Kosta's TV appearance

Here's the video of Kosta's appearance on "6 me 10 mazi". My friend, Belpana, was gracious enough to record and post the video for us. Thank you Belpana!

Since I've been extremely busy, I've decided to do a quick post to let all of you in on why I haven't posted in a while. It was my second week home and I'm back into the swing of things.
Here's a little of what's been going on around here.





We began our week with Kosta appearing TV early Sunday morning. It was a lot of fun to watch, his sense of humor is amazing. I did record it, however, not all of it. I missed the last half of the interview because I ran out of tape. Yes, I have an analog video camera so I'm still doing things the old fashioned way. You can hear Gigi barking and the kids whispering, it's classic.





As soon as he returned home that morning, we set off for a picnic. The weather was gorgeous, the kids played games and we enjoyed live music. Beautiful day.







Within the week, we explored in our yard. The weather has been so beautiful, we've already started to eat outside.









We celebrated Foti's fifth birthday. He brought his favorite lemon cake to school to share with friends and we had another waiting for him at home. I love that he wanted me to bake his cake!

I've noticed that the figs have already started to grow.

Our lilacs are in full bloom.

Asproula is happy here. We are keeping her. Kosta was out shopping one day and he came home with a collar. She's ours. She loves it here and we love her. The nicest part of this whole story is that she chose us. We're lucky.

The kithonia(quince) trees have blossomed. Out of all of the fruit trees that we have, these are my favorite blossoms.

We've had a few visitors and have seen a lot of our neighbors, especially since the weather has been so nice. We've been lucky enough to receive a lot of gifts this week. What gifts?

Well, when you live here it's typical to give and receive on a regular basis. For instance, if a neighbor has extra eggs from their chickens, they usually share them. I like to give my lemons to the neighbors and friends since none of them have their own lemon trees. In Milwaukee I have excellent neighbors that share as well, it's just that none on them have chickens! I'm so thankful for all of the generosity that we're surrounded with. Here's what we've received this week...

4 loaves of tsoureki

30 eggs

5 heads of marouli (romaine lettuce)

tangerines in syrup

a bottle of homemade white wine

How's that for genorosity? All of this came from 5 different families.

Since tomorrow is Easter, my in-laws are going to be arriving with even more goodies. I'm sure that there's another tsoureki on its way and hopefully, a karythopita!

Have a fantastic weekend and KALO PASCHA!!

Kosta to appear on TV again...

After a short blogging hiatus, I'm returning with an Easter surprise. Kosta will be appearing on the morning talk show " 6 με 10 Μαζί" (Ant1) once again. He'll be on tomorrow morning after 7am.  I'm not sure what they'll be talking about, but I can assure you it's probably along the same lines as his last appearance. If you do watch it, let me know! 

I'll get around to blogging soon. I've been to Milwaukee and back and have a lot to share. Have a Happy Easter if you celebrate tomorrow! 

(Also, I'm having serious glitches w/ blogger...not sure if it's my lap top or blogger! Ugh! )

So maybe a little more than fifteen minutes...

Here are the videos that you've all been waiting for. They've been recorded by Belpana, a blog reader that came out of lurking to help me out. What she has done is beyond generous...thank you again Belpana! What a fantastic surprise!

Here are some pictures that I took at the the TV station.

I was sitting outside of the studio watching and giggling with myself as there was nobody else around for a while. 

As we were leaving the station one of the ANT1 employees stopped us and handed Kosta a phone. It was someone from the Kalimera Ellada show and they wanted to have Kosta on the show Monday morning. Of course, he accepted the invitation. 

While we were stopping for coffee, my phone rang. It was someone from another channel. They wanted Kosta to appear on their morning show also. Unfortunately, he couldn't have been in two places at once so he had to decline the invitation.  

This was a lot of fun for us and the kids were absolutely thrilled to see their father on TV. Izabella told her classmates and they didn't believe her. Foti was just beside himself. Belpana recorded a segment of his appearance on Kalimera Ellada.( a million thanks again Belpana!!!) Here it is...enjoy!
