20 years...

... has passed, when Estonia got her Independence again. Time just have went fast.
If we think back for that 20 years, how things was then and how it is now, when it has been changed so much with this time and I believe, that there will come more changes.
What do I remember from that past 20 years. It is many different things. Remember how it was to get independence and shortly after that we was need to defend it, because Russian military came into our capital with tanks and Estonians defended TV tower.
Summer later we got our own currency. Ruble was exchanged with crown. Now 19 years later crown has been exchanged to euros. Is that good or bad - in my opinion, it has both sides, but as for the public and ordinary people, it has made more concern than good things. Lately has this concern came to the politicians and economics. Would we have had same problem, if we would had kept crown, that will remain the question, what will never get answer.
Other things, what came with our independence was that we could travel more abroad. First it was not very easy and it was also very expensive, but when our country improved that we can behave, it started to get easier to travel. More easier started it to be when we joined with Schengen and European Union, the traveling went much more easier for Estonian people. That has made people to feel free.
Also some other things have happened during this time. Most times has been that people has been satisfied, some of the time people has not been that. Always can find things, what we might not like, we might not like decisions what politicians have took, but on the other hand, we can't say much about it, since it has been us, who has been chose them to represent us.
Today it is celebration day. We have had our independence for 20 years and it is bit more than half of my life. I was just a schoolgirl when our country got independent and now 20 years later I have seen how Estonia has grown from the day we got free from Soviet Union. 
Today evening I just miss that I am not in Estonia. In Tallinn, they have big song festival again for remember the singing revolution. Only this time it is not that we need to sing us free. This time it is for at remember those times and also to show the world, that Estonians holding together no matter what.
Have a nice Independent day my dear fellow countrymen!

Office/ Sewing room,

Today I made some more new changes at my room what is both my office and sewing room. Previously I changed bit there before, but after I bought overclock, it seemed like my room need some more changes. So after the work, my friend and colleague gave me a good idea to go to IKEA and look in bargain corner and look something might be there. I had looked also before in shop some other table tops, and thought I go look first in that corner and after that I will go and take the one I looked in shop. In the bargain corner I made a good find. Found a table top what was exactly that size, what I was needed. Of course, in the beginning I thought that I need bit smaller that this tabletop will not fit, but it fitted precisely. So I was very happy for my good catch and that I saved some money. 

Wedding picture,

Today was one of our wedding picture published at our local newspaper Jönköping Nu :) That feels interesting :) Our 15 seconds of fame :D

Chrismas in August,

Today it feels, like I have got visit from Santa Claus. Feels like it is Christmas and I got Christmas presents. Still we all knowing that Christmas is not yet.
Today morning, when I met my friend and colleague at work, she had a big bag for me :) I got my sewing things, what I had asked Kristi to buy for me in Estonia, when she was there on her vacation. I had asked her to buy some quilting magazines. Now I can start to make some more interesting things. Feels actually good, since it feels very interesting. The magazines are interesting place to gather ideas.

I also got thread to my new overlock, since thread is one thing, what is still cheaper in Estonia, when it is here. So, every time Kristi has been in Estonia, she have taken some thread with her for us. An of course some other things, what I needed and what is cheaper there, when it is here. I got also very nice ribbon for baby things. Here I have not seen yet anything nice and that picture on ribbon would be clear.
So, Christmas in August is good :) Hopefully I can go soon as well to that shop and see what more good things there can be found :D Thank you, Kristi for my things.

Babysitting,

Today me and my dear husband had opportunity to help one of our dear friend. Due that she worked all day, we helped her by babysitting her 3 children. Oldest boy is 6 year old and twins are 4 years.
They arrived just bit after 8 in the morning and since they did not want to eat breakfast, took me and Tommy quickly breakfast and after we brushed our teeth we started our trip towards to Falköping. We planned to visit Tommy's father, so that I could get some apples and children could see how the things are in farm. They petted calves and tried to pet cows as well, but that was not the easiest. They also played outside and just walked in barefoot on the wet soil. They seemed really like to be outside in the farm, since in every first opportunity they run into the stable to play and pet the calves. When they game to inside, we took a small lunch and after that we went to playground in Falköping so that they could pet some more animals and play. It ended that we spent almost 3 hours in the playground. In the same time the time we spent there just flied. After the playground before we came home, we went to shop buy some food and things and after that we started our driving to home. After 5 km it got very quiet in backseat of the car. All three just had felled to asleep. The sound was so nice and same time also very cute.
All those 3 cuties woke up just before we arrived back to home. Tommy and kids went to outside. Tommy started to cut the grass and children started to play with water guns and if that was not enough, they took water hose and started to spray Tommy. I think, that was fun to kids, but not that fund for my husband. He was totally wet :D But at least his wife got good laugh out of that :) And that worked for me.
After dinner we looked together Dumbo and played little. Just before their mother came we ate fresh homemade apple pie. Shortly after that arrived also their mother. Seemed that children was very happy to see their mother. We just laughed over it.
It was very good day at least for us. It was nice to babysit those cuties. I think even my dear husband liked babysitting :)
