Re-Discovery!

When I told my son this morning that the computer had a „day off“ today, I thought that I was heading for a BIG „discussion“ !

And then when I heard that my son went to the telephone to call his very cool „almost teen“ friends, I though he might be trying to find a house where the computer didn’t have a „day-off“. But then the doorbell rang and his friends came in and marched up to his very cool teenage room and closed the door.  Within seconds I heard a crash and went upstairs to see what had happened.

My almost-teenager and his all-to-cool friends had had a nostalgic moment!

And this is what I found…

Hooray for LEGO!

Lego kisteI am sooo glad that during the „I’m too big for that – clean-up“, that this „Chest of Miracles“ just got shoved in a corner and did not wander into the attic like the rest of his childhood favorites. I saw to it that his wooden trains also stayed in his room in a box. Hmmmm, ?  But that would be too much to hope for, I suppose!

SMILE! 😀

Marillen-Senf-Chutney!

15 Kilo Marillen später…(15 kilos of yellow plums later…)

marillen-senf 1 marillen-senf 2 marillen-senf 310 Kilo Marillen wurden verarbeitet in Chutney, Kompot, Kuchen und 5 Kilo haben wir gewaschen, enkernt und eingefroren. Erstmal kann ich keinen Marillen mehr sehen!

(We made 10 kilos of yellow plums into chutneys, compote, pies and 5 kilos were washed, pitted and frozen. At this point I can’t look at another yellow plum!)

Gute Nacht! 😀 (Nighty-night!)

Today I was inspired by  Doris Kroh’s blog article with a cute owl treat bag!  So I decided to give it a try myself with my own twist, of course! 😀 ! Thanks, Doris!
