-There!
Noak always calls my attention
when there is a plane in the air.
-There; Mama!
...meaning that I was in one of those things some weeks ago when he was home missing me.
-No, that´s not an airplane, I replied,
-That´s a helicopter.
Well actually Noak, I´ve been in a helicopter too, but that was a very long time ago, long before you were born!

Yes, those helicopterflights were great fun experiences, being picked up in my own backyard! ...wich lead my thoughts to a virtual flight I once had in Minnesota; a big screen ahead with a simulated moving seat. Oh, how I laughed, and screamed!!! ...wich led my thoughts to

...a walk I had in 1986 with a two-year-old cute little fellow in a poncho. We went into a café in a southern European capital and had hot chocolade together. I wore my favorite black skirt that grandmas´sister had worn in the 20´s. I felt beautiful in the february-sun. A photographer passed by and took our picture... I was happy in my soul walking with my little companion. Ever since, I have wished for a two-year-old boy. On Tuesday that my wish will come true.

When I was thinking happy thoughts, a double birthday party some years ago, also came to my mind. I was the first to arrive and the last one to leave that beautiful day. Potlock in a decorated barn, singing and dancing...

How important it is to make memories and to have fun!

Di; Thanks! Life for me goes (a little too) fast when I keep on doing the same things every day.

Uschi; Yes, maybe it is so...

Mary, I wished I had :-) ...or that I still had that black skirt.
