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...

Making out like a bandit

Ayla got to celebrate her first Christmas this year and I have to say that she made out pretty well in my opinion. Lots of new treats, 3 new squeeky toys and the new found joy of tearing open presents herself and then shredding the wrapping paper afterwards. I never...

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...

Bread is the best!!

Who would have thought it could be so easy? Ayla is in love with bread. She just gobbles the stuff down and who are we to deny her? lolHubby bought me a bread machine for my birthday...and we finally tried it out this weekend. Just to keep things simple, we made a...

What happened here?!

Yesterday we had to visit the farm to give our contractor a new key. We had only checked one of the keys for the front gate and not the one to the front door and unfortunately the latter didn't work. This meant he hadn't been able to get inside to fix the leaking...

Meeting new family members

Ayla got to meet a whole other side of hubby's family today. Unfortunately it could have been under better circumstances since it was due to a death in the family but it was still nice to see everyone. And it was convenient for Ayla because most people were wearing...

It’s not fixed yet?!

So the contractor, Macky, was supposed to go to the house on Monday to fix the leak with the heater. But apparently the key we gave him didn't actually work and because hubber's blackberry was dead the last few days, we didn't get the message when the guy said he...

Watch out for the horses!

Yesterday evening, hubby and I took Ayla for her evening walk. She's been relatively good lately and I'm trying to trust her a bit more so I figured I would take her off leash as soon as we got to the fields behind our house and when I'd seen there were no other dogs...
