Happy birthday, Duša!

Today celebrates mother’s cousin and since I only have one cousin who I rarely see and no aunt, she has been all in one for me.

First, Edoardo Bennato really wishes to wish you Buon compleanno, bambina (with lyrics here):

This time I’m not going to show your amazing paintings that you have gifted me so generously (for that see my last year’s post) but rather revisit some of the together moments of the last few years, starting with the next generation.

We need to make more memories. Here’s to the thought. Cin cin!

Here is your son with his beautiful family five years ago. You know and the others can guess how big the boys are now.

Three years ago: the oldest two and their grandpa who is also your husband and looks like young Chuck Norris.

Here you are in your holiday home in Piran. Settette! (Did this expression come up in your Italian lessons?)

After a successful montage of the roof window. Your shirt says “You will make it”. Your husband’s shirt is self-explanatory.

Amore at the entrance to your roof terrace.

Quite a view of Piran from there.

To the other side.

You organised a wonderful winter visit of the places along the Slovenian-Italian border. This is the memorial for the victims of Fascism in Doberdob, Italy.

The pastel church in Šmartno.

Next summer we went to the Socerb Castle. Your husband chilling.

After that we walked a little with marvellous views. Your idea again (well, either yours or his).

We visited the ruins of the Črni Kal fortress above the viaduct of the same name.

Trieste below.

Here is the viaduct: Trieste on the right, Slovenian coast on the left, and your friends, grandma and granddaughter.

I often joke about my mad photo skills but this church tower in Črni Kal, the town, is really leaning.

Ahhh! Newlyweds! 😉

On another trip we had a look at the museum shop Fabiani in Lokev. Curator Miro was full of charm.

For some the time has stopped. 😉

In the Lokev church.

This summer we were taking it easy. The concert of Benč in Piran.

And finally, here are your past birthday posts on my previous blogs as a reminder:

• 2015: With your photos from your first (and only!) visit. We must amend this.
• 2016: With the favourite Sanremo song from that year and some of your presents.
• 2017: With your and my photos from our lovely trip to the “Slovenian Tuscany” and another Italian song with hand gestures.
• 2018: With your beautiful paintings and home.

Dear Duša, happy birthday, vse najboljše, tanti auguri, in allen Sprachen der Welt!
