SIS cards and "LA Blues"

Yep... they arrived: our SIS cards.
These little cards (sized like debit cards) are very valuable in Belgium, since they are needed when you are hospitalized, when you go to the pharmacy to get prescription drugs and so on...
It was a big deal to get them, since we do not have our Belgian identity card and sometimes the health insurance gives you a hard time... Sometimes they refuse to hand you the SIS cards if you have no identity card. Since we are waiting for our identity cards, we did not think that our health insurance would hand us the SIS cards, but (lucky for us) they did!
Now prescription drugs will be cheaper again and we do not have to worry about having to go to the emergency room... Hopefully never, but you never know!

Other than this, nothing special happened this week, with the exception that both Alain and myself are having the "LA BLUES"... BIG TIME!
It's not only the beautiful weather and the nice location: IT'S ALL OF YOU GUYS... You can not even start to imagine how much we miss you all, how much we miss our gatherings at the poolside (with of course some wine or Nancy's margaritas and home made guacamole and tacos!). Yes, we seriously have had a rough day today! Since we could not say what was going on, we decided to call it the "LA BLUES"...

OK, better stop writing now… soon my keyboard will be covered in tears…
Love you all and can’t wait to hear from you… we’ll try to call this weekend.
