Vacation

We had a great time on our trip to East Frisia, it was a very relaxing vacation :)

Talking about vacation, I know the summer season is almost over, but I would like to introduce to you this campaign below, in which we take part (we sent pictures from around our home town and from Armenia). I think it is a very nice thing which a father is doing for his murdered son and it is also a campaign to condemn terrorism which kills so many innocent people each year:

Back!

Just a short note that I'm back ;)

Just One More Week...

... until our vacation starts :) We will travel up north to join my father and "little" brother Stefan in a trip with the rv to the north sea area of Germany. I'm very much looking forward to it!

I hope that when I return I will also have some more energy for blogging again. During the entire summer season I have felt lazy and uncreative. Usually this is not the case, but this year the summer was extremely "tropical" in our area and I am not tropicalized at all! This is why I do not travel to countries with such a climate, but if the tropical weather comes to us I cannot do anything to prevent being exposed to it :(

The Isle of Mainau in 18 Minutes

This is approximately the time the slide show takes which I have put online. So if you are in the mood for a short virtual vacation, you are welcome :) Of course a real life visit on this beautiful "flower island" in Lake Constance is much more worth it, but not everyone can get there.

Another Thing Which Shouldn't Be...

Found on Cody’s and Maria’s blog:

Hermann's Cake

Hermann made a cake today with redcurrants from our garden (we have lots of them this year). It was so complicated that I was glad I only had to do the washing up – which was a lot of work but at least not complicated ;) Even though he claimed it was the first cake he had made all by himself it was sooo delicious :d

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you who posted birthday wishes :)

Birthday!

I received this lovely gift from my dear friend Annette - thank you :)))

Tomorrow is my 43rd birthday. However, I must say that I don't feel like over 40 at all - I think I'm really just about 25, that's what I feel like ;)

Extreme Shepherding in Wales

I found this on Sayori's blog and just had to show you :)

Family Visit

My brother Klaus and his family will visit us from Sunday for one week. I’m so much looking forward to it, especially seeing my nephew Simon (3.5 years old) and niece Amelie (9 months old). The last time we saw them was by the beginning of this year and Amelie was still a little baby then – and children change so fast at this age! Fortunately it is not that extreme any more with Simon. Almost one year ago he already did a great job as flower boy on our wedding:


Anyway, if you do not see much of me here during next week you will know why :)
