We headed for the cheese farm... just down the road from Uschi and Reiner's and look what we found. John Deere is apparently big in Germany, too!
 |
The weather however looked a bit ominous
but beautiful against the green foder growing. |
 |
| Fall or what? |
After our 45 min. drive to Hamburg...
we found the cutest thing waiting for us....JULIUS!!
 |
| He seemed to like us, too! |
 |
Especially when he saw his oma and opa!!
( gramma and grandpa) |
 |
| Kirsten, Mommy and Baby! What a great mommy! |
 |
Ok.. so Julius has an extra gramma from America..
where they play baseball! So cute in his baseball cap!! |
 |
| Oma in all of her glory. |
 |
| And Julius loving all the attention! |
 |
Then suddenly there appeared a birthday cake....
Absolutely delicious. |
 |
We especially liked the blue icing.... It stayed with us.
Thanks for a very sweet cake and look at that
adorable baby! |
Opa helping Julius get to sleep.
 |
| Looks like the counting sheep thing works! |
 |
Then we were off to the mall! A mall.. a big mall..
Hadn't seen one of these lately. |
 |
Even Bath and Body!
Uschi enjoying the fragances. |
 |
For dinner we came back to a restaurant with great schnitzel.
This menu however was in a most unusual place.
Before we ate i had to go to the bathroom so i went
into the stall and low and behold...
Reading material on the door right ahead of me. Ha!!!
Simply couldn't resist the picture. |
 |
Back in Dersau, Molly was settled in
and wondering why we were gone so long. |
 |
Again.... their sweet little house.
From this direction looks like a storybook cottage!
It is now the next day and we are ready to go on
an adventure on Lake Pöln! |
 |
| A REAL postbox on the gate! |
 |
| Ready to walk with little Julius to the boat. |
 |
| The dairy farm next door.. No more horses but cows galore! |
 |
| Still blooming even in the fall! |
 |
| On the way to the lake... a camper/ RV park. |
 |
| Then we arrived at the lake. |
 |
| Strolling along.... |
 |
| Hangin' out! |
 |
| Sven showing me which one was his boat. |
 |
| Then the boat showed up and off we went! |
 |
The sun, the waves of the water and the
German flag and... |
 |
| my dearest friends! |
 |
| Uschi reflecting on how good this move was for them. |
 |
| The only sailboat on the lake! |
 |
| Checkin' on babycakes! |
 |
| Just great fun to watch Julius... |
 |
| because he reponds like this!!! |
 |
| So serene! |
 |
| And then Pöln appeared! |
 |
| This was the church we saw yesterday downtown. |
 |
| And this Schlöss is quite a backdrop. |
 |
| Just totally enjoying the great trip and the sun was perfect. |
 |
Half way around the lake we docked
and took off for a walk... |
 |
| Our one little sail boat still providing great pictures! |
 |
| Yes, Graffiti still reigns in Deutschland! |
 |
The market in Germany is a little different that the
markets in Rwanda. |
 |
| The church on the inside! |
 |
| The Front! |
 |
After our brief tour, we headed to the
little Turkish restaurant to have a delicious Dönner! |
 |
On our way back to the boat,
the rain started moving in! |
 |
| At the dock, waiting for the boat... |
 |
| enjoying the weather made for ducks. |
 |
We got on the boat as it was starting to raina little harder....
and discovered these swans turning tail to the weather, too! |
 |
But Julius enjoyed the whole trip!
It was a great boat ride and walk in Pöln, too! |
 |
| Got back to Uschi and Reiner's just in time for coffee trinken |
 |
| and a little snooze for Julius! |
 |
| Just love this porch!!!! This is one half ... |
 |
| and this the whole. So cozy!! |
 |
This is looking from the porch into
the dining room and living room...and the cat's tree house! |
 |
Julius woke up and here he is was Daddy Sven.....
in matching outfits!!!
What a terrific couple of days and what
joy it is to be with such dear friends that
are really family!
I love you all!
