Its Harvest Time

The best part about growing fruit trees and shrubs is of course harvesting the fruit. We don't have a garden but my bestfriend supplied us with different fruits from her Garden of Joy.

The Chocolate Museum

Here are pictures from our trip to the Lindt Chocolate Museum in Köln two days ago. The museum features information on the growing and processing of cocoa. A portion of the museum is a working factory, producing those chocolates in different sizes, truffles, and hollow molded chocolates. The process for making miniature chocolate bars is completely automated and they also give free samples.




















By the way, just wanted to share to you the picture of my favorite potato soup with hotdog tidbits. It really taste good that it becomes our favorite lunch.

The Week that Was

Its been quite some time since i last made my post here but now i'm happy to be back again in the blogosphere. The blogging dry spell over the last weeks has not been for lack of ideas and activities but because of my doctor appointments. I already accepted the fact that i'm in the getting older phase of my life and every day is a blessing. By the way here are my activities last week:

Consultation with our house doctor regarding my back pain and cramps

Eye Doctor appointment

Bonding with friends at Palazzo


Food shopping at Oratay's Thai shop where i took photos of their lunch


Attended the baby party in Elzach



By the way Dirk and family friends Edgar and Michael joined the invitational Golf tournament in Zell Hammersbach



With regards to my family back home, my two year old grandaughter Jamie loves to shop, like grandmother, like grandaughter
