I was in lucky with the motorways - no traffic jam despite many construction areas!

Sunflower nearby my first flatIn the early morning we had a thunderstorm with a heavy downpour. So later it was overcast and very sticky again. Not good for my headache, I´m having since yesterday evening... no, not because of alcohol (I drunk only water and diet coke), but infact of the stickiness I think.
Before I drove home, I visited the cemetery and the grave of my parents. Instead of flowers I left a little colorful windmill with her names and the name of my daughter. My daughter isn´t buried there, but nevertheless it is a place for me to remember and to grieve.
And that´s why I love sunflowers so much... these are the flowers my daughter got on her funeral. So I love them in remembrance of her.
CU tomorrow evening, after work - or at a later time. Because we´ll meet a good friend of us and we´ll having dinner - together. Don´t know if I´ll have time to step in between.

The new castle Fantastic weather!! Hot (sure way above 30°C), sunny and not a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately it was very very sticky in town.
I made many pictures of different childhood memories... school, ice cream shop, first flat and so on... nothing important for you, but for me and my memories.
And I had a wonderful time with my witness. She is for me, like a mother (she is over 70). She pampered me, made lunch, before I started my photo session and in the evening she invited me in a restaurant. We were chattering until 1:00 am ... girls, I´m so tired..
Sara asked me what a witness is... she was the person who attended me at my marriage ceremony. In Germany (until July 1998) 2 persons were needed to witness a marriage.

It really sounds great for a time in Stuttgart.
Certainly it is exciting to return to the place of his childhood in a long time.
Nice that you could once you relax and recuperate.

I love sunflowers too, but you have a special reason for it. I'm glad you were able to spend time with your friend!
Klingt nach einer super Zeit die Du da verbracht hast. Das freut mich sehr für Dich.
Schön, daß Deine Trauzeugin Dich so verwöhnt hat, das brauchst Du bestimmt auch mal !
Huhuuu :))
super, daß du eine so gute Zeit in Stuttgart hattest (oh ja, heiss war's die Tage, und da im "Kessel" ja noch mehr ..)
Wunderschön, die Sonnenblume .. und eine ganz besondere Bedeutung für dich .. Gut, daß du Gelegenheit hattest, das Grab aufzusuchen ..
Das Schloss - oh ja, ein vertrauter Anblick :) danke dir fürs Zeigen .. und schön, daß du einige Orte der Erinnerung im Bild festhalten konntest, und eine so nette Zeit mit deiner Trauzeugin hattest.
Braucht man heutzutage keine Trauzeugen mehr?
wir hatten (1994) auch noch zwei ..
Viele liebe Grüsse an dich :))))
