Oma turned 100 years old today. 

One century and still shining like a young girl.

Roses and a cushion with flowers for oma's 99th birthday.
Happy birthday oma!

weekend

My mum is at our place for the weekend. It's strange how much more 

I can do when she's here. We planted flowers in oma's garden, cooked 

meals, cleaned up, gave Jonas a bath,...

home sweet home

Flynn went crazy when we drove up the yard after ten days. 

Oma was happy that we were back home. So were we. 

Specially Jonas, who finally slept well.

It was a wonderful day!

from today

oma and mali 2

One month ago, when oma was in the hospital, we were afraid she
wouldn't recover. But luckily she's a strong woman. Yesterday I saw
her walking through the garden. I was so happy to see her enjoying
the sun and Mali's company.

oma's home

Oma has been in the hospital for one week and she probably 

has to stay one week longer. 

It's an awful place and of course she misses home.

We all hope she recovers quickly, so she can come back soon.

for oma *98*

Today it's oma's 98th birthday! "I don't feel that old" she told me.
And I answered that she doesn't looks that old neither, what's true.
I hope I will be in the same condition as she is, if I ever reach that
age.

oma in the garden

Everyday, if the weather permits, oma is resting in the garden. 

If it's really hot, just like yesterday, she lays in the shadow of 

the trees. 

If it's a bit colder, like today, she wears a scarf and a winter cap. 

oma, mali and new flowers

Yesterday my mum and I planted new flowers in oma's window boxes. 

Oma and Mali were looking, Flynn tried to help a little by taking 

the plastic flower pots to every corner of the garden.

oma 3

For those of you who wonder how oma's doing, after being brought to
the hospital last week; since yesterday, she's back her good old self!
She's already taking care of others; above you see her preparing bread
for the chickens.

oma 2

Today oma was so weak she could barely stand. She had to go to the

hospital. I hope they will give her good nursing, so she can come back 

home soon. 

The house feels empty and to big without her. I already miss her 

voice calling the cats. And her shamble in the hallway.
