Small ones though, with a paper saying the origin from the mine in Ecuador.All stones and marble were different in color.They are for my neighbors who took care of my apartment; watering my plants, helping me out on certain things, taking my mail, etc And one for myself. Turtles represent in China longevity, did you know?I've a few in my house.I visited China.My first contact with Asia! Adric, my grandson of 8 cried when I said farewell.I could see it was hard on him. :(I told him his name came from the Adriatic Sea.(ITALY!)I showed it his world globe.He is VERY fascinated with Science and Geography!I showed him 4 fascinating places in the world!I've seen them.The Nazca Lines in Peru, The EASTER Island belonging to Chile,the Galapagos Islands close to Ecuador and I mailed him on my smartphone from the airport to look for the Machu Pichu in Peru too.We did so many activities together, you know.Claire is a wild smart and very talented girl,6 she is.Very creative and reads so very well!She is a good dancer, a very good athletic, sings so very well...Her dad says she is a handful!:) The bad news is, that someone (or more?) broke in in my apartment in BE! It happened on Oct.18th Well, it seems like they didn't steaL really a lot.All my drawers stood open. They weren't going in my safe.Even 100 euros were still there. My tv and my laptop are still in my room,... I got photos from my neighbor Simonne and the police didn't find fingerprints.I am at ease now.They close the blinds every day, going towards my terrace where they broke in.I saw George already 3 times; I've still 7 days to visit him.I made up a visit on Saturday because of 1day lock down.We've a 4 hr visit a day; 5 in a row per month.He is my love... we enjoy every minute we see each other, Robert.I realize how much I miss him in my life...What a wonderful time we have here!!He told me that we can even talk with each other on video, paying an amount of money per month.That would be so very great! Take care Robert, stay strong and live every single day in the honor of your so loved mom. She watches you. :))) Big warm hug from Rita!x
hello dear friend Robert,I certainly will read the news about how your banquet went!Hope you reached a lot of people who can make a difference in life for lifers... And I am sure it has :) I am so very glad you might to see your daughter,Robert!She came to you in the right time, don't you think!?Blood of your blood, that is so very wonderful.-smile- I had a super cool visit at my daughter's. They live in a light(clear) and nice house there in San Diego, CA.Their yard ends at a small canyon.And I sat on their self made swing, hung up at the branch of an American oak.I was kind of busy there. Made twice a day a walk with their black 9 month old labrador, Kona. He is tall!But an extremely sweet dog he is.He goes now to a training course for dogs.But he already has a lot of discipline.He and me enjoyed so much our mutual walks.;)The children came home from school with mom at about 4pm. Sometimes I cleaned, did my yoga every day, wrote letters to pen pals, read in my book, went to a store, went to the children's soccer teams, did a walk with Leslie and the dog at the beach, bought 4 turtles in a semi precious stone(onyx) and fossilized black marble.
Hi Antoine, thank you for your long answer! And you too have your way with words :) When reading about what you wrote about technology nowadays, a book came to my mind, it's Dave Eggers - The Circle. It's a dystopian vision on facebook and "social" media. This year there was also a movie, with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson, do you have access to television? Anyway, the book is better. I'm not part of the betweenthebars crew, but I saw someone continuing blogging after release, so it is possible I guess... Are you expecting to be released anytime soon? And how is your foot, all good I hope? My mothertongue would be German, the first language I learned at school is French, which I like a lot, Dutch and English are close to German which makes them easier. Anyway, I think it is nice to know more than one language, it broadens something in your mind. Some things you just don't have a word for in another language, and if you don't have a word for something, you can not think it, right? So it can also be confusing, actually. Have a good day, warm greetings, Julia
Wow, life without parole is crazy. I'm surprised they didn't give you like 25 years or something. That's a damn shame. You seem very intelligent, I enjoyed reading what you wrote.
