We are taking full advantage of all the places within a 3 hour radius of us. It is amazing that in 3 hours we can be in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We saw the bulbs and we went to the famous Kukenhof Gardens. </div><div style="text-align: center;">A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyMMDcPTbwfpSYT8Upc9DzVNrmE4R03l16cP1AnGjz_cbxB9xwXdR5ICPyFGA-PbN7-UvALvUhaj-C_uEFZOmA-eJ-fVEgcxijFtJ49ReJLe3nIF0-i8fY5Wu41qWhjO7t_9E/s1600/Amsterdam+Holland+685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyMMDcPTbwfpSYT8Upc9DzVNrmE4R03l16cP1AnGjz_cbxB9xwXdR5ICPyFGA-PbN7-UvALvUhaj-C_uEFZOmA-eJ-fVEgcxijFtJ49ReJLe3nIF0-i8fY5Wu41qWhjO7t_9E/s320/Amsterdam+Holland+685.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Amsterdam was lovely. It was such a warm and inviting place to visit. I would highly recommend traveling when the bulbs are in season if you have the opportunity.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">In May we went to the Alsace region of France. We have met a wonderful couple here that lived there for a few years. So they were our personal guides to the countryside. We saw many things and places while we were there. We saw many of the beautiful towns, a castle, and we went to a wine tasting. Dave and I are convinced that they do not ship any of the best wines to the states. My answer to all of the 18 wines except for 2 were, "that is really good, that is <em>really</em> good, oh man that is so good."</div><div style="text-align: center;">We went with several families on this trip. We had a lot of fun and would love to go again. So if you come over for a visit....we will take you there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2Fa-_-CF5FYQZg8tmYZlgHS-hnJ9_hsD-ee4vQ5ajmA-Aecx0Gy_Yasw8Ix3fUN8vOd8FqHC3HgglCNRQnl9DmQKrMkMoNmlCI_JPcGnzulpg58NS_ablV87H7QTYGnj1IKh/s1600/June+289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2Fa-_-CF5FYQZg8tmYZlgHS-hnJ9_hsD-ee4vQ5ajmA-Aecx0Gy_Yasw8Ix3fUN8vOd8FqHC3HgglCNRQnl9DmQKrMkMoNmlCI_JPcGnzulpg58NS_ablV87H7QTYGnj1IKh/s320/June+289.JPG" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In June we went to Austria to hike the Alps. We stayed at lovely hotel that was an all inclusive package. We have a trip planned in July to go to Greece on a cruise. While at the hotel the kids loved the food and the all you can eat part of it. We told them that this place would like the period on the end of the sentence compared to the cruise. Their eyes got really big and said they could not wait to go on the cruise...me too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then just for fun, I started an intense German class on May 15 that goes until June 30. It is from 9am-1pm Monday thru Friday. Its killin' me..... I had very high expectations of this class that I would be able to speak a little German when I was done....um not going to happen. I think I could take a course similiar to this every day for 6 months and I would still not be fluent.<br />
<br />
<em>My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English in 30 hours, French in 30 days, and German in 30 years. It seems manifest then, that the latter tongue ought to be trimmed down and repaired. If it is to remain as it is, it ought to be gently and reverently set aside among the dead languages, for only the dead have time to learn it.</em><br />

<br />
In Germany from late November until just before Christmas they have Christmas Markets in a lot of the cities. In Germany they are called Wiehnnachtsmarkt. I believe this translates into Holy Night Market. On a side note: In Germany Christmas is really celebrated on the evening of the 24th. The Weinnachtsman (Santa) comes and delivers gifts, and tells the children what they should do better on the following year (clean room, no fighting with siblings, etc) on the 24th. Everyone opens their gifts on the evening of the 24th.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We visited four of them before Christmas: Stuttgart, Mainz,Frankfurt, and Esslingen, The one in Esslingen was partially shutdown as we went on the 23rd, but we will count it anyway. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This is a picture of a department store window in Stuttgart that had a very impressive display of Legos in a Christmas theme.