around the world with ipuenktchen

what a great day in the garden, while the city was only
HOT- HOT - HOT!!!!! but here you can really forget
the awfull blistering heat there........



ipue's friend monika coming from marand, 7o km far from tabriz, was with us - and we all had a great day! it was a long time the kids hadn't seen each other, because of working, doing exams and so on..
and also it was a great fun to play with water...... :-)



pls imagine, yesterday there had been in TEHRAN 46 degrees,
as the news told us!!! and in tabriz around 4o degrees!!!!!

there are some years they have a nice monthly family-gathering
- and this eve it's ipuenktchen's family's turn!!
oh my god - with this HOT weather it will be really hard!! too less space in the fridge - they are drinking endless ice-water - all the fruits and pastries where to keep???

the close siblings of ipue's husband are about 4o ppl..
only his bros & sis with their kids and grandchildren..



*womenpower* will clean and prepare the house!!
and son2 and ipue will go in the afternoon to the fruit-bazar and will get also pastries and nuts and ice-cream........

we are not sure, to sit in the yard will be better or inside the house???!?!?! let's see what will happen finally.. we'll prepare both!!!!!!

finally in the eve it was a biiiit less hot than the days before, the fan was working permanent and ppl could support to sit inside the house..

boaaaah, folks, had you ever seen a watermelon of about FIFTEEN KILOS???????????????????????????????



ipue and her son bought one today!!!!! honestly it's a large risk - perhaps it isn't that sweet as you expected??!!? perhaps it isn't red, but nearly pink or awfully nearly white???????????? but lucky ipue and lucky son2 - this one was GORGEOUS!!!!!!! sweet and pretty red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at THU we went by train, *green train*, the *luxurious* one, to tehran for the b-day party of ipue's granddaughter ANITA_2004!!!
it's so comfortable, to sleep in a cool place, although it's a very slowly train, taking 13 h to tehran!! but we can relax and sleep..

POSSY & CROSSY in the train


ipue's son2 came to pick up us from the railway station in south of tehran and thanks a great new tunnel we arrived in about a quarter at his place in western tehran to get a great breakfast!!



later...... WOMENPOWER - at 6 PM the flat was decorated for her b-day,



the dinner prepared, everybody ready to welcome the guests and the guests started knocking the door and first of all sweet little anita_2oo4 arrived with the other grandmom to look at her *gift* a surprise from her mom & dad: a new bed!!!!!



it was a great party for the kids as well as for the adults..
