Bring It On



What´s the saying, there isn´t wrong weather, just wrong clothes, right.
So yesterday I made another tour to Lake Ölper.

Even though, eek, there was a hint of to what (hopefully not) is to come:



On the way to it was quite some traffic, families, with elderlies, maybe there is a cemetary nearby or they were on the way to the little church to think of the ones we had to leave behind, after all it was Totensonntag.

I prefered to take a little break here:



Later Bro called, they´d been to our parent´s grave, tidied up, brought winter-plants and a candle.
That´s always stuck to the ones who live near...

That is also why I put in my last will my urn will go to an unknown spot.

Next weekend, finally, I may visit - still in time for Niece´s Advent-calendar.

Ewww. And.
Bro won.
He´ll measure my eyes again and order progressive-addition lenses. Bu-huu.
If I really can´t cope, he can send them back for free.
I better hope that is the truth and was not just a trick to get me into this!

Bu-huuu cause a) I´ve heard from different people how difficult it is in the beginning and esp b) ... my green glasses! Too small for lenses like that!

Let´s see, right?

If Niece wants to say hi to me on the phone, Bro asked? "Nope."
Ok... ;-)
Last time we saw each other was her birthday - guess I´m rather a stranger, kinda.

Well. I look forward to meet them again.
I am not to judge, what do I know about life with two little kids, right?

Don't feel bad Iris, little kids don't always want to talk to adults.
Good luck with the glasses. I wore progressive lenses a few years ago, I had no problem, but I really didn't think I needed them, as I only need to wear glasses to drive or watch tv, so it was pointless to have them on when reading...

Yes, I know, she´s only 5 years old...
Well, I´m getting old - I have to take off my glasses when I want to read. Really annoying!
The one in the grocery-store with the glasses on the forehead, reading a description... me!

Wow! It was cold here, but not THAT cold. Thank goodness!

Yes, too early for that! Way too early! Hopefully just a quick hello!