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYGoxX0WQH_9JW3_9ktakB2E9ua0JLrjaP2S1df1o5kPHdgfa9x8-Vhyq2cUxPxH9cnihKwAEBjRZsgKgZ3mK3tppkeExzp7wNqr10-RiZdvlUPik0ytzMAsikvAo0gb7em3u/s1600/Germany+week+1+015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYGoxX0WQH_9JW3_9ktakB2E9ua0JLrjaP2S1df1o5kPHdgfa9x8-Vhyq2cUxPxH9cnihKwAEBjRZsgKgZ3mK3tppkeExzp7wNqr10-RiZdvlUPik0ytzMAsikvAo0gb7em3u/s320/Germany+week+1+015.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>At the Markets they serve a beverage called Gluwein. This picture is from Stuttgart. It is usually red wine that has had spices and sometimes rum added to it. It is then heated to the temperature of molten lava and served in a coffee cup. When you order one you pay for the the Gluwein (about 2 to 3 Euros) and the mug(a deposit/pfand of 2 to 3 euros). If you decide not to keep the mug/glass, then you turn it back in and get your money back. This is a deceptively powerful drink, about two of these is all you need. Anymore than that and you might sleep through Christmas. <br />

At the markets they have lots of booths set up where you can buy all kinds of stuff. Usually Christmas related, toys, candy, cookies.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5KeYMpyvFbbDNcz7cygWlElQldgfDwjYSX-8kYGyrDB9JCG_pDvG2L6lvrLg9B0Sd2vvToLVFRSNRmOF_cDa1PjPDAhEsbvlxkkdNVV6S_6JD7Qdlu39QdDEpvFfwZA96Vn5/s1600/Germany+week+1+028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5KeYMpyvFbbDNcz7cygWlElQldgfDwjYSX-8kYGyrDB9JCG_pDvG2L6lvrLg9B0Sd2vvToLVFRSNRmOF_cDa1PjPDAhEsbvlxkkdNVV6S_6JD7Qdlu39QdDEpvFfwZA96Vn5/s320/Germany+week+1+028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> At Stuttgart they have set up a large area where they have toy trains, and running through it is a steam train that the kids could ride. It was really cool!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In Stuttgart Cindy got a treat called a Kartoffel Puffer mit Apfel Muss.

Cindy and I will be posting as often as possible to document our daily life here in Germany with an emphasis on the unique differences between Germany and the US. I find these differences very interesting as it gives me an some insight into why and how our cultures are different. <br />
<br />
We arrived last Friday, December 17th, (the 107th anniversary of controlled powered flight, thank you Orville and Wilbur Wright) and came to Stuttgart to pick up keys to our flat. It is in Sonnenberg a suburb just south of Stuttgart. It is about 1150 sq ft. with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It is in a building with about 6 other flats. About 4 floors, and a "tief garage" a garage in the basement. See pictures below. It is currently a little septic without any personal nick nacks and such but our shipment of stuff will not arrive until next week.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some interesting observation about the flat. If you notice in a lot of the picture we have just a light bulb hanging from the ceiling. When you rent a flat in Germany you have to provide all your own lighting and usually the kitchen (we were lucky as the landlord provided the kitchen). So, when you leave, you take everything with you incuding the lighting. So, all of the ceiling fixtures have been removed and we are left with "interogation bulbs" in each room. Its as if the police could come in at any minute to question a suspect in any of our rooms. On the good side it seems that no one in the family can tell a lie when these lights are on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another thing that is really interesting are the blinds and curtain tracks on the windows. The blinds are on the outside of the window, but controlled from the inside. They are very nice I wish I had them on my house in the US. Also, the there is a cutrain track on the ceiling for each of the windows. This is something that must be unique to German/EU. See below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOdLXWEMLyz4bW6VPUZynh6O_e9zrwxcGlunL5YNjzE-5aoH9TtVDxvs0Ulks8k2NcUXmF4J1_yL_k3I6nf4EdoqcuYaD6LCZ59LDLgZyfF-Z6HqpAu3Wa6wguRU7oEhzpXbWO/s1600/Germany+week+1+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOdLXWEMLyz4bW6VPUZynh6O_e9zrwxcGlunL5YNjzE-5aoH9TtVDxvs0Ulks8k2NcUXmF4J1_yL_k3I6nf4EdoqcuYaD6LCZ59LDLgZyfF-Z6HqpAu3Wa6wguRU7oEhzpXbWO/s320/Germany+week+1+002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fully closed.

