Been gone a few days

Why, you impatient American lot! We've been to the Homelands for a few days, and we've had ourselves an all-singing, all-dancing time!

Laa-laa, ding-ding - Great time in Germany

The main purpose of the visit was to visit baby Maja, 3 months old already, and to celebrate Opas 58th birthday, again!


Maja was too small to really care for us. We compensated for the loss of attention with over-eating aplenty, especially of cake.

Opa, of course, did care greatly for our singing, dancing and eating company. For a special birthday treat he got asked to come and play in the sand on the playground (which he refused), and to unblock the toilet (which he could not refuse). Technically, that had everything to do with the trees we planted too close to the house some 20 years ago (when Opa was some 38 or thereabouts), and which have since sunk their roots into the plumbing and blocked the pipes with a fine but firm mesh of intersecting, impenetrable roots. Yes, that is so.

Welcome back to blog-land! We've missed you girls!

Ok, happy to hear you had a nice trip to Germany but I'm curious if you could share with me the secret of the, what seems to be, fountain of youth that apparently gurgles and bubbles and flows from a spring IN GERMANY. And maybe it is bottled only for those of German decent living in any part of the world??? Hmm... this frozen-age birthday thingy has occurred quite close to my home, to someone quite close to both of us, and yes, of German decent.

Shall we call in CSI?

Glad you're back! Too bad you didn't visit my parents, they would have loved seeing you.

Every time we check out your blog Lia screams 'Ball!' with delight. It's the little dots in the background she refers to. So cute.

What are you saying, Brands? I AM 29.

Oh, we KNOW you're 29 darling....
