I can't believe it that it is 3 years that he is gone forever. Time flies by so quickly. In one way this is good, I never want to live the last 4 years with him again ! It was hell.

This week was a taste of almost summer. The sun shone every day, and I suddenly started remembering things that I had simply tucked away in a corner and forgotten about. First of all, I had to sort out the banks; they still had the address of our house. I somehow thought that would happen automatically. Most things, yes, but some, not. So we arranged for an appointment on Tuesday, and I enjoyed Monday with my first sunbath. I was still dressed warmly, of course, but the sun shone so beautifully on my face. It felt really good. Tuesday I settled everything with the bank and when I came back I stated with pleasure that they had done an Ester decoration !

amongst several games we also played ping pong, unfortunately the tables were a bit small and not long enough. One Lady who is a bit crazy claps in her hands and laughs out loud all of a sudden, believe it or not this lady had been Champion of Belgium in Table Tennis ! Each time the ball flow over the net and then its own way, she claimed "and I have been champion of Belgium !" We comforted her and told her that she still plays very well.
Kim who entertains us had a very good idea, which I thought was a very bad ! On his program was WII playing. Fortunately I knew what it was and had also played once bowling, but for all the others it was just Chinese, they had never heard of it and when I told them that it was played on a computer screen, they all wanted to escape, but curiosity won.
I couldn't believe it ! They all played very well, some had strikes it was just amazing. And the fun they had was unbelievable ! My bowling ball always rolled towards the left side and I never got all keys.
Even in wheelchairs it went well !
Chantal who always carries around her plush dog, had fallen and ever since she has lost a bit her mind. Yesterday she escaped and a friendly neighbor in the street brought her back. Now we have all to pay attention that she stays in the park. She also came at 3 am in Jeanine's room and wanted to lay in her bed ! J. brought her back and locked her room now. Hopefully she will heal again.
Each day I walk around the park (not the whole, it is too big) and then sit on a bench and scrabble until 3 pm when our games start.

Signs of spring in our park
and our cheerful group, always ready for new adventures, handicapped or not !
I'm glad the sun has been out and spring is settling in. We had Wii for a long time and played as a family, or when friends came over. I was much better with Wii bowling than real-life bowling. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you on remembering your husband's birthday. Those are hard. I'm glad you had so many tears of good memories.
I'm sorry you've had trouble commenting on my blog. I don't know how to fix it. I have trouble commenting on some, too--one WordPress and one Blogger. They both say I need to log in when I already have. But I comment on others of both types fine.

Your husband's birthday -- I'm sorry that it is a hard day.
ReplyDeleteYay for sunshine and spring. Your castle has such beautiful grounds to walk in.
Have a good week and enjoy all those games.
I love that expression a sun bath. Describes really well the warm weather we've had this week. Time passes quickly at our age but you are creating many new happy memories in your wonderful castle.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like spring is there where you live. It looks so green. Sitting soaking in the sunshine even just on one's face is so good for body and soul after winter!
