We moved to the USA on August 29, 1983 and now are US Citizens.<br />Sending you hugs and indeed, tot ziens!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-9134374648392956592015-01-15T08:02:28.192-05:002015-01-15T08:02:28.192-05:00Marietta,

Natacha is like a real sister; only wish she would live closer to us, as it used to be in the early 80s.

Wir sind nicht als Einzelwesen geschaffen, ob man nun Familie hat oder Single ist, Kontakte sind wichtig. Vor allem auch "reale" Kontakte, bei denen man sich persönlich begegnet. Internet ist ganz sicher besser als reiner TV-Konsum, insofern haben die Älteren, die kaum mehr hinausgehen können, es heute besser als vorhergehende Generationen. Aber dennoch ersetzt das Internet keine realen Kontakte vor Ort.<br />Alles Liebe auch hier<br />SaraSara - Waldgartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15970139235219153018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-581469940311440332015-01-13T21:32:11.926-05:002015-01-13T21:32:11.926-05:00Dearest Kay,
