Mother recently sent Mei-Shun several images of flowers newly bloomed in her garden. Above is 馬酔木=asebi, Japanese andromeda given by mom-in-law. The latter grew a gorgeous tree at previous home where Shin lived until marriage, yet did not move it toward her current place. Now one of its children is cared enough like her daughter-in-law.
happy
Precious Princess
StandardGreat to see you again, Maria-chan. Mei-Shun really worried about you when she heard you might be sick in upper legs. However, such feeling never works since many good staffs always take care of you. She has received no message from them so far, it would mean a fine result. Now you are ready to dance with her, shall we go into the hall made of sand?
Christmas Cherry
StandardYes, it blooms indoors. Or Mei-Shun means that one called 啓翁桜=keio-sakura, grown mainly in Yamagata is displayed at a peanuts and soba noodle shop. She accompanied Shin, who needs several more pants getting a bit bigger tyre around his waist, dropped in above restaurant for lunch yesterday. A plum tree full of pink buds also saw them on the way to and from there.
Smart & Sweet
StandardMeow, I’ve learned how to use potty pads. Mom brought them last night, spread several on the floor to prevent me from making pools. All right, I’ll try one to spare your time to clean them up … hmm, it is not bad, quite easy. May I make it normal? You prefer rest rooms, I see. Anyway, my good usage of both the pad and rooms is worth licking tasty sticks, isn’t it? Purr … purrr …

Lovely Lunch
StandardPurr, mom stays with me at home all day long. She went out yesterday morning, came back around tea time. Her oden simmered vegetables and fish balls are in a pot, continued to be boiled in dashi soup while added other ingredients. It became her meal after getting on a scale. What is the reason for your smile? Meow, a small bag would be taken from a 桜葛湯 box as dessert.

Continued Celebration
StandardAbove is the 3rd gift from Shin to Mei-Shun, from which he won a cock-shape fève. 4th is a cute pair of crystal cats; bigger one is mom, smaller another is Mikan-chan, according to dad. And a warm message via e-mail from mother arrived in the morning, while a pretty basket full of spring flowers at night from Professor M. Oh, the 1st full moon of 2022 appeared in the sky.
Cute Crystal
StandardMei-Shun treated gifts today, which she enjoyed in boxes yesterday. 1st is a gorgeous bouquet from Shin, coordinated with another arranged into a pot arrived on Christmas Eve. The former has pink lilies, salmon-pink roses with violet attendants while the latter in snow-white, the same and greenly white. 2nd is red-bean rice from mom-in-law cooked into balls.
Acknowledgement
StandardPlease kindly let Mei-Shun say thanks a million to Shin, Mikan-chan, mom, mom-in-law, friends and distinguished 456 followers for celebrating her birthday. It is the greatest joy to take pleasure in everything with you, spend precious time day by day smiling. She cordially wishes you beautiful and prosperous future. All the same to good people she has not yet met.
Double Dance
StandardThank you so much, Ms. Manifest and Princess Maria. These ladies were kind partners in Mei-Shun’s final dance of 2021 at a horsey riding club. She actually sees herself weird in canter these days. One reason is clear: too less practice than before. In order to put on well 二足の草鞋=2 pairs of sandals for hobbies, she has to control pessimistic emotion — find good, be effective.
Saturday Soon
StandardSo Mei-Shun made the final visit to a hair salon, just a minute walk from home today. There the owner beautician had a lot of phone calls, mainly for reservation within 2021. She said December is the busiest, her schedule is already full. And we have Christmas/New Year’s Eves on Fridays, what a timing! However, it is tomorrow that is the most important for Shin and his wife.
