Alpina's blog post - Getting ready for the Eve

Angelika will also be with us tonight - she phoned this morning and asked. We had told her before she was welcome, but she didn't know if there was somewhere else she wanted to go to, because she will be with us tomorrow anyway, when Phillip's parents come. They will travel for most of tomorrow morning and even spend the night in my house (which has become our house) - an absolute first for them. It's their grandchild which has made them change their minds for sure.

When I arrived home with my shopping bags there was a bouquet of flowers in the kitchen and it was from Elsie to thank me for my friendship. It moved me, I almost had to cry a little. One of my plans for next year is being together with Elsie and Joerg more often and really be close friends again.

Actually, I don't have much time for my blog, I lied and said I was tired and needed a little rest. So this is what I will have now for half an hour - and then back to work, so that tonight all will be fine and pleasant.
