Last week I posted a photo titled ‘Let’s Imagine’, I enjoyed so much the conversation it generated that I decided to once in a while post more photos like that.
Meet Mariana, my adorable niece. Her eyes talk to me. Do they talk to you? And what do they tell you?
PS: BadFish, now it is your turn.
She has beautiful eyes, Lucile. They tell me she is a strong woman and knows what she wants. But she is also a blast to be with and can make you laugh in a heartbeat–my kind of friend!

I’ll ask her to read all comments, Lois. She will enjoy this.
She’s someone who knows what she wants and goes for it. Her heart is gigantic too. Her smile is soul soothing. You’d like her.

Lovely portrait of your niece. She has wisdom, humour and a touch of mischief in her eyes. I bet she is wonderful company!

Hi Sue, she’s wonderful company, indeed. She’d say that her 7 y/o daughter is wiser, but apples don’t fall far from trees, isn’t it?

I’m smiling at your comment; thinking how many of us would say the same about our children. I often think my boy-child is a distillation of the best of his father and me (only with an untidiness streak he doesn’t get from either of us). 🙂

I’m totally partial about my niece. She lived a few years with us when her mother (my sister) divorced and came back to live for a while with my parents.
Maybe the untidiness is with every kid for a few years, until they live alone. I’m sure he’s a great kid if he got the best of you both. 😀

That could be tested quite soon; he’s feeling that it is time to leave home.

Are you prepared for that? 😉

Hm! I think so. He has always been very independent. It’s also quite timely as we are hoping to sell our house and move out of the city. My son’s job and friends are here, while his father and I are ready for new challenges. We would stay longer in town if that’s what our son wants, but he seems very keen to spread his wings. It’s an interesting time for all of us.

That’s good to be ready for that and creates the best conditions to start a new life style. I remember you mentioned before that you would move out of town.
It’s very exciting times! Wish you all the best.

Thank you Lucile. I’m so ready to move on, but until my partner finishes the project he’s working on that keeps him in Melbourne most weeks, progress is pretty slow.

I never used to like Sydney much, but spent a week there last year and somehow feel like I discovered the city’s vibe. Melbourne will always be special to me though because so many friends live there. I’d love to catch up with Desley Jane sometime. I have ‘t been very good about trying go meet up with blogging whanau in “real life”.
