Хубаво, че тази година темите са толкова близки до всеки от нас – особено „В кругу родных. Я и моя семья“. Може би ще се опитам да напиша нещо за това как баба ми ни учеше да садим цветя заедно и как после цялото семейство се събираше на масата. Кой знае, може и да събера смелост да пратя.

Мариана, у меня тоже сразу мысль о бабушке — она учила внуков поливать грядки с укропом и петрушкой, а потом вся семья садилась за стол с этими же травами. Тема «В кругу родных» действительно близкая. Попробую написать короткий рассказ про то, как мы с мужем, пока он был жив, вместе сажали яблони на даче под Гатчиной.

Мариана и Екатерина, у меня тоже сразу бабушка в голове — она нас с сестрой учила вышивать простые крестики на полотенцах, а потом вся семья за ужином эти полотенца под тарелки стелила. Тема «В кругу родных» правда живая. Может, и я соберусь, напишу короткое воспоминание, хотя стихов у меня никогда не получалось.
