Anna @FourWalls To be honest I hoped to die in this house, but my husband health conditions are not good enough to stay in a big house, on three floors with a lot of stairs. Well, I will be fine where we go.

Anna @Juliaacv I was up at 5. My husband went down to sleep on the sofa downstairs, he says it's good for his back. So I was able to strip the bed and go down to the laundry without waking him up.

Anna @Juliaacv - You are so right, I loved those gatherings at my parents' apartment. I helped Mom, the men took care of the drinks and the small appetizers and we sit around the table talking and laughing until the evening. I miss those traditions.
