The Grasshopper
I went to a flower show. Not the sort of thing I normally do. I took lots of pictures to share here. But somehow, in the 18 months since attending the event, I haven’t gotten around to those posts. Maybe I’ll make a New Year’s resolution to post only from my unfinished file for January. Does […]
Toiling In Anonymity
I first posted this in November 2020 and thought it was worth revisiting. One of the delights about visiting someplace new is learning bits of local history, things you don’t read in history books. I, for example, had never heard of Saint Arbogast. Had you? Walking through Dottingen one afternoon, I visited St. Arbogast’s Chapel […]
Definitely Not Disney
Today’s intended post seemed a little heavy for a Sunday, so I thought I’d repost this from 2017 instead I’m not a big fan of theme parks. Never have been. I’ve never traveled to the various Disney or Universal Studios offerings in Florida. I’m told they are a great experience, but they aren’t the experience […]
The Festival
As the fall season is well underway, I find myself missing some of the things I experienced in the four years I lived in Germany, 2017-21. There were so many activities that were new to me, like the Harvest festival in teh little town of Ihringen, which took place a couple of weeks after we […]
The Church of St. John
A few years ago Sundays here featured a different church each week, one that I had visited on overseas travels. I’m not sure why I stopped, and today sems like a good day to share some photos that I had forgotten about. The Church of St. John, Johanneskirche, is a Roman Catholic church just outside […]
Not Taking Off
My wife’s aunt, he family matriarch, turns 100 on Saturday. Naturally there will be a party, though, given her age, not a large one. My wife will be there. She’s been traveling for business and was able to arrange a stopover. Some other family members will be there too. I had thought of going too, […]
Missed Opportunity
I always meant to go back again. I didn’t get a chance to examine the decor. And the food was good, if a little pricey. Now I discover the place closed six months after I was there. The Fliegerhorst Restaurant was located on an old air base, now an industrial park, in Eschbach in southern […]
Stumbling Stones Again
If you look closely, you can see two metal plaques placed among the cobblestones, memorials to two people who used to live at this location. They are a common sight in German cities. So common they are easy to ignore. The weather was a little frosty Sunday, but that didn’t stop us taking a walk […]
More From That Walk
We continue our walk in the woods from yesterday. Given that it is Sunday, I thought we’d go with photos today and not much commentary from me. If you click on the images you can see the larger version.
A Walk In The Woods
Our neighbors wanted to show us a nice forest walk. What better way to spend a sunny Fall Saturday? I meant to share these photos when they were taken, almost five years ago. I can’t remember what stopped me. Now I’m looking at them and wondering “just where was that?” I know it’s the state […]
