Nothing much but work it is these days, so in the evening I´m a tad tired and in the day I don´t do anything else.
Argh. Dark winter time, I don´t like it, so let me take you to happier times, to summer, to July, to Cologne, to my family.
Bro just finished studying in 2004 and we all went to Cologne to celebrate!
As you see Mum NEVER stopped talking! Not even in a family-pic. Bro is the same.
Right behind us, btw, you see the super-mega-secret station of the FBI!
I
swear! Before, 2002?, I spent two weeks with my Bro and twice
we tried to visit this place - they "sell" themselves as "chocolate museum".
It is in river Rhine and always was closed - Bro lived just around the corner, I stayed with him and each and every time... closed.
This time, years later, closed.
Years later I had a further training there.. closed.
My T years later.... it.was.closed!!!
Top secret, I tell ya!
Or have you been there, was it open, was there chocolate??? They claim to show the "Olmecs, Maya and Aztecs"... who knows what that really stands for!Kidding. 😉 Uh-oh. If I am right you likely never hear from me again...
I remember I nearly hit a deer this day, oh-boy-oh-boy! Having Mum and Ingo in the car.
But as you see I managed.
It was a wonderful day!
Just in the night from Wednesday to Thursday I had another REAL dream, btw.
I drove my car. The steering wheel was upside down and I wondered, too, who pays for the car???
I gave it/him! away 3 years ago to be a poor pool car.
Why do I dream of driving now???
Later that day in 2004 in Cologne we went to celebrate, yay, Bro made it!
Need glasses? This is your ultimate optometrist - and also if you need jewelry. Tell him your wish, he´s a goldsmith, as well and yes, I´m the big Sis and I sure am proud of this Daddy of two girls.

In the second pic I wear a necklace with a flower made by Bro and here you see Mum proudly showing off his master pieces, if you like have a look here!
Funny addendum, btw. Words by my Bro, explaining that the "old people from Egypt" believed that love runs from the left-hand ring finger straight to the heart.
Germans wear the ring on the right hand, but Ingo and I got married in Perth and hence wear it on the left!
Those were the days...
A Cuban cigar after all the stress and effort, well earned fun!
Back in the day we all hugged each other.. we would do as well now, Corinna!

I just saw the words "chocolate museum" and my heart almost stopped LOL
Bet you´d leave hungry! I have to ask a friend who´s daughter lives there, maybe she can tell if they are "open" and have "chocolate"....
Hmmm I am curious too about this chocolate museum because I love chocolate. So wonderful to have a goldsmith brother who designs jewelries. We don't have winter but after raining for whole night and morning, it is a cloudy day. Nice and cool.
And especially optometrist - he does a great job!
Yes, I hope someone tells me about that "museum"...
...I enjoy watching BBC mysteries on TV and I need to turn the sound up to heard what they are saying. Often I understand half of what they say, British and American English are two different languages.
Ingo looks a little bit like your brother. Its fun to see these photos. And the Rhine in your area compared to the Rhine that Valerie shows. Interesting too about wearing the ring on the right hand in Germany. I don't know if it really matters where you wear the ring. My hubby and I don't even wear ours any longer, but that doesn't mean we aren't dedicated to each other. Hope the week went well for you. Hugs-Erika
Tom, you made me laugh. And here I sit....

Erika, WHAT?! Ingo looking like Bro? Think you need glasses ;-)
I by now feel "naked" without the ring. It kinda worked miracles, maybe also because of how we got it and where it´s from. To a happy weekend and hugs from here!!
Chocolate museum? I must break in.
A secret chocolate museum! Interesting about wearing the ring on the right hand. I wear my ring on my left hand. Because Himself is a chemist (not a pharmacist, but chemist as in chemistry), he doesn't wear his ring because of working with chemicals.
A Star Trek reference! A good addition to any day :)
A goldsmith! I love jewellery, I just never wear any.
I love the photos and hearing the stories. Such memories. The photos of your mom are delightful. And I'm impressed with a brother who is a goldsmith!
