*hugs zooz* Wtg! And wonderful to see you. How are you doing? How are your parents?
2:19 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Sprite.as well as can be expected for the parents. as for me I am still plodding along lol.
2:19 am
sprite
((((((zooz))))))
2:19 am
zoozzoom
How did the visit go? Hope it was as good if not better thean the last visit?
2:20 am
sprite
it was better. We had so much more time, and therefore could afford to just sit together, talk, laugh, cry. It was relaxed. And amazing.
2:20 am
zoozzoom
That is good to hear!
2:21 am
zoozzoom
How is your foot holding?
2:22 am
sprite
saying good-bye was hard. But rose was starting to feel a little homesick, missing her family and friends. Our biggest regret is that we do not have a star trek transporter to beam us over :D
2:22 am
zoozzoom
LOL Now that would be amazing!
2:23 am
sprite
oh yes. I'd beam over to yours as well. Help you a little with the parents, massage your feet :)
2:24 am
sprite
if you'd let me, that is, lol
2:24 am
zoozzoom
haha! I would probably kick you I tickle very easily.
2:25 am
zoozzoom
How is Don getting on.
2:25 am
sprite
oh so does my husband. It's all about how one touches.
2:25 am
zoozzoom
Forgot the question mark. Sorry.
2:26 am
sprite
pretty well. He had some trouble with his coughing but that is back under control. He loved the holiday.
2:26 am
zoozzoom
Oh he had a cold? I did not know that. Glad he is better now.
2:27 am
zoozzoom
Or was it man flu LOL
2:27 am
sprite
not a cold, but irritation from the very dry air in the airplane. Rose made him use a nasal spray on the way back and that worked.
2:28 am
sprite
nah, not man flu. He was coughing badly enough that we had to consult a doctor while he was here. She diagnosed it well, and gave effective treatments. He got a lot better almost overnight.
2:28 am
zoozzoom
Has Tim gone back to uni?
2:29 am
sprite
no, it is summer break. He is here for almost 3 months.
2:29 am
zoozzoom
Oh nice! He can relax for a while then!
2:30 am
sprite
he has actually landed a job with one of the dutch breweries. He will be working full-time, lol. Making money and learning more about the practical side of brewing.
2:30 am
zoozzoom
How about Cara? she home too ?
2:31 am
zoozzoom
He has come a long way from those worrying days. I am pleasede for him.
2:31 am
zoozzoom
Ruddy typos.
2:32 am
sprite
caya is back to middelburg, she has moved house last week, now has a little garden. She is sharing the house with 2 friends. She will do her 7th semester this year and then she is done in middelburg. Will go to Nijmegen for her master's.
2:32 am
zoozzoom
Wow time has flown! Glad she is doing well too.
2:32 am
sprite
hasn't he? I am still amazed and so very very grateful about how well he turned out. He did a lot of growing up in the year he worked. He is such a lovely, mature man now.
2:33 am
zoozzoom
How is Rob these days?
2:34 am
sprite
just home from sweden, where he attended a canoe symposium. He had a great time and a nice holiday. He has a tan and is a lot more relaxed. Work is still troublesome though, so I hope he will be able to not let it get to him too much again.
2:36 am
zoozzoom
I hope he does not let it get to him. Will be hard though. Shame he can not find another type work place where he could feel more like he is worth while being there.
2:37 am
sprite
he is looking for that now. Both within and without the company he is working for. But he is over 60... not easy to find employment then. Still, I hope someone will realise what a catch he is and give him a dream job.
2:38 am
zoozzoom
Yeah age can be a barrier which is a shame as with age comes experience.
2:39 am
sprite
exactly. But reverence for experience is not a trait of our common society, alas.
2:39 am
zoozzoom
On Tim. I am glad you both did not give up on him and he has turned out to be a good gentlemen.
2:41 am
sprite
he told us about a month ago that he had been talking about his youth with his father-in-law, and had come to the conclusion that he was really really grateful we did never give up on him. That was good to hear :)
2:42 am
zoozzoom
Just shows what good parents he has :¨)
2:42 am
zoozzoom
How is Terra?
2:42 am
sprite
aw that is a very sweet thing to say. Thank you, zooz.
2:43 am
sprite
Terra is well. Getting older, and not fully healthy, but happy and playful and a very accomplished cuddler.
2:43 am
zoozzoom
Lol bless. What more could you ask for!
2:44 am
sprite
true :D
How are your feet, are you stil doing the stretching and does it help?
2:45 am
zoozzoom
My feet are okay thank goodness and to be honest no I have stopped the stretching which I should continue really.
2:46 am
sprite
good :) Keep working the things that work, is what I am trying to do in my life.
2:48 am
zoozzoom
I try my best and that is all I can do. I can be lazy when it comes to me though but would bend backwards to help the family.
2:48 am
zoozzoom
Time for me to go alas, Sprite. Great to see you and have a great day!
2:49 am
sprite
glad to have had a chance to chat with you, zooz. Have a lovely day *hugs*

I drew the line at Freddy. But I think they told me (when they got older) that they watched it at a friend's house when the parents were not home. I, of course, was told the parents WERE home because that is how sneaky 11 and 12 year olds roll.
