Food For Thought
No, I didn’t eat this meal, but I want to. That was the intention of the sender. It came to me from an agency in Maine that rents cottages to vacationers. It was described as a Maine Christmas meal. Not my idea of a traditional holiday meal, but it does look like a feast. It […]
Another Christmas Market???!!!
I thought we were done. After visiting six different Advent/Christmas markets there was no reason to see any more. Saturday though we went to Freiburg, mostly because we could. Our weekends have been busy, but suddenly we had a Saturday with no previous commitments. Plus, we had a transit pass which allowed us to make […]
Merry Christmas
I don’t need to say anything more today – the picture says it all. May you have a blessed Christmas.
Christmas Penguins?
It’s Christmas Eve, also the fourth Sunday of the 2017 Advent season. As I have done the past couple of Sundays, I am featuring a nativity set today. Two of them. I thought about saving one of these for Advent 2018, but I suspect I’ll find other ones to share with you next year. They […]
The Rink
I saw the sign, and didn’t think it was that big a deal. From Nov. 26 to Dec. 27 there would be a skating rink set up on the pedestrian mall in Mullheim, the largest town in our region. It is only now that I am beginning to appreciate that it is a big event. […]
Christmas Market – Heitersheim II
A photo essay for you today. If you need commentary, that was in yesterday’s post.
Christmas Market – Heitersheim
I’m sure there are other Christmas Markets happening in the area, but we have reached the saturation point. Maybe next year. But we did make one exception, for a Sunday afternoon trip to Heitersheim. It was a sunny Sunday, and the town is a five kilometre walk; we had been told it was possibly the […]
Coffee
I have a friend who likes to get together at the local coffee shop. It is part of an international chain that seems to me to sell the experience more than the beverage. I’m not a coffee drinker, not a fan of any hot drink really, so on those occasions when I do drink I […]
Fall Colours
Technically it isn’t winter until Thursday, though we started off Monday with our first snow of the season. It didn’t last though. We had sunshine by early afternoon, and by the time I made a grocery run it was a beautiful day. I snapped some pictures on my walk home. The colours on the hills […]
Christmas Is Coming!
Hard to believe it is a week from today. With no snow on the ground here it doesn’t feel like December yet. Certainly though, there are enough decorations and holiday festivities to get me in the mood. The main square in Sulzburg was decorated with a tree a couple of weeks ago, plus a sleigh […]
