Mei-Shun means a gorgeous bouquet, a gift from Shin. Beloved father of the wife took good care of roses in his garden, kindly made an oil painting at the request of his younger daughter. It is hung on stairwell wall, beholding her family every day. Now she is ready to serve these graceful flowers, observing health of them to keep fresh as long as possible.

Simple Scores
StandardMei-Shun makes it a rule to practice “Habanera” and ” La Cinquantaine” almost every day. Most people have heard these new comers for her, no mistake allowed on keys of Ms. Piano. By the way, other friend scores like “Clair de Lune”, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” and so on let her feel relieved: Mss. Right and Left fingers seem to be well connected with memory. Melodies flow, harmony follows.
Dear Dragon
StandardMei-Shun visited a credit union to change used bills into new ones. It is normal for many of us adults to prepare them as お年玉, New Year’s allowance to children. She quite likes this custom, yet more and more financial institutions refrain from above service. By the way, nephews and a niece of Shin and his wife are all grown up; 3 of them are university students, other 2 already working.
Pure Pearl
StandardMei-Shun and Mikan-chan found a full moon shone by sunset pink around 16 : 30, through a window of Ms. Scarlet. Yes, they enjoyed dancing with Ms. Manifest today after a warm-up exercise with Mr. 宝花. When they looked up at home, that beauty in evening sky turned into gingko yellow. Almost in white at midnight, she kindly celebrated nice numbers on a scale of this horsey rider.
Baby Buds
StandardHere she comes: Princess Cymby. Since rainy season 2023 failed to let her bathe under natural water, Mei-Shun was wondering whether Her Highness would give any flowers. Still, a lovely leaf bud appeared in September to move her a great deal — how powerful His Highness is as well! They are half in number compared with last year, on one-fourth condition.
Joy of Kyushu: 3
StandardDuring every basho held 6 times per year, sumo wrestlers belong to 序ノ口, 序二段, 三段目 and 幕下 have 7 bouts. They starts from around 9 : 00 to let the highest 幕内 finish until 18 : 00. That is why the venue opens at 8 : 30. “We would come one day before next time”, Shin told Mei-Shun. “…then all shops and matches are available”. She feels pleased to see him satisfied.
Terrific Tour
StandardMei-Shun received invitation to Kaori-san‘s exhibition held next January in Kyoto. Oh, it opens on birthday of the former. She therefore would choose another day to see one of her most important friends, when the latter artist stays at the gallery. What a great chance to visit that ancient capital of our country! Best restaurants are waiting for Shin, Mikan-chan and her mom as well.
Beau et Belle
StandardJust one week has passed since Shin and Mei-Shun celebrated one of their anniversaries. The wife found roses in the bouquet looking a bit tired, pull them out to dry. Lovely mesdemoiselles, colored in light orange or Mikan-chan, please stand by above couple as long as possible. Oh, 十三夜 moon appears in eastern sky. Her shade resembles yours with sunset reflection.
Mild Meow
StandardIt is lunar August 28th, sounds like my voice in our country. With 大安=tai-an, the best of 六曜 on solar calendar, mom feels something lucky helps her to finish housekeeping as quickly as possible. Now shall we go to see Ms. Carino Piccola? She guided us well to a good dance, while sweet scent of fragrant olive seemed to praise it. And you lost a whole bag of sugar from yesterday? Nice control, purr.

StandardMei-Shun safely received a pair of tickets for sumo 九州場所, to visit with Shin and Mikan-chan. Oh, 正 means “front”, the same angle as we see bouts on TV. Since it was said seats had been invisible until Saturday, they did not know which would be theirs among 4; above 正面, 向正面, 東 and 西. Only concern here is if they could recognize winners without audio commentaries.
