I like my life which I am living now. Maybe it is not as "热闹----bustled with noise and excitement" as before when I was young, however, it fits with my age and my heart very well, it is calm....So nice.
Bought a new summer scarf.... one side is silk and another side is wool. I like the softness.
Anja played another concert in the church earlier today. She is busier than me now. Tomorrow will be swimming. The day after tomorrow she will go to a classmate's home and have dinner together with her....... We arrived at the church earlier in order to practice a bit with her teacher. She is standing there waiting for her turn while listening to the others.
Anette's new favorite hair band from yesterday :) God must have laughed at the two big pink flowers on top of her head:)
Thank you! my dear friends, for your nice and warm words!
Easter is around the corner. So, so many yellow color everywhere, especially in the stops. Spring is a very happy season for people who live in North Europe. The long night and cold gray days are over, finally. :)
Anette and I tried to have little fun together today. I am going to make the girls a few more pieces spring dresses and this is the first one :) I thought she would reluctantly to put on the pink flowers. However, She likes it at once. I never thought Anette is such a "high-key" kid----she even went to the kindergarten, which is our neighbor, to show her teachers and friends how she dresses her hair and her new dress:p)
We are going to China Embassy in Oslo tomorrow to apply for the visa back to China. It will be fun for Anette to take the 30 minutes' train to Oslo as well. And I will buy myself a present ----an apple green Marimekko bowl, to celebrate this beautiful season.
She was practicing as usual yesterday. I was not completely following and sitting with her. When I came to her room, I saw her playing her viola while trying to write down some thing on her note book. She told me she is trying to figure out the notes of a nice song. Her thought sounds to me as if she is composing seriously (she had made some simple songs herself already before) , for this time. I know I exaggerate it quite a bit of my thinking. The truth is I just sense her growing up everyday, her behavior, her way of walking , her face expression, and so on....
Senior citizens come early and watch the kids with a smile on the face.
Chinese new year is at the corner now. Anja is well again and goes back to school today. Anette has running nose these two days but over with the fever. Anette still manages to watch TV armed with the tissue paper. I have pity on her so she is allowed to watch children TV with my permission. She should be fine again in a few days. Anja had the exactly same symptoms as Anette has now. 
It seems that I am predestined to be a craftsman no matter how much I had been trained to be a professional in this modern world. I enjoy the stitches and the time passing by through my fingers... it makes feel calm. Music is my friend...
