Fiesta in our City

The Rhine before the fireworks

Hello Mylotters! Sorry that I have not been here for a few days. I was so busy at home. We had visitors last weekend until Monday. My niece and her 3 (2, 3 and 5 years old) children were staying with us. We went to our city festival which had fireworks last Saturday evening at the Rhine. It was awesome to see how happy the kids seeing the fireworks. Then on Sunday, we went to the fleamarket at the same place at the Rhine and watching the ferriswheel and other riding toys. We then took a rest at the Rhine watching the parachuters jumping from the sailing planes. It was awesome. We enjoyed our bonding very much. The kids are huggers and I love being hugged by them. Yesterday I had my birthday. I did not celebrate it but just went having dinner at our nearby restaurant. It was also time for me to relax from my happy weekend. The visitors last weekend was the best advance gift I had for my birthday. So, how was your days at home? Any special things happened at your place? Thanks for reading.

@ShifaLk I have no more job. Just massage a circle of friends and acquaintances to earn a bit.

@thelme55 When I say visitors I am referring to house guests who will spend some days with us

I can´t do that @allknowing. If I have visitors, I entertain them with a conversation. I like to be treated like the way I treat my visitors. Thanks.

@allknowing that is what I understand, too about visitors who stay with us for a few days.

@crazyhorseladycx yes, they really touched my heart. I wish to have grandchildren but I don´t have any. My niece said that I am sort of an instant granny for her children. I love what she said.

@thelme55 My child is 17 years old, but when Helen, my brother's daughter, who is 2.5 years old, comes, I see that I am getting old because I don't have that much energy anymore.

We don´t have Lechon here and I am not fond of eating it @sol_cee. The fiesta here in our city means we have a lot to see like Kirmes, merry go round, Ferris wheel, fireworks at the Rhine, fleamarket and sailing and parachuting show.
