I Think Today Is Thursday
The trip back to Germany was uneventful, much better than the 42-hour marathon we took getting to Canada six weeks ago. Now comes the adjustment again to language and culture, which will take much more than the adjustment to this time zone. It was so nice to be in the same time zone as the […]
White Pumpkins?
Pumpkins are orange. Always have been, and I thought they always would be. Imagine my surprise to discover that in my year away from Canada there have apparently been some new varieties of pumpkins cultivated. Multi-hued ones caught my eye, but the ones that really stood out are the solid white ones. As a traditionalist […]
Meet The New Cat
My mother had a birthday recently, and my siblings and I pooled our resources and got her a new cat. I think it was a surprise, even though my cousins had given her sister a cat for her birthday a couple of months back. Both women are living in seniors’ residences, which have a no […]
St. Peter in the Black Forest II
Following up on yesterday’s post, more pictures from the church.

I had my phone with me, but didn’t take any pictures, figuring I have been here so many times before there was no reason to add to the photo collection. Instead I am re-posting something […]
They Called Again!
I guess my not being in the country for a year has lulled telemarketers into a sense of complacency. When I was working yesterday afternoon the phone rang. It was a very poor connection from wherever in India the young man was calling, and I really didn’t hear what he was calling about. But I […]
Makes Sense to Me
It has been one of those weeks. Where work has intruded on the time I might have used to edit today’s post. Actually, I looked last night at half a dozen almost completed pieces and said to myself “they can wait.” Saturday can be just as busy as a weekday – I hope this picture […]
Friday Pun
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one.
