The ALAN PARSONS PROJECT..

*Old and Wise*

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh, when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see...

Another one...

 

Dear blog..

Unfortunatly death is close these days.. We had to say goodbye to another dear member of the Korbi-clan.. a dearly old friend (Of 94) has recently left the living earth.. she was quite the weldoeer for my father.. as she had taken my dad in when he was just a young man way back in the eighties.. and in the end she really fostered him and was always in our lives as wel taking (young) me to disney on ice shows and many more things..

Thank you M, 

I sincerly hope you have found peace.. 

The funeral was the coldest place i have ever been to.. and hope mine is more likely to be warm and not like yours.. almost a business transaction... not one kind word although you meant the world to my dad..

Rest in peace..

Xxxx

A day (or three) in the life of....

 Hi dear blog!

Where at it again! 

Going places with the kids.. but this time.. it's a place we've been before! 

2 years ago we went to the grottes of Han, at Han sur Lesse in the Ardennes and stayed at the Mercure Hotel, this time we stayed at the mercure hotel again but travelled to some further away places.. like the Euro Space center in Transinne and we even went to DURBUY to go to Adventure Park..

And what a blast we had!!

the higlights this vacation:

On thursday...

- moonwalking on ESA

- VR glasses and flying to Mars.. (getting dizzy btw and nauseous..)

- riding with mini explorers on the surface of mars..

- Learning everything about the moon and the planets in the little planetarium..

- going for a space tour walk in all the buildings with cool stuff and effects (and audioguide)! (my personal favorite)

Loved going to the space! It's cool, you could really spend a whole day and do soo exciting stuff!! The bad part, i actually sprayed my shoulder on the 'free fall'.. soo that was a little downer for the trip.. but nevertheless, it's a cool place to visit! In my opinion there waren't many people, but the museum was quite full :) .. time passed very quickly and we stayed there from 10.30u till 16.30u! 

You could even go for an all in - with sleeping over too! But unfortunatly i saw this quite late..

On friday:

- mm.. nice breakfast at the hotel!

- going to Durbuy and hiking for a little bit..

- seeing people from Asper in the tourisme center.. (Lieslot from grade 5) what are the odds????

- going to the adventure park on an indoor pass::.. this included bowling... laser shooting, fast tag and playing at the kids zone..

the kids really had a blast over there!! 

- in the evening we went to dinner at 'chez Herman'.. mmmm.. 

On saturday: we left the hotel by 11.u

but first breakfast!! and then a little dive in the pool!! :D YAY.. luckily we still had the time to do that! 

we went to a concert in Antwerp: 'the 4 seasons from Vivaldi'.. And it was sooooo lovely!

On sunday we had the kids enrolled at the 'literaire kermis' at Deinze...

An afternoon of workshops with wellknown authors and illustrators.. like Carll Cneut and Leo Timmers!
