A view under the bed of my elder son (exceptionally tidy). Since a few days his haunt is under his bed. We didn´t know what he is doing there during the whole day.

Today when he had a shower I took a peek under his bed. And what did I see there... his gameboy with headphones and many games. The yellow thing is a little reading lamp. Totally inconspicuous so I couldn´t saw the light outside under the door gap.

Clever boy... instead of sleeping he is playing and we have wondered us, why he is so tired and why he had dark circles around the eyes.

A perfect shot for today ;-))



Today we had 9 degrees above zero, but it was the whole day raining.

Lasting for days rain along with the snowmelt let the rivers overflowing. This is a creek in our village. Not much longer and it happens here, too.

FRIENDS AWARD

Als ich heute von der Arbeit nach Hause gekommen bin und meine Blogrunde gedreht habe, wurde ich ganz lieb mit diesem Friends Award überrascht.


Gleich von zwei lieben Menschen habe ich ihn bekommen und zwar von Fabella und von Melly. Ich hab mich total darüber gefreut und er bedeutet mir sehr viel! Ganz ganz lieben Dank Euch Beiden!!!!

Edit: SA 17.30... habe gerade entdeckt, dass ich den Award auch von Takinu bekommen habe - da freue ich mich natürlich ganz genauso drüber, drück Dich ganz dolle und sage lieben Dank. Finds ganz klasse, dass wir beide denselben Gedanken hatten.

So .. kommen wir nun zu der Aufgabe ihn weiterzugeben. Meine Reihenfolge ist alphabetisch und soll keine Wertung sein.

1.Fabella /2.Melly sind zwei Internet-Freundschaften die mir sehr sehr viel bedeuten und die ich nicht mehr missen möchte! Mit beiden habe ich schon unheimlich viel gelacht aber beide haben auch ein offenes Ohr und man kann auch ernste Gespräche mit ihnen führen. Leider wohnen beide sehr weit weg, Fab noch weiter als Melly. Aber ich hoffe, dass wir es schaffen uns dieses Jahr persönlich kennenzulernen - Fab vllt. schon im Frühsommer.

3.Nachtamazone Sandra ist eine Internet-Freundschaft, mit der ich ein Stück schwäbische Heimat verbinde und mich immer freue, wenn ich Fotos von dort in ihren Layouts entdecke. Sie ist eine ganz liebe. Leider habe ich auch sie noch nie persönlich getroffen..... aber vllt. klappt das ja bei meinem nächsten Heimatbesuch.

Auch Sternchen und Takinu kenne ich leider noch nicht persönlich.

4.Sternchen ist ebenfalls eine Internet-Freundschaft mit der ich auch schon länger telefoniert habe und die mir immer gerne Fotos von ihrer süßen Rike für meine Layouts zur Verfügung stellt. Durch ihren Umzug und eine schlechtere Internetverbindung ist der Kontakt in den letzten Wochen leider sehr wenig geworden, was ich sehr bedaure. Ich hoffe aber, dass wir das bald wieder intensivieren können.

5.Takinu ist wohl meine längste Internet-Freundschaft. Auch mit ihr habe ich schon länger telefoniert. Aber leider konnten wir in der letzten Zeit nicht mehr soviel miteinander plaudern, was ich sehr vermisse. Auch sie wohnt sehr weit von mir weg

6. mit Tine, (wo ich sehr hoffe, dass wir uns bei einem ihrer nächsten Heimatbesuche persönlich kennenlernen können) Gabs, Floh, Kiki, Yvi und Annie möchte ich noch ein paar liebe Menschen erwähnen, die ich auch durchs bloggen oder in Foren kennengelernt habe... und auf deren Blogs ich super gerne lese und über deren Kommentare ich mich immer wieder riesig freue! Auch sie alle haben diesen Award verdient!

Danke, daß ihr mich immer wieder mit Euren lieben Kommentaren erfreut, genau wie alle anderen die ich hier nicht aufgeführt habe!!

Today my younger son went bowling with other kids from our township. It was a holiday programm offer from the community. He had so much fun. He was the best child in his group with 90 points - only the guardian was better with 95 points. Tomorrow they´ll go to a astronomical observatory.

365/56

The hysteria of my webfriends made me curious and I had borrowed this book from our library.

