Note


Received this pretty note with an Applebee giftcard in the mail....totally unexpected and much appreciated......from Jennifer's grandmother and mother (for translating a document). Just the right pick-me-up after a hard day at the hospital.
Diese nette Karte mit Gutschein kam heute mit der Post von Jennifers Mutter und Grossmutter. ( Ich hatte ihnen eine Urkunde uebersetzt).

More new Cards

Wieder neue Karten...

Recently



at Cracker Barrel in Cape.

Letzten Sonntag waren wir wieder mal bei Cracker Barrel in Cape. Das ist ein Restaurant mit altmodischem Laden..."country store", wo man gleich die Kalorien beim Shopping verarbeiten kann. Die Oma kennt das auch.

This afternoon

Della was over today and we spent a fun afternoon downloading some programs from the internet onto her new notebook.... She is only able to get dial-up at her house...reason enough to move, right?

TGIF

Here is a little camera tossing art...actually I just hit a bump in the road as I was taking the picture.
Glad it's friday, although I'm on call tomorrow and we already have an " emergency surgery" planned for tomorrow morning.....at least I know what I'll be doing in the morning.
Talked to Julia a little while ago, she was on the way to the airport. She is on her way to Minneapolis, MN tonight to attend the wedding of one of her girlfriends tomorrow. I guess it wasn't cold enough in Chicago for her...lol..
It's very cold in Michigan too. Erik stays busy working , even on saturdays...

Gott sei Dank ist es Freitag. (TGIF) Habe allerdings morgen Bereitschaft...wir haben auch schon eine Notfall- OP geplant fuer morgen frueh um 8 h. Haha...
Die Julia fliegt heute abend nach Minneapolis zu einer Hochzeit am Samstag. Ihre Freundin Amanda heiratet. Da ist es ja bekanntlich noch kaelter als in Chicago ( dort war es schon laufend -20 C). In Michigan bei Erik ist es auch ziemlich kalt. Der Erik hat viel zu tun, deshalb geht er auch Samstags in die Kanzlei.


Man sollte beim Autofahren nicht fotografieren.....

Ducks walking on ice

Della took me on adrive today to show me her grandfather's farm and her childhood home. It was a perfect day with lots of sunshine, pretty scenery and these ducks walking across the ice.

Della und ich haben heute eine Rundfahrt in die Umgebung gemacht. Sie hat mir die Farm ihres Grossvaters und ihr Elternhaus gezeigt. Wir sind ueber 100 Meilen gefahren bei schoenstem Sonnenschein und klirrender Kaelte ( ganz so kalt war es nicht).

Mailboxes

Early this morning




on the way to work I took a few snow pictures before it melted. ( Snow is almost all gone tonight).

Hab schnell ein paar Bilder gemacht auf dem Weg zur Arbeit. Zum Glueck, denn heute nachmittag ist fast alles schon geschmolzen. Schade!
