Family
Married. My son and daughter first found for my husband and me one more
beloved daughter and son. The two couples presented us two charming grand-daughters and
two dashing grand-sons. Since then my leisure time is organised by them. As there is no
much space left for travelling hobby, travelling to conferences nicely compensates it.
