Protector Of The Dead With Little Niece

Weeee… am I glad I wanted to leave the city, look at the other side, that´s no stop and go anymore, that´s what we call “Stau”, a true traffic jam!

No one was injured there, that seems to be the normal situation for the 9-5-jobbers these days with all the construction-sites around :-(
Also on the way to Bro, you can see the landscape changes (and the ever-lasting construction-site):

We finally sorted out our Mum´s bank- and insurance-stuff, oh, do I hate paperwork.
And I with him being an optometrist, I had him look after my eyes. Turned out the dang eye-flu has left some damage on my right eye.
Good thing: I get another pair of very cool glasses from Bro :-)
But, aw. I didn´t just think my sight isn´t as good anymore. I know, things could be worse. Disinfectant really is my friend now!

After the yummiest Döner (well 3/4 of it!) – sorry for the blurry pic:

… we went to pick up Niece and went to visit Omi and Opi nearby:

I finally was able to put the little stones on the grave, for Dad “When time ends, eternity begins” and for Mum “You went away from our lives, but you stay in our hearts”.

Does this make me to a “protector of the dead”?

No, but this little helper doesn´t call me “Isa” anymore but Isis. She must have difficulties with that “r” after an “I”- just like her Daddy with the “n” after a “k” – which he still doesn´t manage properly. Do I have to get used to be called Isis? Oh, my!

We haven´t seen each other for quite a while and at first Niece wasn´t sure about me. But after our visit at Omi and Opi she asked me if I would carry her on my shoulders.
Bro said, she smiled happily, but instead of really grabbing my head for support, as she does with Daddy´s, she let her little hands hover upon my head, funny girl, she needs her time, just like me…

Off to the supermarket we went:

Isn´t that hat just too dang cute?

Here at the “PC” with an older kid.

Back at her home she astonished me a lot with the question where Ingo is? Well, he had to work, she understood that.
I finally also brought Niece the pink suitcase filled with some goodies. She loves books and since potty-training isn´t running that well, I got the book, “family Meyer is looking for a loo”.
The first windows you find in the scenes to open showed toilets. They were ok unless Niece opened one where a person was doing what you do on a loo – “oh no! Close the door, quick!”, she cried and didn´t want to open any more doors, but was still interested in the scenes.
Then she found a window in a bush, she opened it and… you guess it? A girl was… Niece had enough of that stupid book, then!
I got some pens with also stamp – she loved that! And a toilet bag she wanted to fill like right now.

And the cute drinking-bottle:

The one Ingo bought her, I let her know. Niece: “why???”
Niece, you are some funny kid for sure! :-)
Odd enough she kept asking if I´m gonna take it all with me when I leave – who does anything like that?!

"Thanks" to the still bad weather we played in her room.
Here she at first wanted to read a book to her cow:

But then decided to go for some action!

Because this is what the cow is there for:

Wished we could see each other more often.

Bro wants to come over soon to visit our zoo, SIL didn´t look so pleased, so, let´s see…

Of course I also brought a Ten Without Ham:
(one quarter for brekkie, one for lunch ("a half" at work, cold), the other half, hot, for dinner :-)..)

It´s cold, that´s why it doesn´t look yummy.
Funny thing was: I said to Bro, "Gotta call Nico for a Ten Without Ham, 2609, right?"

(He didn´t know but) It was right, I tried the phone just like that. Usually I have to look it up. It´s back, 2609, "a Ten Without Ham, please, can get cold, it goes to Braunschweig :-)" - and they know, smile proudly at me when I fetch it, we make some small-talk. If you ever get to Seesen, check out Da Nico.
If you want it hot, just not mention Braunschweig, but say Hi from me, will ya?

Dunno. Went away as soon as I could back then, aged 17, but culinary I´m kinda formed by my home-town, huh?
