A couple of weeks ago, Mark and I spent a few days at the Fekete family home in Ottawa. I introduce you to Alex (Sanyi) and Susanna (Zsuzsi). (fyi. . .my husband's Hungarian uncle and aunt from his father's side.) Sanyi and Zsuzsi have been married for 60+ years and their stories about life, their neighbors, the arts, politics et cetera were truly captivating. The images below reveal a few details from their lovely home.
Handsome couple, don't you think?
I think I will adopt them as my grand-père and my grand-mère.
A few details. . .
When Mark was a young boy, Sanyi built him wooden boats from the book below.
And yes, the many many books. . .
They were everywhere! I was in heaven!
Side Note: I really do need to read more.
And the delicious drinking and eating. . .
Zsuzsi favors the Japanese Plum Wine. Sanyi prefers the Hungarian stuff.
The plum wine was yummy!
And the garden...it was breathtaking!
MISKA was their deeply adored black lab-sheperd mix companion.
I love the bird-bath...
Thank you Sanyi and Zsuzsi for a fabulous weekend and our green babies. (below)
