You do live at 32° lattitude south and we live at 32° lattitude north so that is pretty much the same. I know from my aunt and uncle, when I visited them in Broken Hill, NSW over the weekend when I worked in the Melbourne area. They tried to explain to me their type of grass they had in the lawn; it was exactly the same as we have here. So much similarities. In summer time one can live in a bikini here easily; not for shopping of course!<br />Sending you hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-78776120362875146872014-09-26T22:30:03.536-04:002014-09-26T22:30:03.536-04:00Dearest Tamago,

We were taught at school by Roman Catholic nuns and hind sight, that was a blessing. Nowadays they don't even teach crocheting or knitting at schools. Yes, we sure hope that Eddy will one day make it to visit with us!<br />At the time he and his younger sister were little, Diny was very grateful for getting such a break and I enjoyed having them. We did fun things together, like going with Mauzie our dachshund to the woods with them for a walk. <br />Sending you hugs and best wishes for a speedy recovery!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-80792479037450351482014-09-26T22:01:09.944-04:002014-09-26T22:01:09.944-04:00Dearest Michiko,

I did have a very large apartment at that time, the living room and kitchen were one open room and 12 metres long. So that was easy for placing thee tables and seating all 17 of us.<br />My Dad had lovely peaches and like Pieter's Dad used to do in the greenhouses, they planted a peach tree under glass for early and very sweet and juicy peaches. Still can taste them; all fond memories!<br />Internet can be indeed a mistery at times but I am glad I got it resolved.<br />Hugs and love and wishing my dear friend in Japan a lovely weekend.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-68602791565319850802014-09-26T15:25:00.453-04:002014-09-26T15:25:00.453-04:00Dearest Eli,

Thank your for your compliment, I am blessed with good genes for staying the same since I was 15...<br />You have found out the true meaning of life, it is not about earthly possessions but rather what lies deep in our hearts, close to the soul. The essence of life and happiness. We are all connected by love and whomever we meet on this earth, during our temporary journey, touches and shapes us. We than seal it into our hearts; forever. There it stays for building our character and for coming back to mind when we search for fond memories. Only that is called trues riches... sad that human beings often chase other so-called riches but they all turn out to be fake and never yield any warmth.<br />Hugs and love to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-36886086454161993782014-09-26T15:21:02.229-04:002014-09-26T15:21:02.229-04:00Dearest Manuela,
