There was something satisfying about the sound of the birdie on the racket strings! Like a plunk but slightly higer pitched. And of course it did not take a lot of phyiscal exertion which I have always found to be a plus and make for more fun...<br /><br />See you soon almost family! xovvalentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594647719641535734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-22235955365647243212009-06-24T07:06:21.068+03:002009-06-24T07:06:21.068+03:00"Colleague" is the short answer.

I have them from all over the word. I even bring the plastic ones like you show on one of your pictures from my trips. We use them sometimes when we go to pick-up wild mushrooms. I use my avoska when I go to the farm market, but in my weekly grocery shopping, I ask one week for plastic and another for paper. I use plastic for small garbage bag and some none-food items and I use brown paper bags for sorting none-recyclable magazines and junk mail. I find them very convenient and economical to use.<br />And on the top of it, I also save very thin plastic bags American supermarkets have for you to put fruits and vegetables in. They are so thin and endlessly useful, and you can not buy such light bags anywhere.<br />To each its own.<br />OlgaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-7006579031871873772009-06-24T00:55:59.910+03:002009-06-24T00:55:59.910+03:00Well I hope I am more than just an old colleague!

They are light and won't take up much suitcase space!<br /><br />Those pouring things are so smart and it will probably take about 5 years before we have them here in the hinterlands...At least Ohio is the place they try all new products out...they test everything in the Col. market but it is a while before it all filters down to Athens. We only got those pepper grinder things here last year and I bought them in Italy back in 1983!!<br /><br />I am glad Skittles had a great time and that you have the wonderful babysitter. How great is that? <br /><br />So looking forward to seeing you!<br /><br />xovvalentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594647719641535734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-77730249113328812912009-06-22T17:55:38.442+03:002009-06-22T17:55:38.442+03:00I went to pick up dry cleaning this morning and fo...I went to pick up dry cleaning this morning and forgot to BYO big bags.

Giant Finnish cash register lady tried to stare me down. While I was giving her an equally nasty stare from behind my ginormous sunglasses. I was thinking, "Woman come on! Pack my bag!" Then Finnish hubby comes along, and says "Mee shell you have to put groceries in bag." OH! Well duh!Why didn't somebody say something? In Asia, they pack and carry it for you.
