Gift day 24 +25
Gift day 24 is a ltitle tooth box for a tooth of my grandson who lost its tooth due to a very bad fall against the corner of a wooden stoorage box. It happened months ago, two teeth were involved. One had totally disappeared in the upper jaw and the other was loose in his mouth. At first nobody wanted the tooth, bad memory I guess, but now the other tooth has emerged miraculously I asked the mother if she perhaps wanted to have it now. And yes, she was happy that I kept it all the time.
Gift day 25 is still a bit of a problem. This day is called Queensday in Holland. The queen is celebrating her birthday and it's a day off for most people. It's also a day where you can go to the local shopping center and try to sell your old junk. A lot of people like doing that. I think it's ok for children to do, try to earn some extra pocket money. But not me. If I can't use something no longer, and it is still in good shape, I bring it to a recycle shop, or I throw it with the carbage, I don't sell it.
Just remembered. I did call my sister today, to congratulate her with her husband's birthday. He is at sea, and I didn't forget that. I don't have a close relationship with my sister, so I incline to forget that sort of things. That has to be my gift day 25!
