Sweet sweet home ALSO IN FINLAND

I took some photos from our new life.
Otin muutaman kuvan uudesta kotimaastamme, pikkuriikkisesta rinnetontista ( vaatimattomat 3000neliötä, kun suomalainen kotimme rinnetontti on sentään 5000 neliota.) Kuvia laatoitetuista ulkoilu alueista joissa koirat kulkevat kanssamme edelleen ilman hihnaa vaapaana.
Nauttikaa ja ihailkaa. Toinen kotimme taalla on alhaalla meren rannalla.
Sielta kuvia myohemmin. . Tasamaalla olevaa rantabaseota on monta saataa kilometria jossa koirien kanssa on valtavan ihanaa liikkua ilman hihnaa.



Rinnetontilla asutaan ja voidaan hyvin olla ilman hihnaa.



kuvassa ei ole kennelimme, vaan paikallinen kanala.
This is not the place for our dogs, but chikens near us.
Kolme alla olevaa kuvaa ovat paivittaisen lenkkimme varrelta.
3 photos where we walk every day.








Rannalla olevan kotimme lahistoon ja sen asukkaisiin on kiva tutustua.
It is so nice to meet friends who lives near our home which we have
very near sea.



I love our new life and country and everything here.

Aivan ihana - ja juttuahan tuosta olemme jo vuoden jos ei toistakin puhuneet. Siitä pienen nurkan tulen joskus lainaamaan ja nauttimaan lämpöisistä oloista kuin kauneudestakin. Eläke häämöttää aivan nurkan takana ja sitten voi olla kuin muuttolintu - lentää talveksi lämpöiseen ja ehkä kesän korvalla jaksaa ponnistella siipiensä kanssa takaisin

You have a lovely place to live, and what is the best you don't have to limit your dogs daly exercise by walking them in leach. Instead they can enjoy their life by running around with you and make a new friends in their neighborhood

The almondstrees are so beautiful at this time of the year, it almost look like there is snow on the hills, without the snow, cold and dark winter.

You are so lucky to be able to live in the country that has beaytiful warm sunny weather most of the time. People are warm, friendly, helpful and caring, not like back to your birth country.
Enjoy my dear friend, since life is too short to live in a coyntry that has too many miserable people who makes their and the others life miserable.

We moved to US, California in 1993 almost sixteen years ago, and I have to tell you that, that was the best move we ever did. Life over here is so much better than in our birth country. People are more happy, helpful, friendly and respect each others. When you do well people are happy for you and celebrate with you. BUT if you earned your success by cheating, you will feel it in your skin, and nobody want to have anything to do with you.

We raced two beautiful girls and gave them the self-esteem, we never knew was possible. They do so well in their study and social life too. They are happy, smart and wise, we couldn't be more proud of them.
I am not sure, if we raced them in our birth country that the results would be the same, because the atmosphere and the mentality is so different. The atmosphere is the key for the results you end up to be.

Here is couple of pictures from our own "PARADISE" in Moraga, California,USA.


Our own "paradise" that call HOME!


Mellie at the lisard hunting...

Ouh Irma! How wonderful! Hope you are lucky there in Spain and it seemes soo nice! I must come and visit you one time.. But lovely place indeed!

Certainly looks lovely and warm for the both of you Kristiina and Irma, in your lovely homes, I wish it was that warm for us in the Isle of Man, sadly the Winters are so very cold and the wind cuts right through you

The summer is beautiful in the Isle of Man, and there is so much countryside around us, it is such a pleasure in the Summer as we are out walking most of the time with the dogs, they love the open countryside running free away from harms way.

It is so wonderful that you both have found such happiness, it is just a shame that it is not possible in your place of birth, that there appears to be such idiots there, with no moral values, mind you, you get them everywhere, they are a specialized breed, my dogs even behave better, but really you should just pity them, as

nothing becomes of nothing

it must be so awful to live a life to filled with so much bitterness and have nothing else in their lives other than dogs, dogs, dogs, bitching, bitching, bitching, what about all the the other wonderful things there are in life?

Kristiina, i want to come and live with you it looks so fabulous there and sooooooooooooooo warm, you lucky devil

congratulations with your new home Irma, it looks so peaceful and nice :)
hope your life there will be nothing but pleasure

and Kristiina what a wonderful photos from your home, i am not surprised you love it there

You are so very welcome Tanya. I would be happy to share our little "PARADISE" with you.
I have always open doors to my lovely friends. Our house is not a palace but it has it's charm, and what's the best is the view and all the wild life we have around us. We live on the country side but still only 25 minutes away from San Francisco and all the wonderful culture (Theaters, Opera, Ballet, Museums, Art Galleries) and good restaurants. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful city in the world, and I am very lucky to live so close to this "mecca". That City just take your breath away.