I am having an organizer come to my house to organize my work area. I think I might be able to get 80 bags done in 30 days if my area was organized. Hopefully I will have "after" photos to show you (of the bags and the work area). I will not bore/scare you with the "before" until I have the "after". And if it works out well, I will share her info with you so you can get your place organized too if you live around here.<br /><div></div></div><br /></div>cindygerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17174645926035943427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042750.post-69511254776848898732009-11-11T13:28:00.007-05:002009-12-15T13:23:01.704-05:004 New Bags4 New Bags....hopefull 4 more today.....<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402915511910169874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrDoKA8QWBNCvAnOOsie53fkxsxmZyjVszEKNV55wCFlT0i2GW7l8TJttsF3XattaImjYcxa46ljZwt0SvSv1un2jQwTu728_wab-3iBOlN4KS_4pytEZRcjdiDifIFBYdUA0/s400/November+bags+016.JPG" /><br /><div align="center">Black with Cashmere Flowers $135</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402915506631313938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSMJHULnOu-QVUnjHWXt8pReMMNA0jFLgOuDtinK9u9ebZQoJpFQoG1PyzgNzvvHAkRO1EeWc3GgT6z5ACO0hP-GN03aVYRVs90HZ77N0kQSVSvHwFI51AsSfABqdpibufUExj/s400/November+bags+015.JPG" /> <form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"><br /> </form><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 296px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402915058643826898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvyRDM5V05Csnh3Yo2-97-Kr-TnEraJK6xbDCSP2gp9_57cqxSv459YJZ_KjPDrJgsXeCeSTIZo_w8pCDUBUlewzEXldDNUj4RT_8hSRzBb6oL3yOFGzr9NH2egmYicWjtuqf/s400/November+bags+014.JPG" /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 418px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402915521209813938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWXft383cwYm3tSn_DWFXnmg67hGQh-bkTcm6wYO8Kg6ISv0gF_zFPXrtKOQh7RfIx8RrIoSVxAM6aMCjA7qm3-K2o8eKSYE9Mq_DgYAypwYns8xVujcOdweKd_cG85WYaZtIh/s400/November+bags+013.JPG" /> Horses. $115 <span style="color:#ff0000;"> Sold!!!</span></div><div align="center">Most likely the only horse bag I will do because out of 600 sweaters that I have had this is the only one with horses....so if you are a horsey lover...here is your bag!!! <form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdN4m5q-o9Y2mXIMffSXHo1Mj6dFOfwfE-DJNhl3ITkkr3WuT3wBKyhENpZLbE-Zxt0p8AceJOXdorXf_VRMcW1pwMSSiMR-mcN2QL9RcMgJVBm_So7JLUO526rbTCYhSdR6yq/s1600-h/November+bags+012.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402915052211344290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdN4m5q-o9Y2mXIMffSXHo1Mj6dFOfwfE-DJNhl3ITkkr3WuT3wBKyhENpZLbE-Zxt0p8AceJOXdorXf_VRMcW1pwMSSiMR-mcN2QL9RcMgJVBm_So7JLUO526rbTCYhSdR6yq/s400/November+bags+012.JPG" /></a> This bag was quite labor intensive.
