A few days ago we took the dogs to the beach.Eddie was pretty sceptical and growled at other dogs.Lady was happy and enjoyed the sand and the water.The cold did not bother them, only us.
Our family is changing.While the girls are growing up, Tobias and I are starting a new chapter.

Konzert-Concert
Last night my three girls and I had tickets for the NY Philharmonic Orchestra in Lincoln Center.We experienced absolut wonderful music that touched my soul! A childhood friend from Kiedrich, Andreas Scholl, sang just angelic!! The conductor was the dutch musician Ton Koopman who recorded a CD in 1988 in Kiedrich playing the organ.He was really surprised to meet me in NY, the daughter of the organist.After the concert we were invited along to a very nice maroccan Restaurant where we had a great dinner! All in all a memorable evening!

Cozy nights-Gemuetliche Abende
Every night I am bringing in the chopped wood from the shed and start a warm fire in the wood burning stove.It's not only cozy and looks nice, it heats the house and saves on oil costs.

Lebkuchenhaeuser-Gingerbreadhouses
Hier haben wir zwei Versionen von Lebkuchenhaeusern.Das amerikanische Modell und das deutsche Hexenhausmodell.Sie sind beide schoen aber das Deutsche ist origineller finde ich.Wie immer deutsches Design gewinnt..haha. Die Kinder hatten Spass und waren sehr kreativ und die Mama hatte auch ihren Spass den Zucker vom Tisch und Stuehlen zu wischen. :-))

Samstags-stress-Saturday Stress
Carina needs to be driven around like a movie star.I drove over 50 miles this morning just to drive my kids around from A to B to C and back.It is ice cold here.But sunny and no snow.
Wir sind wie immer sehr beschaeftigt.Die Kinder haben staendig was anderes zu tun und geplant.Anika hatte ihr Pfannkuchen-Fruehstueck der 8ten Klasse heute frueh in der Schule und es war ein voller Erfolg! Das Thema war "Nikolodeon".Tobias traf Patrick von Spongebob.Die Pfannkuchen waren lecker!Anika war voellig KO danach.
Carina muss staendig wie ein Filmstar zu ihren Terminen gefahren werden.Heute morgen allein fuhr ich schon ueber 75 km nur durch die Gegend meine Kinder nach A und B und C bringen und zurueck. Es ist eisekalt hier.Sonnig aber und kein Schnee.

Taegliches im OH-Daily at the OH
New and interesting guests are coming into the Old Heidelberg every so often, like these two nice guys who are building an organ closeby and came to eat Lunch almost daily for a while.These are times when even the boss joins in for a drink and has a nice time or gets a little silly.

Katzenparade- Cat parade
These are three of the four cats who live with us.Two belong to us, two to Daniela.Three were already taken and eaten I assume.The coyotes are around us and we frequently hear of missing cats.So sad.

Weisheiten- Wisdom

Gottes Versprechungen machen mir Mut, weise Sprueche die man sich zu Herzen nehmen koennte.
Auch aus Steinen, die in den Weg gelegt werden,
kann man Schönes bauen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Today is a day where I feel discouraged and alone.I am down and weepy.Gods promises give me hope and some wise sayings who should be considered.
Even from Rocks, who are obstacles in your path
can we built something beautifiul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
