Yes, it is a young tree mom-in-law planted in our garden. Mei-Shun heard from younger sister-in-law M that her mother loved one of that fruit in winter, tasted very good. She therefore put some seed into a pot, saw green babies. The eldest had grown enough to bloom last spring, further to bear above. “I pollinated it with a flower my research institution gave me”, she said.
Mei-Shun walked toward a hair salon in high heels as usual. When she sat at a table to wait a good medicine soak, a nice water painting greeted her. “It is a birthday gift for me”, a beautician manages this shop said. “A professional is my close friend’s father, kindly chose his work and put it in a frame representing image of mine”. That sounds great, lets her customers enjoy it as well.

Mei-Shun recently started a kind of 断捨離=dan-sha-ri; meaning cut, throw away and leave from keepsakes. Shin always gives her flowers, sweets and accessories on anniversaries, while souvenirs when he makes business trips. Dried bouquets, empty boxes and cans have accumulated beside Ms. Piano, stairs and in storage containers. This summer without horsey riding is a good chance.
Mei-Shun met M-chan at a baked eel restaurant, located nearby University of Tsukuba. Reaching the last year as an undergraduate student here, the latter niece safely received a job offer. That means the former aunt would miss big meals; might be better for her body, yet the worst for mind. Well, it is the exact opposite of elder sister Y. Happy, family communication is highly appreciated.
… Mei-Shun enjoyed, under gray sky where ample raindrops fall from. She heard such cool June was experienced 2 decades before. Tokyo area saw heavier shower that forced her to use a taxi toward her parents’ home. “Hi dear”, mother greeted her younger daughter. “Green tea, my handmade yogurt and ohagi is ready for you.” Beloved father, shall we share your favorite sweets?
Here are Shin’s souvenirs from Europe. He returned on the last day of solar May, stayed at a hotel only on 2nd during the 1st week this month. Mei-Shun heard from him that Hungary is famous for foie gras and paprika. Either is suitable to bring home; the former is a bit too high-calorie, while the latter fresh. It is used for gulyás, their symbolic stew the wife is quite interested in.
Monsieur Couronné Blanc, great to see and trot with you after extraordinary 5 weeks. Please listen, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun would stop taking lessons here from rainy June. Membership fee will be half during such holidays, while they regularly come and clean their locker who accommodates Mr. Sirius. It is a bit humid today anyway, gives the latter a lot of perspiration.
Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed a drive toward a riverside on weekend. After dropping in a service area, they walked through a wide green adorned by little flowers including “snake’s strawberry”. It looked like the wife’s earrings, yet one of them had gone soon. Well, it might join you, old friend. When they visited the same place returning, a shop clerk asked the husband if a red-bead accessory was his partner’s.
