We got out and about last Sunday morning, excited to be going to Sunflower Garden Center to find some further inspiration for our garden and courtyard. The weather was beautiful and on our way there, we made a pit stop at the nearest fast food place - McDonald's. You...
Archives? Who needs those?
When something notable happens here in Germany, I try to make few comments on it. This time around, I'm not really sure what to think. A building in Cologne containing the city's historical archives collapsed yesterday. It contained 65,000 original documents dating...
No meal planners in Germany?
It was that time of the month again. Lots of meat frozen in the trunk freezer but nothing in the fridge to put a meal together with. It's still going to be a little while until we can eat anything from our own garden so I had to make a trip to Lidl. It's a discount...
German fast food
The man who invented the döner kebab died this week. Sad news indeed. But as an almost tribute to him, we found out our little village is finally going to have a döner stand of its own. We went out today to grab a cable for our new phone system (which we still haven't...
Getting things corrected
I had to be up bright and early this morning so Mack and I could go to the US embassy. After we got the passport and birth certificate in the mail with the wrong birth date (my mistake, not theirs), I had to figure out what we needed to do to correct it. One can...
A bit of Bayern
As I've mentioned, we were down in Bavaria this past weekend visiting Stefan's parents. This is their house, rather typical for the area. I just love these houses with all the wood trim - they just look so classic. Naturally, we couldn't let the time go by without...
It wasn’t jumping when it got to me
While we were in Bavaria this weekend, we went to a nice little restaurant called Schlossgasthof zur Einkehr [(Haggn 26, 94362 Neukirchen, Tel: (09961) 701170)]. It's a place the in-laws have been to several times and they always enjoyed it so we went to check it out....
A change of scenery
We're off to Stefan's parents tomorrow. My mom hasn't been down to Bavaria while she's visited so she'll get to see something different...and some more of the family living in the area will get to meet Mack for the first time. There might be a bit more snow for Ayla...
Looks a bit American…
So my MIL & FIL were standing outside our house the other day and an older lady was walking by. She stopped to chat and mentioned that the decorations on the house looked really nice, "although they are a bit American. Not that that is a bad thing." We got a good...
Not exactly the Ritz
I haven't mentioned much about what things were like those four days while I was in the hospital; but mistake my lack of words up until this point as a sign that things weren't. It was rather the opposite. Because I'm an expat and I am still not 100% fluent in...
