Places

There was a place in my life , in my childhood which Iwll never ever forget.It does not exist any more but I will always be looking for a similar one during my life . I will always be looking for a place to live with my family where I can find a piece of green meadow, rivulette and woods. It will always stay with me but I will be trying to find it to show my kids that big city will never provide such beauty .

B-day

Well Today is my Birthday and I am writing this:

I am grateful for everything I got till this very day. ;)

Take this flyguy away!!!

Early in the morning,the first day of July my son said in a rather disturbing tone:

A flyguy....What the heck is that?One would say'If you don't know ...ask'/
I asked.
And I found out.
It is a mosquito.
