What wonderful memories you have been making, sweet Dzintra! Everything looks fantastic and exciting :)
I am so glad the weather has cleared up for you. We are slowly warming up, as dear Anita says, heading into Spring!

Enjoy your memories!!!

I look like a fun and busy week for you. Sydney is my favourite city. Harry Potter for you for Jo Jo? She looks cute in that red T - Love the new banner too - have a great weekend - love Nat
What fabulous fun times you've been having!! I'd be happy tagging along with you and JoJo, I'm a big Roger Waters/Pink Floyd fan and I love Harry Potter! The wedding looked lovely too.
Wow, what a busy time you've been having. The menu from the wedding is divine and you and Jojo both look gorgeous.
Great memories to share. If JoJo liked H.P. half as much as my grandchildren it was the bestest!!
i'm sure she loved it and you too.

Hello, Dzintra
I enjoyed reading about the 'Harry Potter' Extension exhibit. And your Harry Potter books are probably the version from England or does Australia have it's own edition like the U.S.A. does? I have often wanted a set printed from England. It would just seem more viable. We have about four sets of the Harry Potter books. I made sure my grown children had their own copies. Oh! And my brother who is the professional artist had a copy of 'The Sorcerer's Stone' (which I think in England it is 'The Philosopher's Stone'). Anyway, way back in 1998, when J.K. Rowling was in Alexandria, Virgina at a Border's book store signing, my brother (who lives in Virginia) had J.K. Rowling sign the book. I now have that book! A signed copy!
I seriously purchased the book from my brother which I purchased from him for quite a bit of money.
But it was worth it to me to have a bit of the Harry Potter history on my bookshelf.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
We are having wind and rain...it is lovely!
hugs,
Teresa
Roger Waters is such an amazing musician... I scoored tickets from Ticketexecutive.com for the concert in May.This man is something else live !
