Kaori-san, how kind of you to draw Mei-Shun in Suisen-Tanzen performance on the letter of winter greeting! Thanks a million. She put it on Ms. Piano to attract her for practice as much as possible. It is working well, they say with smile.

Spring Collection!
StandardMikan-chan loves to be brushed, making mom happy to do it every day. During winter, she puts on a thick coat doubled with longer, silver and shorter, grey fur layer. And today, the first day of February, saw the latter begin to remove from her.
Happy Graduation
StandardShe made it. A qualified instructor checked up whether Mei-Shun has gained enough techniques to promote. Thanks to you, Curly Prince, her last partner in “Basic B” classes. His coat is so fluffy in winter that he rarely recognize her aids by the legs, though.
Happy Queen?
StandardOur favorite pâtisserie “Arles” serves the best Galette des Rois. We have made it the birthday cake for Mei-Shun since 2012. And it was she who won the fève clearly this year, while she shared it with Shin last year. Oh? Honey, do you celebrate mom, posing with her crown on the table?

After 40 Wks
StandardMei-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!
Japanese Culture@holiday
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.
