I'm sure that by now, you are wondering where I've been, and why there have been no new posts. I won't keep you in suspense any longer...
This photo was taken in Bonn, Germany - the home of Ludwig Von Beethoven. You can get a sense of the size of these buildings when you see how tiny we look! |
DH and I left on December 4th, and flew to Germany, to spend 12 days with our daughter, son-in-law, and Rosie, the grand-daughter-doggie!
We had a wonderful visit with them, and saw a lot of Germany while there. The architecture was certainly awe-inspiring. We saw Wiesbaden. Cologne, Bonn, Nueremberg, Rudesheim, and probably others that I can't recall this moment.
It was OH SO COLD! Thank heaven we heeded DD and DSIL's pleas to purchase warm wool socks, hiking shoes/boots, coats, scarves. hats, and gloves!
As you can see in the photo above, we resembled big fluffy snowmen! Lots of layers each day!
Hopefully, things will be back to normal next week. I've tried to keep up a bit with commenting, but it's tough when you pay for internet, and there is a time difference of several hours!
Thanks for your patience!
Have a great weekend, and I'll be back up and running next week!
Hugs,
Patti J.

Can't wait to see more pictures and for you both to feel better. Can't have a sick friend, or she won't let you go anyplace again!!! LOL
What a fabulous opportunity, but I bet you loved seeing your daughter best ;) Are you dying to play with some paper now? Hope you have a fabulous Christmas!!
Oh, I'm so excited for you! I hope you post lots of pics and travel stories. I love to hear about people's travel adventures. Germany is such a beautiful country.

What a wonderful trip! We have a daughter and SIL that live in Heidelberg, so we've been to visit many times. We spent Christmas with them a few years ago. The memories are precious. So bad you were able to make the trip, but glad your back and will be blogging more regularly, too.

wonderful Patti! So happy you got to go! Thanks for sharing a photo of you two! Merry Christmas!!!
Sound like a wonderful trip, looking forward to seeing pictures!
Glad you had a good trip. I'll bet it was cold. It's so cold here in Southern Ontario (I'm near Detroit). Can't wait to see your stuff. I actually spent the last hour turning card fronts into cards. Don't you just hate that job?
What an amazing adventure, Patti. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Germany is beautiful and my daughter has already told me that her dream is for her and I to explore Europe after she graduates high school. She's only in 4th grade so I have a while to save..lol. I hope you will post more pics. Have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, my friend.
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

I'm sure your visit was the best Christmas present you could have given to your daughter! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your pics!
Have a wonderful Christmas Patti :)