Yes, every place has their good and bad things. The good thing in the area where we live is the awesome weather. Mild rainy winter but also plenty of nice cool sunny days. Summer is warm and sunny without any rain at all, and that last about six months. The bad thing is that we get the earth quakes once in a while. The big one is yet to come, but nobody knows when...
Life is so good over here and we don't worry what future will bring.

I am so very happy that I don't have to live my native country. Finland is a beautiful country on summer time, when it is sunny and warm, but the peoples in there are so adjective, rude and bitter. My oldest daughter Ona spent almost three months in Finland last summer. The result of that experience was that she doesn't want to go back. She didn't like the finnish peoples mentality and the way they treat and see the other people and the world, and I don't blame her.

Käyn ensin tuossa ensimmäisessä hyyryllä, niin katsotaan josko teillekin tulisin

On sinulla Kristiina myös niin kauniita kuvia ja näkymiä kotisi lähellä

Minulla taasen muutama asunto tuossa naapurimaassa. Kesällä maisemat ovat kauniita ja erilaisia kuin täällä ja haikarat täyttävät pesänsä, niin se on kesän alku. Talvi on sielläkin talvi - vaikka kuitenkin leudompi kuin täällä. Viihdyn siellä oikein hyvin ja toivottavasti tulevaisuudessa saan vielä enemmän aikaa siellä viettää. Ihmiset ovat ystävällisiä ja avoimia sekä erittäin hyviä ystäviä olen vuosien varrella saanut. Suomessa, kun olen niin aina on kaipuu kuitenkin tuohon naapuriin

Kyllä Suomi hyva maa on ja onhan siella sentaan enemmisto vaestosta huippu mahtavaa. Minulla on kaikkialla Suomassa hyvia ystavia.
Kaikkien kanssa ei voi eika haluakaan olla edes hyvan paivan tuttu, saati sitten ystavaa. Onneksemme me voimme valita seuramme .
Ei Suomi minusta eroon paase turha sellaisesta on edes haaveilla.
Mutta ei minua sureta sielta poiskaan olla.

Tanya, one good point is that people can choose their own company.
Finland is on her bests summers. The country is nice and beautiful.
You are always welcome to came here too Tanya. Also to my home in Finland.
Oh I cannot wait to see my own house, my little garden ,
and all those pure friends I have there.


Haikarasta tuli mieleen, etta on niita taallakin. Kun tulet kylailemaan
et siis tunne ikavaa Kikka. Niita on tosi paljon, mutta satun aina ikava kylla olemaan aidan toisella puolen kun kohtaan ne.
Otin sinulle tanaan kuitenkin kuvia niista.

Kuvauksen aikana vapaana juoksevat silkkiterrierini kiisi puolen kilometrin paahan. Meilla on karnevaali aika ja kulkue
marssi pitkin rantapaseota ja silkit sotki siella seassa pitkien flamenkkoleninkien helmoissa. .
Sinne soluttauduin kulkueeseen mukaan ja pyydystin sikkiriesat toinen toisensa jalkeen ja poistuin sylin taydelta silkkista onnea .

Huomenna en uskalla kuvata silla karnevaalit jatkuvat joten pitaa pitaa huomio silkeissa pelkastaan. Mutta lisaa kuvia heti kun karnevaalit on ohi.

Irma,

I don't know if you will still be there when we are coming to Spain.
Is it possible to come to your home with taxi or bus (or may be by train)?

Hope to see you soon.

I am sorry , but we live from here already end of march.
after 8.3 march we go to Marocco first and then up to Europa Italy.
But perhapse we can meet in Belgia? We spend a lot times in Europa this
summer. We only do short visit to Finland. So, I wish we can meet
aster your holiday same where?

I miss you so much my friends in Belgia.


I try to find a way to see you here .

Irma and Inari, Tonta and Melbe

No, onpa hyvä että kotoisat haikarat ovat siellä noin lähellä - meillä tuossa enemmän ovat piipun tai tolpan nokassa, mutta kyllä niitä maanpinnallakin näkee

Muistelen sitä aikaa, kun 2000 vuonna siellä nelisenkuukautta vietin - niin niihän se oli - oli vaan päässyt unohtumaan jo.

Odotan sitä, kun pääsen teille hyyrylle

OUH... I will never go out side anymore!! When I saw this pics of green places with flowers sun and so on... And later watched in the window out side on the cold, white/grey place ... noooo

Do not cry dear Linn. Norway is beautiful country.
These photos was for good feelings no bad feelings to anyone .

see you.

Irma and Inari , Tonta & Melbe

Hehe I was just joking :) You have lovely homes and I hope to visit those place one time! :D
Hope you take a short trip into Norway also Irma hehe

Norway several places too.

Irma and Inari, Tonta and Melbe
