Stefan and I were out walking the dog yesterday evening and one of the locals from town rode up on his bicycle behind us. The two of us were talking and didn't hear him come up behind us...and we were walking side-by-side with the dog taking up the rest of the small...
Internet complications
After reading our Back from the weekend post, you may be wondering why I didn't post all this info on Sunday. I actually would have loved to do that except our Internet was dead. We've been having problems off and on lately and were getting dropped during the...
Going to see the grandparents
I mentioned this before but we will be going out of town for a few days tomorrow. We're going to visit Stefan's parents and celebrate his birthday as well as his father's (and my mom's birthday is also this weekend!) Ayla will be spending her most of tomorrow evening...
The shopping is complete
As I mentioned in my post yesterday, we have a lot planned for this weekend. This morning we left the house at about 8:30am so we could start the shopping. We managed to get almost everything we needed from the local home improvement store, excluding the pots we need...
What’s with the weather?
The weather in Frankfurt is notoriously bad. The winters aren't harsh but they are filled with many, many rainy days where the sky remains gray for what seems like months at a time and you just hope and pray for the day when spring and summer finally arrive. This...
Back to life
We didn't get anything done around the house this weekend because we weren't here. But thankfully it will be a short week here as Thursday is a holiday here in Germany...and Stefan has taken Friday off just because he can. 🙂 We thought we would be having his ten year...
Roofers in costume
I hope you guys can see the guy standing on the scaffolding in this picture. In case you think he's lost or this was Halloween or something, this is actually what master roofers wear here in Germany. Our neighbors across the street started redoing their roof last week...
The new Ikea (…and an even nicer Hornbach)
This morning we headed out to Ikea to redeem our gift certificate. A new one has opened close to us a few days ago and we wanted to check it out. First off, I have to say that I hate the wording Ikea uses in its letters. The certificate stated "use this at your Ikea",...
The trash saga continues
I think I mentioned in a previous post that the trash collection situation here in Germany is a bit crazy and requires that we have 4 different garbage cans (paper, biodegradable waste, garden cuttings and regular trash) along with the yellow sacks for plastic &...
Meeting some of the neighbors
Although we've been sick the past few days, we still continued to force ourselves to go on walks twice a day with Ayla. Sometimes the 20-minute walk in the fresh air seemed to help us, and other times it was a struggle to get back home but we didn't want Ayla to...
