…to Mei-Shun today. Her family gave a tiny party at night, and flower gifts. Bigger one is from Shin, fresh while smaller one from mom-in-law, preserved. They are like two peas in a same pod, choose as they look. What a beautiful combination!

Portable Art
StandardA covering piece of acrylic glass has been set on “Christmas Tree” by Kaori-san, who advised Mei-Shun to use that material for maintenance of colorant quality. It would also work as a locket – whose photo shall be put behind?

Arigato
StandardSo this is Christmas. And this is the 21st wedding anniversary for Shin and Mei-Shun. Look at his real gift. Just beautiful, isn’t it?
Very Merry
StandardA little earlier Christmas gift has come to Mei-Shun. 2 weeks before, Shin’s doctor found his blood in terrible conditions. It might be caused by a cancer, he said. Today’s second, closer examination has resulted in “the reason is not clear, yet no cancer”. So, anyway, we’ve got rid of the worst.
Favorite Item
StandardHi, I’m Mikan. I love mom’s slippers! Mom is out right now, so my one-of-the-best bed is here. Oh, it’s sunny today. Purrrr …
Christmas is Coming
StandardThis lovely piece of work by Kaori-san, illustrator Ms. KOGASHIWA, arrived from Kyoto. A gift to herself, Mei-Shun feels very happy. Shin also likes it, advising her to arrange a covering glass for good quality preservation. You are right. We wish you a Merry Christmas!
Late Autumn
StandardWe have a ginkgo tree in the backyard. A little later than others in parks, it is turning into yellow these days. Fortunately, or unfortunately, “he” has no fruit of serious smell – that makes Mei-Shun happy but a little unhappy. She loves ginkgo nuts so much.
Aladdin Arrived!
StandardNot the guy getting along with the magical lamp, our new stove. Aladdin has been delivered, started to work hard. Regarding coldness as the worst for Mikan-chan, we rushed to the net shopping—weather forecast said that it would be the coldest today. And it is. Ohhh, how nice to come to warm-upped living room in the morning …
Another Kimono
StandardMaster Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun a kimono again. The latter feels so happy, yet aren’t you too generous, Master? When asked so, she smiled and said that the one was too long for her. Dark blue, doubled with dark red inside. How cool it is! Thank you very much.
