Climbed a mountain, 1921 meters. We were afraid of the weather and getting stuck so we turned back and didn't get to the 1938 Gipfel. Proud of us none the less.
Moin. Good morning. Yes, we did bring desk calendar along on vacation. ☺️ Today's Aussage would have been better for the first day of school. Time to try to get in a short hike before the rain shows up.
We made it to Mühlbach am Hochkönig. This is our third trip here, but our first time back in four years. No rain so far!
Moin. Good morning. It's time to move on to our next destination. Unfortunately we only have outdoor activities planned... Bye, bye Würzburg. You are lovely.
Moin. Good morning. Time to get our tourist vibes on. It's going to be a hot one. Stay cool everyone!
Moin. Good evening from our first stop on our summer trip down south. A few people here should recognize the spot. 😉
Moin. Good morning. So I hear a Senate seat in South Carolina may be more competitive than previously thought... (sips coffee slowly while smiling)
Moin. Good morning. Today's desk calendar makes each of us think of something different. My husband said iPads and ChatGPT in education. I said the US attacks on Iran.
Moin. Good afternoon. We had to get up early to go to Cloppenburg to get the car fixed. When I got married in 2004 and moved to Germany permanently, we lived in CLP for 2.5 years. Instead of desk calendar, I found this missive. Might hang it above my desk.
Moin. Good afternoon. I feel like Desk Calendar needs a good, long vacation. We don't have much planned, and hope to go hiking in Austria next week.
Moin. Good morning. I have no idea who Desk Calendar is referring to... do you? My mug might have an idea...
Moin. Good evening. Celebrating 250 years of USA. 4th of July is what you make of it.
Moin. Good morning. I slept in today which was nice. Body clock slowly entering vacation mode. Desk calendar needs to stop stressing me out!
Moin. Good morning. No, not today desk calendar. It's the last day of school in Niedersachsen and the beginning of summer vacation. It's a good day.
Do you think Klopp would ever be the coach for the German national team?
Moin. Good morning. Well... The World Cup took a little turn last night. Let's be honest, we knew this team was not going to go all the way. My 14 year old predicts a France Morocco quarterfinal. Anyway off to my last day at school.
Moin. Good evening. Christopher's list of final performances and ceremonies continues tonight with a concert at the Bremen Glock with the youth symphony orchestra.
And now he is an amazing young man, who I got to share a dance with. They really do grow up too fast. ❤️ fin /8
Moin. Good morning. The heat has broken a little and I can enjoy a coffee on the patio. We finished up the Abitur festivities with the AbiBall last night. My dad thought it was a hoot and loved that the families were involved. As I danced with my son I got a bit emotional thinking of his journey. /1
Moin. Good afternoon. Sure, prom (AbiBall) in 100 degree weather. Why not? Philip's soccer camp? No problem. Dear Germany, AC is not the enemy!
Moin. Good afternoon. Off to graduation... on the hottest day of the year. We don't care. We have cake.
Finished the day at the Greek place around the corner. A practically perfect day. ❤️
Braved the heat to take the big guy to get an ice cream. "That's the stuff!" He exclaimed.
Moin. Good morning. Dad is still sleeping. Matthias and Philip are at school. Christopher has his AbiStreich. I get to enjoy a glass of cold brew tea in the garden before the heat sets in. Have a wonderful everyone.
Moin. Good morning. TGIF. My goodness the school is almost over. Turned in my grades and had our Zeugniskonferenz this week. Almost there every one!
