So, how’s your week going so far?
I can tell you that I’ve been fighting this nasty cold/sinus infection/virus thing for 8 long days now. Kent is sick, too (much worse than I am.) We finally cried “uncle” and went to the doctor yesterday afternoon for some antibiotics. Hopefully, the medication will knock this thing out, [...]

Filed under Easter, Holiday, Spring | 2 Comments

Frohe Ostern, which means Happy Easter!
Such a glorious time of year and so much to feel joyous about. Spring has sprung in abundance here in Sindelfingen — the forsythias are the most exuberant shade of yellow, and the daffodils and tulips are in full bloom. I even saw some grape hyacinths this morning.
