thank heaven for little girls. some friends of the folks came over last night with there 9yr old daughter. last time i had met them i was the 9 year old. she bearly spoke english, i bearly know a word of german. yet we had each other ...and everyone else in... splits . funny how entertaining a big blue ballon can be. i reemeber her mom saying that she hadn't laughed like that in a year. moving backwards it was great meeting up with an old friend for a drink. nice feeling knowing someone for 7 years, and planning on for the next 7 at least. plus large pitchers of beer make these meetings even better. the wedding season is apon us. engagements, sangeets, nikkha's, receptions all light up the night sky with fireworks and huge stadium standard lights. the number of jewels in the queens necklace has increrased giving new meaning to bright lights big city.
