September 2004,

Keep Calm ...

My boy designed this for me :) Does he know me or what?

first boyfriend, then husband :)

Ten, Oh My Goodness!

My little girl is turning ten today. 

Only yesterday she was a tiny little baby.

Now we have a young lady in our midst :)

Happy birthday, my darling!

Brother Bear

My brother is an incredibly talented nature photographer. As we live in the area populated by brown bear I simply have to share some of his latest masterpieces:

And no, I've never come across one myself, 

thank goodness :)

Sweet Thirteen!

It's official, we have a teenager!

Love love love that boy :)

A Very Happy Birthday ...

... to the love of my life!

Three Things (And Five Photos)

1* As Lucy would put it - I'm ridiculously happy about my new coat hooks! I've been wanting something like these forever - now I've found them I'm over the moon! Totally and completely!

I got two sets just to make sure there's enough colourful cheerful prettiness in my home :)

2* The work is finished! Done! Over with!

And I like the result. The above photo was made because I loved the colours. The bottom one shows where this crochet burst of spring actually lives :)

3* My little girl's new top! Isn't it gorgeous? The cotton top was a hand-me-down from her best friend and the crochet doily was made by her godmother. Ideal combination, wouldn't you say?

She absolutely adores it :)

Tickled Pink!

My boy, an aspiring pianist, 

attended a seminar with Simon Trpceski, 

a musical wonder from Macedonia.

We are all absolutely impressed by the maestro, 

an incredibly warm and giving person 

with a great sense of humour. 

Feeling grateful :)

Out & About

A fortnight ago we visited  

this beautiful part of our country. 

We saw the magnificent cathedral 

with one of the most beautiful Gothic chapels.

The Pieta in the chapel is a truly magnificent work of art.

I had to take a photo of St Andrew, 

of course, the name patron of my boy ...

Then I had a good look at the ceiling. Oh my!

Later on we spent some time in the surrounding wooded hills. Came across a salamander (just spat out by a snake but my camera was too slow ...)!

On top of the hill there was a huge cross and a lovely sign ...

... with a little bell which of course was rung several times ...

Isn't it pretty?

The cross towers over the beautiful old city.

At the castle, there were some lovely shows for the tourists ...

... and we even spotted a very authentic jester!

We had a lovely day.

18 / 25

Years of marriage & Years as a couple.

A quarter of a century with the love of my life ...

I'm grateful.

Birthday Girl

And she's nine.

My little girl is nine.

Happy birthday, my darling!
