Our lantern festival – Saturday

Not much happens during the day on Saturday but since we were preparing for our own big party, we didn't really notice. We ordered bread to serve at the party from our local bakery and picked it up on Saturday morning and you could see a bit of the party rush there,...

Our lantern festival – Friday night

The 56th Annual Büdesheimer Laternenfest (lantern festival) officially ended yesterday. I have to say that we are both a bit sad because it was a whole lot of fun - and we were amazed at the amount of effort this little town put into the event...not to mention the...

Ayla’s Awesome Assays Vol. 7

It's a short list of searches today because, well, I got so wrapped up in writing about getting rid of a Newf that I just didn't feel like writing anything else after that. But for those who wander across this post with the intention of getting rid of your dog, please...

Ideas for Christmas 2007

Since my mom is here visiting and it's almost New Years, we decided to go down to the Rheingau with hopes of finding some good sparkling wine for the celebration. Our first stop was Kloster Eberbach which is more or less a tourist trap but the grounds are quite nice...

It’s Glühwein time…

Well, they're back. It's getting close to Christmas and the Christmas markets are everywhere. We went to our own tiny 6 hour market on December 2nd. We tried to take Ayla along but she was just too wound up and there were too many people for it to be fun. Some friends...
