Immediately after buying the gift, we went to have a coffee in the outdoor area of the mall.
While we were waiting for the waitress, two men started an argument and my friend realized that one of them was carrying a firearm and called us to get out of there.
But I love coffee and tried to keep waiting for my drink until they warned me of the risk of being hit by a bullet and then I gave up the coffee.

I’m in my grandmother’s house when the dogs start to bark. I’m afraid someone will come in. As soon as I can I scream for my grandma, and she yells at me, the dogs just want to eat, she’s preparing the food’s dog until they stop. And two men arrive and say “Hi” smiling, it is my cousin and my brother, they are trying to scare me, and they laugh out loud. The moment the dogs think they are strange men,  they try to attack them until they realise who it is. After a while my grandmother yells at everyone, including me. I don't do anything, such a big injustice! My cousin and my brother crack up. My whole childhood was this way, as a youngest, the other ones made fun of me. Thinking better, I don´t think I miss my childhood.

So there we are, sliding in a little sled with kids everywhere until one of them jumps in front of me and at the moment I realize I've almost run over the kid. I turned the sled so fast that I spun and rolled downhill until I reached the finish line. It was so embarrassing, anyway, we laugh to this day.]]> 2022-04-03 21:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/karinegoncalves1/iaanh6am58mloh6/wish/2127519259 The cake brudanielli https://padlet.com/karinegoncalves1/iaanh6am58mloh6/wish/2131234953 My family and I went to spend a weekend at Chapada dos Guimarães, and my nephews went together.

     When I was single, I went to Ilha Grande to meet my boyfriend and some people of his family: his mother;
 one of his sisters and her children, Leandro and Luciana; and one of his brothers.
      Every day we'd gone to a different beach and then went to a waterfall where we dived. Leaving the beach and dive in fresh water was so good, because it made us feel lighter. 
      Some day, me and my boyfriend had gone to a beach, when his niece ask us to go too. This time we were going to canoeing and she was with us. When we'd been on canoe, the waves crashed into it. At this time we'd noticed the canoe was going to sink. My boyfriend told me to jump, but I preferred wait it to sink. As soon as the canoe sank, I held the hand of Luciana with one of my hands, and with other I held the canoe. The moment a man was help us to go to the beach. Then me and Luciana went back by walking and my boyfriend went by canoe. And everything was fine.

I remember always being happy and laughing a lot when I was with my family and friends. I usually travel to my grandparents house, in Guarapari-ES, especially on carnaval and Christmas. We used to celebrate and spend some time with all the family reunited. I still love my grandma’s cake, and, when I eat this, I remember how I used to love eating this with my cousins, at the corner of the house. I miss this time so much because I remember that I had so much fun on those days. We don’t do this anymore because of the pandemic, and, now that we grew up, we don’t have so much time like we used to. Some times we do some video calls but is not the same. But, last year, my grandparents wore celebrating 50 years of marriage, and my mom decided to do a special thing. She called her 2 brothers to organize a surprise for their parents, and reunite the hole family after 2 years of the pandemic. At first, they didn’t agree with the ideia, they wore thinking that was not going to work, but after a long time of talking, they decided to do. The first thing we did was call the priest to reserve the church to our family, but he said that was impossible to do this at the big church, but he could try to reserve the small one, at the top of the mountain. He got this, after a long work. The priest is a friend of my grandparents of a long time, and he agree to help us with this mission. Then I, my sister, and my cousins agree with doing a special clothes for the event. The girls wore going with a white dress with a belt of flowers and flowers at the hair, white shoes and the boys with social clothes. The uncles and aunts wore just going with social clothes and chic dresses. Than we called the photographer and the people that wore making the flowers to confirm if was everything ok, and buy the tickets. As we wore doing this thing at a secret, we had a problem: how my grand parents wore going to go to the church with our knowing that was a important celebration, with the right clothes, at the right time, at the other church, that they don’t go normally? I’m the closest grand daughter of us, so I called her and I had to lye. I said that the priest was celebrating a special blessing, just foi they 2, at the small church, and she should go there. And as all of the family was not able to go, she was very sad, but I send her a dress, and tell she to use that dress so she can remember all the family when the celebration was happening. After a lot of time of convincing, she accept the ideia, not understanding, but she was doing this for me. My mom and 1 of her brothers leave here in Brasília, and the other leave in Vitoria. At November 28, the 3 sons and their families got the plane to Guarapari, and hide in a hotel near to the church. At the plane, was very fun because we wore very happy and very nervous. We had to hide so well because they leave near there too. We arrived in Guarapari at 12h, got to the hotel, took a shower and got ready to the celebration. Than we got to the church and hide at the attic so they can’t see us. My younger cousin started to have a laughing attack and we wore all nervous, was a mess. Than we listed to they arriving at the church. They said “hi” to the receptionist, enter the church, sat down at the first bank and started to talk with the priest. This was the time we got out and made 2 lines, from the youngest grand daughter to the sons and their wifes and housbands. At this time, they wore not seeing us, as they wore turned to the other side. I was at the front because I was bringing the rings, and had passed a lot of time since I saw they both for the last time, and when I saw that what we did was happening and they wore there, at some steps away, a tear fell from my eye. The priest said: 
  • Is important to celebrate the marriage because is the start of a family, and yours are a big, happy and love family. And is important to look behind and look for all you built, so look back. 
When he finish saying, they both turned back and started a beautiful music, and when the doors open, the hole family enter. We had never seen my grandpa crying, but they both start crying a lot, because they wore not expecting, and when we saw they crying, we started to cry too. Was a very beautiful and emotional celebration, and i think was the best family memory I’d made.
