to deliver — yet oh, they might ring the doorbell to call herself, not the other for her daughter-in-law. The latter phoned the shop at 9 : 00 opening time, when her failure just sounded.
