I started my planning while still in Australia. This was an occasion I wanted to be a part of. My first born, the child who made me a mother, was turning 40. This milestone called for a celebration and the element of surprise. I was hoping he thought enough fuss...
Perhaps making “friends” is a term being used loosely here, but, hey, it’s my blog and my day out, I am going with it. 🙂 I haven’t been to a lot of zoos, but I must say that I consider Perth Zoo to be friendly, intimate, and charming. Often I...
Even though we were told it would happen, it happened way too fast. The next day we gathered again. (You can hear the message HERE ) Mom really disliked winter, she loved spring, and the hope in beginnings it represented. It made me so sad at first to think that...
Has it been so long since she played with my son, since I helped potty-train her, or heard one of her stories in her little girl voice? Now she’s getting married!
The world is a rose; smell it and pass it to your friends. Persian Proverb Petra and Leoni sent me flowers for my birthday… Between mother’s day and my birthday, my room has never looked so cheery!
Today we met for the rehearsal for the wedding. It was rather emotional seeing Miquel with all his friends (weren’t they all just at our house yesterday swimming, playing video games, and having band practice?) and now Miquel is getting married. It was interesting, Donna, one of the directors asked...
Yesterday we celebrated Laura’s birthday. Heather and Chris arrived first. Then, Miquel and Enric get this wild idea. Since technically the addition hasn’t yet been approved for living in, and things have been left undone and could be for awhile, why not get the ping pong table from the barn...
I don’t know how I got on the subject of my friend Kiko to John Fieck, who stayed in our home this weekend, but I next heard Miranda ask, “Who is Kiko? I never heard you mention him before.” So the next thing I know, I am telling her of...
It doesn’t seem that long ago we went to Rams Head to see Todd Rundgren. Imagine how it felt to see my own son and his band Embers 4 Ashes playing there! Last night was such a time. The band right before they were about to play. It was nice...
My children seem to have been blessed with a mom who doesn’t just believe in a birthday “day’. It always somehow stretches into a “birthday month”. They don’t seem to be complaining. The first celebration Miquel had for turning 16 was basically just the family. Yesterday, we invited a few...
The best time are always found when friends and family gather round. It’s a slice of heaven to be together, no? I have always thought so, but now after this Covid lockdown experience, even more so. Still uploading old photos from my other gallery to this blog. Enjoy.
and...
