Merry Music

Standard

Thanks a million, Shin, for looking for and purchasing CDs featuring Ms. Sarah Vaughan, one of the greatest jazz singers. Mei-Shun heard her glamorous husky voice for the first time on Mr. Diamond, a car in dark blue given by her beloved father. Tape collection of him including classical piano pieces also descended to his younger daughter, confirmed with stronger media.

So it seems easy for you, Chinese 白茶, to stand up in a teacup. Mei-Shun loves and consumes you more quickly than brown one, also good yet rather normal. What fascinates her most is flavor of the former; flowery to nose, refreshing to mouth. If leaves come out of a pot via narrow spout, they would make 茶柱 to be sweet for eyes as well — particularly with 2 pillars.

Nicer Numbers

Standard

We have today a full moon or 十五夜, the one at 15th night on lunar November 15th, while 七五三=7-, 5- and 3-year-old celebration. Mei-Shun takes such a coincidence somehow mysterious — only odd numbers gather on a solar date of an even number. By the way, Shin kindly handed her a box of くろ玉=sweet black balls yesterday. And oh, where have 2 of them already gone?

Farewell, Friend

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at 11 : 22 to see Dr. M, her home dentist for oral cleaning, new mouthpiece preparation and … removal of Ame-chan. Before going tense and sad, she dropped in one of her favorite bakeries. Hello baguettes, whose width is just equivalent to her mouth. 3 with peanut butter spread between slits, other 3 with milk cream. Please stay sweet girls until she returns lively.

Joy of Pottery: 2

Mei-Shun had craved to gain two teapots; one for Japanese green, the other for reddish leaves. She found the latter shown above left, at a 300-yen shop whose design is quite nice, while not so suitable to make green tea. The former right, took more than a month to see at 益子, 15 times in price. Such difference does not matter to her: each of them has respective role.

Joy of Pottery: 1

Shin and Mei-Shun visited 益子 for the first time on weekend. According to a beautician for the wife, it accommodates almost all shops gathering around the main railway station. In nearby famous 笠間 City, they are scattered a bit too much to find the best place. That is why the husband immediately agreed with her to choose the former town in Tochigi Prefecture.

Fantastic Friends

Standard

Please kindly let Mei-Shun show her great gratitude to you sweetest 484 followers. It seems she takes treat only, gives no trick. Mom-in-law cooked red-bean rice celebrating Culture Day, put it into tiered lacquer ware boxes shaped like a plum flower, and presented it to her. On the other hand, Ms. Madoka was mischievous enough to wipe her mouth on the back of this poor rider.

Pretty Prophet

Meow, it is the 2nd visit to the nearest shrine by mom this week, after saying good day to dad who goes on a 2-night business trip to Taiwan. Here we are, cherry trees put on colorful clothes. She always draws 2 omikuji lots, one for him and the other for herself. Poor luck would be bound onto a twig, nice one handed to him later. I therefore ask Gods to give her eligible 卦.

Sweet Snow

Standard

Mei-Shun and mom-in-law visited a nearby clinic to get the 4th shot of vaccination against that “novel” coronavirus yesterday. For the first time used the one made by P. Inc., the former feels a bit weird. Or she just forgot her adverse effects against others by M. Inc. except higher fever after 2nd and 3rd. Anyway, white-covered Mt. Fuji would cheer her up on behalf of Shin who stayed in 海老名 last night.

Popping Paws

Standard

Here it comes today, one of anniversaries for Shin and Mei-Shun. After driving the husband to the nearest station in earlier morning, the wife returned home to clean, wash, dry and cook for a party at night. A messenger bouquet arrived in vivacious colors, let her e-mail him immediately. Mikan-chan, dad likes mom’s chiffon cake whose whipped cream you prefer.
