Szia everybody, I was out of sign for a long while.  I had too much work at my workplace and home.  The main reason was : I have diagnosed with econometrium in situ carcinoma. My operation went well.  Now I am home and recovering. 

Sorry, I have no patient for photo.b.uck.et, so 
come and make a tour in my gardenhttp://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=93101 with this link

Dearest Erika, I am so sorry to hear of your illness. Thank goodness your operation has gone well... we will all wish you a full return to health, I am sure. 

 Some wonderful photos from your garden, I see, thank you!

It was my beautiful garden at late spring and this is how it looks like now

I would like to introduce my workplace
It was before me:





I just cannot beat the poor environment for a whole day, I have to plant some flower on the walls and in the windows

What a beautiful topic / thread. Filled with the most wonderful photographs. I'm new to seeing your posts and have thoroughly enjoyed viewing each and every one of them here Erika.  For me its a topic too good to lose.
Looking forward to seeing your future posts.

Gratings to everybody.

First, I would like to give a big thank you for Maggi. She was so sweet and sent me a birthday card. One more year gone over me.

I have a very good news. I had my medical check at last Friday. I am free from cancer. It is a big relief for me after a whole year of fear. I still got easily tired.

Let see, what is new in my life.
Pali's /my elder son/ girlfriend, Mónika moved to us. They are planning a wedding after they finished university. Csaba /younger son/ take a break in the university, because we are out of money. He will continue while he is working.
The weather was terrible to us in this year.  Had a cold, icy spring and a dry hot - I mean it, the temperatures went up over 100-120 for weeks, and we do not have air condition - summer. My garden suffered greatly. Many plants died out.  Despite this terrible conditions the grapes were very good and made an excellent wine.
Unfortunately I did not have time for painting lately.
Please forgive me, I am too lazy to upload pictures in Photobucket.  If you are interesting, you can see my garden here http://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=98866
I had a trip to Maryland. My friend invited me for a vacation. I needed some "indulgence".  Her daughter had a big birthday party. 100 people was invited, including me. I can tell you, it was a party. There was music played, polka and duck dance. Had a very fun time.  We had a smaller party, I rather will call a dinner for my birthday too.
I visited Washington DC. I planned to visit the Natural History Museum, National Museum of the American Indian.   but because the government shut down non of the museums was open.    I think I have to go over again.  Pictures here http://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=73881&p=1
I visited Harpers Ferry and  Shepherdstown. I really liked to visit those little towns. I felt to go back in time and have a bite of history. Specially liked Shepherdstown. People was friendly and I had the best ratatouille so far in  a tiny french bistro. Pictures here http://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=99945
More pictures here http://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=99912. I took so many pictures, even in restaurants http://arykana.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=99289

Erika,  I am so happy to hear this good news about your health - it is wonderful that the cancer is no more.