365/55

My picture of today is another handmade drawing from my elder son

365/54

Yeah - holidays, nothing to do - and I could sleep in until 8.00 am.! That´s so extremely rarely in our family - because my elder son is an early bird - even on the weekend he stands up at 6.00 am. at the latest.



In the afternoon we were at the cinema - the tickets are my picture of today

365/53

The picture of today is pan-fried vegetables. My younger son did this quite alone (on saturday) for breakfast - he likes to cook and to snip vegetables.

After breakfast my DH and DS´s went to the swimming bath until the afternoon.

365/52

I woke up at 5.30 am - extra early on saturday morning.... to go to work.

Afterwards I met my DH and my DS´s in town and we went out for a chinese meal. Yummy sesam chicken with sweat-sour lemon sauce.

Nothing special happened so we had a lazy saturday afternoon.

365/51

It has snowed, once again in the night! Another white morning, snowing during the whole day and a grey-grey-grey sky. Only one degrees below zero.

We were lucky enough to went tobogganing yesterday.

The picture of today shows you the swimming gear of my younger son

365/50

Hey, what a shock in the morning 12 degrees below zero - that´s not the way spring sounds!?

But later on day the sun began to shine and we were happy!! So in the afternoon we went tobogganing (what a word LOL). My younger son had so much fun - look at my todays picture. Now I have a little bit sunburn on my face - but it was a wonderful afternoon!

I love nothing more than the smile on the face of my younger son, when he is happy!

365/49

Today was a wonderful sunny winter day, with blue sky and 7 degrees below zero... but I have to stay in the office. Afterwards I´ve done the grocery shopping. And that´s my picture for today. A shopping cart full of vitamins, fruits and vegetables.

365/48

Any more snow in the morning. I can´t stand it any longer. I guess it´s time for spring. It was a very wet snow on the streets, quite mushy. The kids had to use an umbrella for their way to school because it was sleeting.

The picture for today are my dripping wet socks and shoes, after a short trip to town. The trousers were also wet. What a beastly weather.

Hope the weather is better by you!?

365/47

Another snowy night! Grey and cold in the morning! Here you see our snowbound snail in the flowerpot.

Today I had many stuff to organize, some appointments with the kids, and I had to do the grocery shopping. In the evening there was a more important meeting of our local council. Unfortunately with a bad result for the future of the kids...maybe.

As I went back home, the streets were white and snow-covered and it was still snowing.

365/46

In the morning I went to the bakery for fresh baked rolls... Yummy.... It was 6 degrees below zero.

Meanwhile my DH made breakfast (wat is extremly rare) together with my younger son. For me, my son made a cafe latte with steamed milk, quite alone. Unfortunately in my new mug I used for the picture of day 42 - so I can´t take it for todays picture

But anyhow take a look how it has looked


In the afternoon we (my two kids and I) were at a carnival-party for children from our sports club. My younger son as a cowboy and my elder son as a FBI-officer.

The picture of today is a mask, which my younger son had tinkered in school.

Early in the morning we drove to Stuttgart. It was cold about 4 degrees below zero, and it was a little bit snowing. The freeways were not cleared so it was very demanding to drive. We went to Stuttgart for a birthday party with lunch, coffee and cake. The celebration was in the restaurant of the football club "VFB Stuttgart".

I loved the black-forest-cherry-torte it was so delicious, full of "Blackforest Kirsch" yummy!

We were on the move only with our younger son, because the elder one had a swimming competition.

Before the celebration we visited the grave of my mother.

But today wasn´t my day. I was very tired and weary - I don´t know why! In the evening I broke into shivers again but I have no fever.

So, and here one other thing in german - because the words fail me in english to put into words what I feel.

Kennt Ihr das Gefühl... wenn man "nach Hause" in die Heimat fährt, sich riesig freut, weil man so lange nicht mehr da war!? Und einem dann plötzlich alles fremd und falsch vorkommt? Man einfach nicht mehr dazu gehört? Da wo ich aufgewachsen bin, gibt es einen Bäcker, der macht für meinen Geschmack die besten Brezeln der Welt.... und nicht einmal die schmeckten mehr so, wie ich sie in Erinnerung hatte.

Weiß nicht, vielleicht lags auch nur am trüben Wetter, aber irgendwie hat mich das ziemlich traurig gemacht.

365/44

My footprints in the morning.... new snowflakes alighted in the night... and we had 4 degrees below zero.



