A very Happy New Year

Hi my beloved friends,

This time I’ve decided to steal my father’s time, using his computer. Wow! The speed is like a formula one for me... No harm...he is retired now after all. He is very jealous of his computer though. Anyway, don’t worry, he is sleeping after lunch.

The last time I wrote some few lines and showed pics at the villa of my Christmas very quickly.

My Christmas was perfect with 30 % of my family. My parents have got divorced many years ago. So that I’ve created a strategy to share special moments with all.

I divide my family in two parts.

a) 50% are at my father’s house: my father, my brother, his wife, his son, my sister, her boyfriend and their mother (my step-mother).
b) 50% are my 2 brothers with their respective wife, son and girlfriend, my other sister with her husband, our mother that has appeared again in our lives, my husband, my son and me.
However, my brother, his wife and son couldn’t arrive in time. That’s the reason there are only 30 % in the pictures but they arrived at the very Christmas day (25th).

It was very funny. I had a ball with them. My sister uses to register every Christmas and show the past Christmas to us as a clip and we make many jokes. Especially this year that everybody needs to save money. We gave to each other the oddest gifts of the planet. For example, my sister hás given to me a “Dengue Kit” with medicines and instructions because she said it’s coming a new stronger epidemy. Well, at least it’s useful.

Now we are planning to spend the next holliday with my other 50% of the family: Father and his staff. Does it seem to be complicated to you?

Well, the New Year is just around the corner and I have my New Year resolutions in mind:

1-To have a very good innternet connection
2-To pay all my bills
3-Convince my boss to let me do the course I want to do
4-To build a new house close to the sea and closer to my workplace at this place. I’m eagle to know the new neighbours.









Friends, I’d like to wish the best of the besto f the New Years to you all.

Good luck, peace, love, blessing and money to all

Hello Adriana! Yea, it did seem to be a bit complcated for me at first reading. But it is good to know you manage to enjoy the whole family. I had been listening to Callum´s programme ´Who on earth we are?´ so I got a picture how important it is in Brasil to be in touch with others. Good luck to you and everybody!

Hi Adri, It seems that you have a BIG family. So you had the opportunity to meet all of them, great! I like your resolutions. Hope everything you wish become true soon. Best wishes, Cris

Hi Adriana, how are you doing? Where is this new place you're living? I was curious to know why you said your mother is back in your lives. Was she away? Your family organization sure seems very complicated, but if it works that's what counts. What course is it you want to take. I hope your boss allows you to take it. Adri, I wish you all the best in the year that's coming. See you.

Ciao For me it's the first time in a blog. I'hope to stay a long time with you. Thanks Fabio
