Facebook Of Stockings

The house and its colorful

The days of this week with Sigrid were quiet and full. Every morning he went into the pool and, like the old days, the afternoon did a long walk. Once we went to Monti opened new shops where very nice, it seems walking in some small streets of Manhattan. There was a Danish boutique where you liked the original clothes on display. Even near Campo dei Fiori we stroll always willingly. The district of Via Cola di Rienzo is full of shops and there is very familiar. How many new elegant places where you can eat. These are very nice restaurants, but a little regret those old, simple, typical restaurants of the past with a homely atmosphere, where cheap, the food was good. Times change, there is more prosperity and more abundance. And the whole world is uniform, unfortunately. Invariably we walked along the paths of the park of Colle Oppio. David gave us some pictures, and even the building where I lived before I married. In many ways we see mimosa trees in bloom.
From some days ago a lot of cold, is a gift that comes from Scandinavia. For the homeless was opened a few metro station. We are fortunate to be able to return to the warmth of home.
I made some nice lunches and fine dinners. Simple but tasty. I find such pleasure in a little spoiled my children when I close. By Sigrid we talked about everything, of course Livia Flaminia and was the favorite theme, in all ways. The teacher and director of the anthroposophical, Flaminia that attends every Monday, every few months send to the parents of her young pupils a review of his asylum This small class is called "Het Huis Bonte," would " The Colorful House "and houses more than seven children at a time. There is a waiting list. When Livia was smaller than it was her as well. Sigrid has shown us this brief report that consists mostly of photos with captions. David has taken pictures for me photo on your computer. Flaminia is seen in action.
the evening, the room David, we've seen the movies on your computer, old and new. The film that impressed us was Valhalla Rising, the Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn. A film you will not soon forget.

Livia this weekend with Kevin and Flaminia are in Germany, opa and oma (grandmother and grandfather). Here, too, have fun. Sigrid is very often in contact with Kevin, by phone or sms. Everything went smoothly. Kevin has done with the countdown: mom back in four days, three days ... two days ... A Sigrid this temporary separation has done very well rested, looks better. Tomorrow already a party, we carry the station, it seems like yesterday that we went to pick her up. His plane arrives in the evening, I wonder if the girls are still awake. It 'nice that I often see my children around the world, but the same every time the farewell is not easy. I am comforted that in a month and a half I'll take the flight to Holland for two months and will stay with the four treasures.

Hispanic Wedding Reception

The pool

Since the presence of water in the Netherlands is predominant, between sea, lakes, rivers and canals, from an early age and learned to swim at the middle school there was taught how to save someone in trouble in the water. Italy is surrounded by water, and rivers there are several important because I found that David is already something to take with confidence water. We lived on top of Via Teulada, half an hour walk from the Foro Italico, where there was a beautiful public swimming pool. I took a Abonnement throughout the summer that was valid for half a day. We went early in the morning. David enjoyed a lot in the water and, with me nearby, holding first, then leaving, always attentive, only goes like a puppy. He was in his element. When David was three and a half was born Jan. The following year, the Circle of RAI at Tor de Quinto opened its doors to staff and members of his family, with sports fields and swimming pool. In this nice circle of my children have spent wonderful summers and I with them. Even Sigrid, who came to the world when Jan had four years, less than a year was already in the pool in my arms: she too was born a fish. He played in the pool for children with his brothers and already as a baby to swim across the pool with great style "dog".
Seven years David was swimming in the pool wall with CONI Italico.Ogni three months to the Forum was an examination and only the children who pass could continue. Brought it twice a week together with Jan and Sigrid was with us in a wheelchair. Even when he made seven years Jan joined the CONI. But he was assigned to different days and was heavy all the way to four times a week with Sigrid still small. Every time later, rain or fine weather, he expected that out of the workout ended. It was then that I discovered the existence of the Golden Flame, Circle of police officers. Votes accepted Jan. David and swam the same day but in different lanes allocated according to age. Sigrid always behind with the bus at the Foro Italico, crossing the Ponte Duca d'Aosta and some more way to go. Sigrid was only four and walked a lot. Instructors seeing it through the winter without fail, with a caress often said, "Next year he swim with us too!" She was so very much and the time has passed the medical examination, I have paid the annual fee, but the moment of 'inclusion, I heard her say: "His little girl was only five years, here we start at six. "But since they had been to encourage you to come and a place was available yet began to frequent the pool with his brothers. David for a short while because he started with the pentathlon.
Instructors Sigrid were very good and learned quickly. The children were, over time, taught the breaststroke, free, backstroke and butterfly. At the end of the course there were the races. Even if it was smaller than its "class" Sigrid won the first prize. When was the largest it has been asked to do competitive swimming, but Sigrid replied that he did not want her back become as powerful as those of Novella Calligaris. Of all the sports he practiced swimming continues to like the most. When we go to Rome almost every day in the pool, so this week. Swimming relaxes after it feels like reborn, despite the 74 tanks.
told last night with a tender smile of Livia, who is in the pool once a week. He goes willingly. At the end of every lesson compagnetti jump in the water, beating vigorously with each other, going head underwater. Livia she sits by the pool and the Princess and the Pea with his face picky you slide slowly into the water knowing where the instructor takes in arms. This is our darling. Our tenerellona. Five years Flaminia
also begin with swimming lessons. I wonder how she will deal with the water.

