 Sunday, there was an other anniversary! Happy birthday Jérôme!

 A great family’s gathering!

 Jérôme is an happy grandfather! The cute Lya prepared the table for the lunch!

 And after this great job, she was at table before us, eating when we were drinking a good aperitif: a glass of orange or lemon wine!

 My sister cooked a good “Boeuf Bourguignon”! We loved it all!

 And this “Baron de la Varière” , delicious!

 Of course, no anniversary without bubbles and cakes!

And at the end began the “Belgian Grand Prix ” on TV! i tought to Gattina knowing Mr. Gattino was at the same time in front of his TV in Waterloo!

This is the life of bloggers’ friends to have a thought sometimes in the journey each for others!

Mamie birthday!

Yesterday we fested the birthday of Pierre’s mother. 88 years old!

It was a nice gathering on her balcony with Pierre’s brother and sister!

We were admiring the view on the town and hills around, speaking about our life, our children and jobs…looking the old family’s photos, black and white and specially those when Pierre was living in north Africa in Algeria where the family staid to 1966 after the independance.

It was a very very nice moment! (click on the pictures to enlarge)

Here a portrait of  my mother in law, a painter did when they were living  in Algeria.

A beautiful clumb she received and you can see behind and around memories of her life in Africa. (She staid around 20 years between Marocco and Algeria)

 As you can see on the picture she is so glad with her family around.

 We love all the point of view from the balcony.

Do you recognize my Pierre on the picture?

 Mamie Marguerite, Susie (my sister in law) and me.

And Mélissa with her two cousins, Manu and Lou!!!

Aren’t they adorable!!!

Love these moments and then I think to my other daughter Anaïs who lives actually in Finland as an Au pair in a wonderful family! We spoke about her at the gathering where everyone wanted news of her and we explained how she was glad to be in North Europe knowing another culture, landscapes and so so nice people.

So I will end with big big hugs to Anaïs Finnish family, big big hugs to my usual readers and a big big kiss to my daughter Anaïs!!!
