那天从Sonia手里接过这盒珍贵的樱花时,心里高兴得不得了。当时就盘算着要等爸妈来的时候用来迎宾用的。因为柏斯大雾浓罩飞机无法顺利下降,爸妈的飞机竟然被逼转到墨尔本降落然后当晚再从墨尔本飞回柏斯。这个行程也够漫长的,原本五个小时半的行程结果是变了十几个小时的行程。苦了老人家要挨饿受寒蹦波劳碌才可以见到思念的家人。今天我就带了这些可爱又珍贵的曲奇到姐姐家探望爸妈。虽然只是小小曲奇,但是情意深重。
在这里谢谢Sonia的一份心意,不忘在日本给我带来了这个很特别的樱花,也在我的部落格里留下很美丽的一页。这里也要感谢Wing
和 Sin Kaan 姐妹俩给我从Darwin寄来了精美的Franz Collection的碟子做生日礼物。礼物是在两个月前已经收到了(虽然生日还没到)。我原本以为姐妹都是合股送一份的,那里知道当我打开箱子意外的收到两个Franz的碟子, 当时感动得眼框都红了。我告诉Wing,特别的碟子一定要装着特别的料理给特别的人。今天这个曲奇虽然只是丹麦牛油曲奇,但是贴上樱花增添不少艳丽,也装着我满满心意,送给我最爱的人。
