Life Updates

For the past weeks, i have some health problems that needs medical attention. I have some backpain and my ring finger hurts so much and its bended. The doctor said that i have problem with veins on my finger and the first alternative is an injection. If the injection dont works, the last resort is an operation which i dont like. I cried in pain because they used a big needle injection and my hand numbed for hours and its hard for me to drive back home. Now its getting better and hopefully the pain will not return.


While waiting for my name to be called in the doctors office, my attention was caught by the medical helicopter about to transport a patient to another hospital.


With regards to my backpain, injection is also an alternative but i choose a pain reliever instead and a 5 times massage.


In the meantime below is our temporary house

And of course, for the last weeks i also have some bonding moments with my friends and eating repeatedly my favorite kartoffel suppe, schnitzel with pommes and heisse waffle with vanilla ice cream. Every monday, we ate at our favorite chinese restaurant for lunch and two weeks ago, an early dinner at Karstadt with Lucy.

Internet Problem

We still have problem with our internet connection thats why there's no update on this blog. Next week there will be new posts on Cool Mom and My A&B lifestyle blogs.

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
