Storms in Bavaria are always very bold and impressive, grandparents told us grand kids thunder and lighten is angel's and God enjoying life, I also asked my Opa , where do freckles come from , he replied , it is very simple , you where kissed by an Angel. So I started counting all my freckles lol !!!!!

I hope that your discussions with a new kitchen contractor are going well. A huge project but very exciting. Have a nice weekend.

@@newenglandfineliving aww, Winston-Salem. I really do miss both New England and North Carolina often I find - especially as I get older. What is that?! Every time you do a small town visit I feel my heart tug…ergghhhh (but in a really great way). We also lived in West Roxbury, Newton, and Marshfield. Loved them all. Mother even bought a mountain in NH once…bringing my NE experience closer to you. I was 10 I think. ‘You bought a what Mama? Why’?! No good reason. She just loved the idea. That was Mama. Completely covered in birch. It was a jaw-dropper, if perhaps a little creepy, but only had a cabin and out-house - so a big nada for Rob. I’m assuming you’ve been down to see them but if not you’ll have to visit Old Salem. Moravian. Those darned cookies are cookie crack! And be sure to go during market at High Pointe…but knowing you, as I think I’m getting to, bring a Semi. That stuff is basically free and talk about jaw-dropping!
