Saturday 28.08.2010 Day 240

Grapes (picture 2508)

Sleeping until 8.00 am, grey and rainy day.

We made a little shopping tour, our elder son´s quite grown and needed new jeans.

For lunch we had lamb stew with green beans.

The first week of my holidays and four weeks of school holidays are almost over... and we had almost only rain.

Too bad for my sons and me.




Friday 27.08.2010 Day 239

Angry clouds

Our car needed an oil change so we brought it to the garage.

I had an appointment with my physiotherapist.

Afterwards we had pizza for lunch at J*oey´s.

Another rainy day!




Thursday 26.08.2010 Day 238

Working together

Sleeping until almost 9.00 am

My husband and my elder son constructed a fly screen window and a screen door.

A little bit gardening in the afternoon and then BBQ.

We had rain, again and again.




Wednesday 25.08.2010 Day 237

Mowing the lawn

Today we had even a little bit sun.

My husband and my elder son used the chance for mowing the lawn.

In the evening I was informed that the teacher of my younger son leaves us. This in the critical months prior to the transfer to secondary school. It's absolutely sickening and I feel like crying. 3 weeks before the beginning of the school year no new teacher in sight. I´m speechlees and in despair... that´ll go wrong I know it!!

Why is it always him?

Hope God´s plan for him is good and everything will turn out well.




Tuesday 24.08.2010 Day 236

Lilac (picture 2508)

Brought my younger son to his grandparents (until Sunday)

Then I went to the doctor for a chiropractic treatment at my neck and my thoracic spine and also a injection. It hurts again since maybe 2 or 3 weeks.

365/236 + 365/237

Hi girls! I´m back from Stuttgart and I had a wonderful time there!!! Sure, not good for Weight Watchers (LOL) but for my soul.

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



Tuesday 25.08.2009 Day 237

Sunflower nearby my first flat

In 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.



Monday 24.08.2009 Day 236

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.
