Canadian Thanksgiving 2008

In October 2008, I was invited to a real Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner. It was marvelous!!!

Since I'm not such a great cook and didn't really know what to do here, I helped set up the table, took pictures and basically tried to stay out of the way. :)








A million thanks to Heather and her family for being such wonderful hosts!!!

Valentine's Day without Valentine

Valentine's Day is becoming more and more important over here as well. Mostly because the industry is pushing it - you see and hear advertisements all over the place. This year, I've been celebrating Valentine's without my Valentine ... ehmm, Jochen - he's been on a business trip.

Got a hint from a friend though that being away for Valentine's actually means I'll get two dinners - one before and one after the trip. How about, if he forgot the one before I get an extra one... That'll make three alltogether... Hahah. :)

New Year's Eve in Berlin

I hope you had a great start into the New Year 2007! We spent it in Berlin with about 1.5 Million other people. The area around the Brandenburg gate was packed with people but we still had a great time. Sorry, no photos from the fireworks - I was afraid to take my camera with me (what a chicken I am ;) ). Above are some photos from the Potsdamer Platz (except for the first one which shows the area around "Unter den Linden". Although temperatures were quite warm for December/January, they had a theme park there: Winter Wonderland with artificial snow. It was fun to watch.

Happy Birthday to Myself :)

My first birthday without my dad...

Happy Mother's Day

Frohe Ostern! Happy Easter!