During my work in the office I was very tired and I felt worse for wear. In the evening I break into shivers and I feel very bad.

365/43

Nearly the whole day long - I sort many documents and here on the picture you see some of my folders.

In the afternoon I went to the hairdresser with my elder son, before he meets up his schoolfriend. Meanwhile I was by the doctor with my younger son.

365/42

Another morning with surprise - any more snow than yesterday... and the whole day long it snowed a little bit.

Before I went to work I enjoyed a wonderful "Cafe latte" out of my big new mug - which my DH had bought on monday - a smile to Fab who likes this one, too!!

I had to work until six in the evening and afterwards I had a crackerbarrel with the parents of the schoolfellows of my elder son. Unfortunately it was in a cafe for smokers.....

365/41

What a suprise in the morning. Winter is back - it has snowed in the night. Very wet and not much - but white - Already a thaw has set in - so I couldn´t take a useful shot. Thats why I looked around our garden and there I found these roses.

Later in the morning it begans to rain...the whole day long...what an awful weather. Now my younger son has the cough.

365/40

In the morning I went to the doctor for a control. I had to be nil by mouth - so afterwards I allowed me some freshly baked rolls from the bakery. My favourite rolls are poppy-seed rolls or whole-grain rolls. Do you smell the flavour?

Today was another grey day sometimes it was a little bit snowing, but only a few flakes. I continued my spring cleaning today with tyding up the home office. OMG how many trash accumulates.

Have a good week

365/39

The todays breakfast of my younger son. He loves shrimps, mussels and fish.

In the afternoon the sun was shining a little bit (but it was cold) so we took a walk through a park to a castle in our neighbouring town.

365/38

In the morning we went to town to the market and afterwards we celebrated the re-opening of our ice cream shop after the winter break, with the first strawberry cup of the year.


Yummy....these colourful smarties.... they are good for my nerves...because....

Tonight there is a mega party in our small village, with monster-sound on three areas with black, house and party music..... all the time -bumm-bumm-bumm-bumm- deep into the night and in the early hours. It´s horrific...if someone break my sleep I get brutalize

So I´ll try to get some minutes of sleep - bye - CU tomorrow

365/37

Early in the morning we had about zero degrees and it was raining... so it came to black ice. There were many accidents and some people with bone fractures. But we were lucky enough and safe.

During I was in the office the sun was shining and it was a wonderful spring day. But only during I was in the office.... afterwards it was grey again.....What a bother!!

My picture of today is the salt-crystal-lamp on my bedside table.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend.

365/36

Today was an ugly and grey, kind of depressing day, wet and cold not more then 2 degrees above freezing.

My spring cleaning wear on, with the childrens bathroom and another floor.

At lunchtime the electrician has come to repair the childrens sockets and a light switch (dimmer). So this is my picture of today.

I bought these six mugs and six plates as a birthday present for my DH.

Today was my first day at work after a 3 weeks illness. My colleagues were happy that I`m back again. Unfortunately my time card was vanished (anywhere at home, maybe by my spring cleaning LOL) so it wasn´t easy to come in the company. At friday I´ll get a new one.

365/34

My picture of today shows a dirt-eraser (new and clean LOL)! I use it constantly for my spring cleaning.It´s an incredible thing and easy to use. It removes all dirt, persistent dirt in the baking oven and even permanent marker on the mirror.

Today I finished the corridor and the vestibule.



It was a wonderful warm (9 degrees above freezing) and sunny day, today - almost like spring!! You feel obviously better on those days.

365/33

This shot I took in the morning at 8.30 isn´t it an exceptional view in the sky?? Fantastic clouds in my opinion.

Today I was very busy and hardworking on my spring cleaning. Now the bathroom is ready and also the half from the kitchen. I´m proud of me!! Yeah!!

365/32

It´s not a great shot - I know, but I had to take the shot as quickly as possible - because the eggs were almost ready and my camera was not nearby the kitchen.


My younger son loves to help, to clean, to iron - it´s almost a dream - but he is like that!! Preverably he loves to cook. On this sunday morning he was cooking scrambled eggs with shrimps.

We took lunch in a country inn before my husband had to go to a workshop until tuesday. In the afternoon I began with spring cleaning in my bedroom, while my younger son was playing with Playmobil and my elder son was drawing and writing a little book. Maybe I´ll take a shot therefrom when it´ll be ready.
