I really want to carve pumpkins again. People get so creative with it. I found quite some interesting jack-o-lanterns searching for a nice halloween picture… have a look here and here and here. I really miss celebrating Halloween with Jon. Ok, I am not into the whole “scary thing”, but I do like the decorations…
This is what Germany looks like in the fall. It’s almost a nice Indian summer like in New England… well, almost! ;) I went on a “road trip” with my parents yesterday. They’re planning to buy a new car, so they rented a car over the weekend to make a test drive. After running some…
Since it’s National Breast Cancer awareness month, Kristine has asked us to honor the girls… :) Ahem, yes… which could be easily done by showing the following: 1. Your Pot Holders (Oven Mits) Every girl needs pot holders [in the kitchen]… I think these are the ugliest pot holders I have ever seen. They were,…
I feel like there is not much interesting stuff happening right now, but at the same time I wish I could already post about all the stuff that is going to happen in the next few weeks, because I am worried I won’t have enough time to post about everything when the time comes. Strange….

Today is J’s birthday and I so wish I could be there with him. J and I have been separated a few times during our relationship and I thought it’s not going to be a big deal to do it one more time, but it is. Especially on days like this. Also, getting married and…

In Germany, many smaller communities celebrate Erntedankfest [ = Thanksgiving] in October by decorating a carriage with field crops and having a procession through the town. My family has a Turkey dinner once a year in October and it took…
TGIF! Time to play. SPF has become a part of my weekly routine and I love it. This week Kristine thought she’s making it easy for us, but in fact, this has been a little bit tough for me, because a. fall hasn’t really started here yet… [yes, we already had some cooler temperatures and…
We, that is Nina, Dirk, my cousin Basti and I, spontaneously went to “Phantasialand” yesterday – it’s an amusement park here in Germany. I have some fond memories of this place. My sister and I used to go there a lot when we were kids. My Grandad and my great-aunt took us there once a…