Operation Repo Dirt Bike

Danny Boy

Last night while I was doing research on the computer for my next post I listened to the music that was broadcast on Classical 102. I stopped abruptly, I was immobile. Was sent "Danny Boy, "with orchestra and Nigel Kennedy on violin. A great emotion took possession of me, nostalgic emotion, tears burning behind her eyelids. Nostalgia moved back in time, stopping at all places where I was in my life as a child until today and I felt and saw in these places that you have all my loved ones. My thoughts wrapped them one by one and all together. It 's amazing how a song can put the soul in turmoil. When the song is over after a while I reacted and I clicked on Google Danny Boy. I did not feel so long, but I know that in the past I was excited. I wanted to know More on this beautiful Irish song, and now there is this miraculous machine that helps me to discover many things.
Danny Boy is the title of a popular ballad that is part of the folklore of Ireland, whose text was written in 1910 by Frederick Weatherly, a lawyer originally from Scotland who never had occasion to visit the island of Ireland. The words of the song has been set to music on the music of another popular motif in Ireland, Londonderry Air (or Derry Air).
The original text is based on a message of greeting a woman addressing a man, but the same author wrote a few years after the publication in 1918, the song could also be performed by a male interpreter. The textual meaning of the song can be found in a farewell from a father to his son (or a grandfather to grandson) the imminence of his departure for war or for the movements of emigration due to the diaspora that would lead then to Irish Civil War.
"Danny Boy" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Running with Nigel Kennedy on violin is incredibly beautiful. Clicking on the video of Eva Cassidy I heard a divine interpretation. Below the video there were some comments. A lady writes: "I am folding laundry as the great Eva Cassidy sings" Danny Boy. "Her sound is crystalline and ethereal, seductive and soaring. I am amazed by the way three minutes and 41 seconds of music can leave a sobbing girl into a dish towl. "Another comment is" I Feel Sorry For Those Who Have not heard the otherworldly beauty of Eva's voice ... She is a keeper. "
Many singers have performed this song, among other things Deanna Durbin and Mario Lanza, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, AndyWilliams, The Larks, Gerry Timlin, Joe Dolan, Frank Tenaglia, Peppino di Capri, Jim Reeves, Roy Orbison (comments: "This song broke me up. Tears and memories Things like this Should never be heard by mortal man, Both he and this song belong in Heaven. And I Guess That's where he now sings it" And: "All versions are special to me, as It Was the first song I ever learned to sing. I was eight. "). The comment under the video of Celtic Woman's song" This song is old and I am only 17 and yet it Brings tears to my eyes. "And by Foster & Allen:" It is possibly one of the Most Beautiful sounds on Earth. "Most or perhaps the whole of these singers have gone to another life, but one is still very young and sang Danny Boy ten years ago when he was 9 or 10 years. His version I liked it a lot. Immortal for us mortals.

Business Escrow Companies

Sigrid

Nijmegen 2007

The latest news? Next Saturday is Sigrid. He needs a break. There is no school for a week and so decided that those days will stay with us in Rome and an Italian friend will take care to Livia and Flaminia, with her two older daughters already. Livia and Flaminia like to stay with Elisa, and Daiana and Zoe play willingly. Kevin will take more time to devote to his daughters, he had a strong desire. Recently, it was often away on business. Last week he attended the fair in Berlin with his stand of Laladoo. Has been successful, was interviewed for television and newspapers. E 'bilingual, speaks Dutch and German. German mom has often ranged from relatives in Germany. She has a degree in Germanologia and Economics. And while he was away Sigrid was alone with the children, house, costs, lead and take the girls to and from school by bike. Often you see the parents of the girl friends of Livia and Flaminia which are very nice but the conversation always revolves around the children: school, colds, etc. games. Sigrid If you find a job not too far away to a few days a week would do you very well would have a reason to dress carefully, you would see with colleagues and not only talk about things pertaining to domestic life. If such a job opportunity she accepted. The girls are already larger and a solution be found.
Who would have thought that my daughter was going to live in Holland. I like the rest I never thought of going to live in Italy. It 's true that you know where you are born but do not know where it goes.
Sigrid went to Holland with the project and Erasmus University of Nijmegen (Nijmegen) knew Kevin.
E 'was love at first sight. E 'come to Rome with him to let us know and all we loved it. Pino was enthusiastic.
Sigrid graduated from Wisdom in Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literature and the day of Kevin thesis, surprisingly, was present. He traveled at night to attend the event. Meanwhile
Sigrid she enrolled in a graduate program in the Netherlands: Women's Studies, at the suggestion of the professor who was involved in Nijmegen to foreign students. According to him she was the only foreign student with excellent results in Dutch language. For Sigrid was a new language. My children did not grow up bilingual. I had more contacts with the Netherlands since my family of origin was in Canada, my husband did not understand one iota of the Dutch and the house was always full of children, school friends and neighborhood, my children attended the cones for swimming throughout the summer and the Circle of RAI. In short, the language was in vogue in Italian. By Sigrid I made an attempt, but covers his ears with his hands: "Only you speak that funny language."
After completing his studies in Italy and the degree examinations in the Netherlands, the second thesis was swift because Sigrid has found a job first, then he lost his father, after she and Kevin have changed city, married, one daughter was born. And while awaiting his second daughter wanted to finish school: now or never. David flew up to attend the big day but more than anything to help out, because shortly before, during a vacation in Greece with Kevin and Livia, Sigrid has a fractured foot. I could not go to her because I was by Jan in New York. Luckily there was David and was a great help. To go shopping Sigrid carried everywhere in a wheelchair with Livia in the lap of mother. She washed the dishes, reading books for Livia. Kevin, who was away on business all day was quiet. The graduation day was very nice. I plunge as usual on the albums to look for some pictures.
