Hey there, dear cz :-) I spent the past 3 weeks with hardly any internet - took a vacation with the kids, while major remodeling and the building of a clay oven were going on here in the house ;-) We were surrounded by pretty much the faces you are writing about and I could hear myself while reading your lines... happiness is a choice we are taking. Big smile goes out to you and your loved ones - now that the light is growing and grounddog's day has passed I guess you are soon travelling back up north? A sunny cheers to you from the Seven Mountains in Germany!
Good to hear from you. I was wondering where you went. I check your blog from time to time but couldn't find anything in English and I can't read German so I haven't been able to comment. I haven't been posting much either. It is a bit of a relief, actually.
Don't know when I'll be heading back up north. I have a grand daughter down south and my other 3 grand kids are teenagers so I may hang out here for awhile longer. I might even go live in Mexico for awhile. Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Keep in touch.
