This is very beautiful, Susi. Your garden is frozen in time and I love it. Don't let the stress take over your mind. Try to be happy and enjoy being with some family and friends.
Today is Christmas Eve and my younger brother is in Ontario, visiting from Newfoundland. He has two small children age 3 & 5 years old and I feel like I am living with little monsters. I never got any sleep last night and I feel like that guy in your picture (the big eyeball). =) I miss you sweetheart and I wish you much love and happiness during this Christmas. Like you always say to me - No stress.

No package yet, I assume? This makes me very sad. XOXO

Love and kisses, Natasha

Good morning my dear,
who´s working at sunday? Me! And I hate it to get up early, not to go out the night before because it´s weekend. *grrrrr....*
I read you had a incredible x-mas. It´s beautiful when the house is full of laughter and fun, I enjoy it whenever I can. I know you feel in the same way.
I miss you too and I´m going to write a long letter to my sisters. Did you get my little package for x-mas?
I don´t no where your package is, maybe it´s shipping to Africa? Are you able to ask where it is?
Did you see my english is getting better because I´ve to use it daily now. :-)
Miss you, big hugs from Germany.

Morning Princess,
I did not receive your package nor do I have a way to track the package I sent you. The box is fairly big, so it would be hard for them to lose it. I hope it is just delayed and not stolen.
Happy New Year to you! My brother and his two little boys are still at my house until Friday. We had a very big celebration for New Year's. Shelly and I were going to phone you but we could not find your number at my house. She has it at home, so you do not need to tell me on the Internet.
Indeed, I can tell that your english is getting better. You are a very smart lady and I knew it would not take you very long. Smart blondie. =)
I just arrived to work now, so I should sign off from the personal stuff. Love and kisses to you and the package in Africa. XOXOXOX

Natasha

Hello sweet sister,
I WANNA THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE which I picked up from post office today. The chain with the butterfly is so nice, I love it. And the Tim Hourtons coffee.... yummie. Thank you!
I wish you a happy year too, may it better than the last for us. I hope it.
I think you had a incredible party, only me was missing. But if I was there we had to buy a lot of red wine. *hi hi....*
We had a party in our basement till 8.30 in the morning. Yesterday I was awfully sick, today very slow in work and at all. But I´ve a nice gift now and it made my day.
Say Hello to all and have a nice week.
Love ya and miss you,
your little sister.

It makes me VERY happy to know that your package is not in Africa. =) I think this necklace would look very nice on your white skin.
Shelly said she also sent you a package some time ago. Did you receive it yet? I think she mailed it around Nov. 10th...

You remind me of a butterfly because you love to travel so much. Susi, my little butterfly. XOX

I´m very happy about it too, because I´d no time to travel to Africa to pick it up now. :-)
At this weekend I´ll have a date and I´ll wear the nice butterfly, maybe it will bring me luck. It´s such a nice idea you had, with travelling and the flying butterfly.
Yes, I received Shelly´s package one day after my birthday and I wrote to Pat a big, fat thank you.
The problem is my notebook had a totally break down for some weeks and my adress book is deleted completely. So I can only answering new E-mails, all older ones are deleted too, so I wrote to Pat.
Okay honeycake, I´ve to go to bed now, because work is waiting tomorrow in the morning.
Sleep well and have some nice dreams.
10000000000000000 kisses from Mrs. Crazy. *he he*

Shelly did not know. I guess Pat forgot to tell her - I just talked to her on the telephone. This means you received her gift in one week but my package took almost two months?? Strange. XOXOXOXOX A Million kisses for a pretty butterfly.

Ooh, that isn´t good. And I was so happy about the moose of wood, I love the moose so much.
Yes, it´s strange and I don´t know why. It wasn´t opened by custom. There was only a little notice on it: Controlled by custom. I think it was x-rayed.
How is Shelly? I hope she´s fine with little Thomas. Is she at home or back to work?
Hope to read you soon,
miss you all.

Shelly is still at home until March. Little Thomas is beautiful - I will upload some pictures to Flickr soon. Shelly is happy that you received the wooden moose - she just thought that maybe it was lost. XOX, Natasha

Oh yes, the army of wooden moose is watching me from shelf in my living room every day.
Say hello to all when you´ll meet them again.
Have a nice day!
Your tired sister :-)

I'm tired too. Last night, I didn't get to sleep until 2:30am. I feel like I want to sleep at my desk here at work this morning. Sooooooo sleepy.

Oh, my poor sister. I felt in the same way today but I´m off now till Monday in the morning.
Have a nice weekend.
Hugs and kisses

You're off work until Monday? I am so jealous of you because I need a pillow to rest my head on.

You have a nice weekend too, baby girl. XOX
