Mei-Shun met Dr. A for the first time this year. Your “no problem” comment always gives a great relief, thank you so much. Today, Mei-Shun asked question regarding her allergic symptoms. Dr. A answered it is a bit out of the category she majors in. That means Mei-Shun’s disease had not been related to allergy. Another sigh of relief.

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.
At the Year-end
Standard2015 might be one of the most tumultuous years for Mei-Shun. She is grateful to her family and friends whose warm hands always support her. She wishes, or rather promises, to serve them the same someday. Please just take her love now and, 良いお年を！
Wish you a happy new year!

StandardMikan-chan’s mom rushed back to the farmhouse. It looked holding a festival. Swimming her way through the crowd, she reached a grocer’s shop and asked a clerk if they had kept a brown purse cats drawn on. “Ah, let me see,” he smiled and whispered a few words to a little girl sitting at the counter. “Here you are,” she opened both hands.
Such an honesty could fall on you in this country, even if you are the most careless person.
Uniquely Shaped
StandardProfessor S. is generous enough giving Mei-Shun another necklace — we had an year-end dinner. Her beads choice is always perfect. Please see these pearls as good examples. They might be a bit deformed, while look like lovely snowmen, fox faces and tadpoles who are kindly economical as well.
In Full Blossom
StandardOur yellow beauties dashed off into the color. We are so happy to see them shine, one indoors while the other under the blue sky. The latter also pleases us blooming on balcony floor.
Yellow card
Backyard gingko
After 35 Wks
Standard“As usual” sounds the most wonderful to Mei-Shun. Dr. A said that her condition is well. Gingko trees around the hospital parking space looked shining in gold to her eyes, as our cymbidium does at home — oh, our gingko in the backyard finally began to turn to the same color.
Back to the Ground
Standard…for horseback riding. Mei-Shun had to cancel lessons three times this month, giving priority to her stage, yet missing lovely horses so much. And this morning, she was fairly felicitous to meet Curly Prince, the eldest guy among more than 100 horses owned by our club. He puts on a thick coat, might be the fluffiest as well. Yes, you are right. It looks winter has already come.

StandardLabor Thanksgiving Day takes Monday this year. It works well for us, since Shin had a business trip to Toyama on Saturday. Working Sunday sounds awful, doesn’t it? Mikan-chan looks happy as well, satisfied with warm arms of daddy.
