Sunday Afternoon

Today I made use of the fabulous sunshine and started the cleaning the lawn furniture etc. There is still a lot of work to be done before I can open the pool.
In the meantime, I'm taking a break with a cup opf coffee and cranberry muffin and a good book.

Heute Nachmittag Kaffeepause auf der Terasse. Allerdings wartet noch viel Arbeit, bis der Pool geoeffnet werden kann.

Short and Gray?

Got another haircut.....nothing noteworthy there.....
except for the candid comments from friends....
" It's short" and " Are you wearing gray now?"

Hab mir die Haare wieder schneiden lassen...das ist ja nichts besonderes..
allerdings geben die Kommentare von Freunden zu denken...
"Sehr kurz" und " Traegst du jetzt grau ?"

Belated Birthday Card

from Erik....
very funny, I wonder where he found it...
I only did it once...
as I was taking Erik to pre-school and wanted to remove a little spot from his cheek....
poor little Erik got sick and had to throw up after his mom washed his face with a little spit....
child abuse...

Our Tale of Woe

This morning ....Table Rock Lake. It rained incessantly ...we were unable to get out of the car and hike one of the nature trails around the lake as we had planned.
Our lunch at Olive Garden was very good and provided a welcome reprieve from the damp and cold weather. The joys of italian food...

Enjoying our lunch

before heading out again into the inclement weather.

Braving the weather

we managed to get in some shopping at the Landing ....
