Letzter Tag in USA/last day in the States

Heute gab es einen wunderschoenen Sonnentag,warm wie im Sommer mit blauem Himmel und Fruehlingsluft und Vogelgezwitscher.
Today there was a wonderful warm day like in summertime ,air smelling like springtime,birds singing full of joy...
We spent 2 extra days in S.C.,because our flight was cancelled.There was a pilot missing for the flight because of inconvenient weather situations somewhere else.
2 Tage Verspaetung wegen "Pilotenmangel"!

Ich habe 2 Stunden lang TBN,einen Christlichen Fernsehsender geguckt.Soooo etwas gibt es bei uns nicht,und das ist doch hochinteressant. Psychologie und Ernaehrungsberatung sind mit inbegriffen.Wir sollten uns ,das stimmt mit Sicherheit,mehr vom Heiligen Geist leiten lassen.
Mittags konnten wir noch mit Felicia und Frank mexikanisch essen,und nachmittags sind wir im schoensten Sonnenschein nach Greenville gefahren,im Wingate -Hotel praechtig untergebracht,ein koestliches Abendessen zum Halben Preis im California Dreaming Restaurant genossen und jetzt haben wir 2 Computer zur Verfuegung und koennen so beide gleichzeitig uns verweilen.Einfach herrlich!

I watched for 2 hours TBN,a christian TV Programme.This is fascinating for me,how many different approaches there are to faith.Many of those people are touching in their beleive and habit.The Holy Spirit should have even more room in our life,for sure.

We enjoyed having Lunch with Felicia and her dear husband,Frank,and then had to say good buy!

In the Afternoon we had a lovely trip to Greenville,where we are leaving from tomorrow morning for merry old Germany.The Wingate Hotel is excellent for us,very friendly service,a good! room.And advice to go to the California Dreaming Restaurant with a Bonus Ticket,that saved us half the Price.Lovely!!!

As we have access to 2 Computers in the businessroom we are really very happy to write a bit ,still in this year,as we will only arrive the 31.of December in Duesseldorf.

So,HEUTE/TODAY I thank God for all my blessings ,innumerable blessings,and for all my dear family,my friends and everybody who just looked into my eyes.

Soooo,HEUTE danke ich Gott fuer all meine unzaehligen Segnungen,meine liebe Familie,meine Freunde und alle ,die mir mal in die Augen geguckt haben,sei es auch in der Strassenbahn.

Seid gesegnet und seid ein Segen !fuer heute und immer!!

Be blessed and are a blessing!for today and forever!!

looking through Fotos

Das war schoen im Sommer 2008 ,dass die Annie und ihr lieber Frank hauefig mit uns essen konnten und wir mit ihren Hunden spazierengehen konnten und in ihrem Garten verwoehnt wurden.
That was great in summer 2008,that Annie and her loving husband were able to have lunch with us ,that we coul go for a walj with their dogs and that we were spoilt from them in their garden.Great!!!

Eine wunderschoene Zeit in Madison 2008 mit meiner kreativen ,mutigen ,offenen Jeanie .

What a wonderful time in Madison 2008 with my creative, courageous,openhearted Jeanie.

Der liebe Onkel Peter ,mein lieber Bruder aus Californien ,extra zur Hochzeit angereist.Liiiiieeb.
The lovely,loving uncle Peter,my dear brother from California,having travelled extra for the wedding of Felicia Ann and Frank.Very loving!

Na ,das waren doch ganz aussergewoehnliche Tage.Schoeeeeeen!
This were extraordinary days,what a blessing!

A special guest

This is great ,that Jack Powell decided to fly all the way from Madison /Wisconsin to join the wedding -party of Cora-Jean's sister.Great! Thank you!

St.Martinsgans mit Rotkohl ist jetzt faellig. Am Donnerstag ist in Stockum der Martinszug.

St.Martin's-goose -dinner with red cabbage and chestnuts !!!Thursday the kids will walk through Stockum ,where we live,and after singing speciel songs,they get some sweets,nuts ,fruit.

Ihr erinnert euch? Die Kartoffelsuppe nach den vielen Suessigkeiten und dem vielen Singen in der Dunkelheit und der Kaelte war ein Hit.
After collecting goodies in the dark and cold weather ,mostly having a little bit of trouble with the self-made lanterns, it was delicious to have a very simple hot potato-soup,mmhhh.

Die Zeit vegeht! Aber das Teilen von St. Martin's Kleidung ist eine ewige Notwendigkeit.

Time goes by,but the essence of St.Martin's day :To share with the ones,that have less will be a never ending necessity.
Enjoy Fall!!!and life,every minute! It feels so much better to enjoy than to complain .(I know how difficult it is sometimes to choose a changing point of view).AND it still feels better to feel better,haha!! TRUE!
LOVE

Wachsame Entspannung,das koennen

wir nachahmen!

Alert and relaxed at a time!!!Wonderful to learn of!!

Im Herbst schuettelt die Natur alles Unnoetige ab,im Winter wird alles vorbereitet fuer den Fruehling.Und alles geschieht.

In Fall nature gets rid of all the unnecessary things ,gives it away,to prepare during wintertime for the next miracles in springtime.

Everything just happens.Great!!!

TODAY:we have a lovely time in the late Summertime/Fall.

The sun is shining bright ,it is cool ,almost freezing ,the leaves turn into all kinds of colours ,the noise of the dry leaves is exciting.Some birds sing for us .We wanted to go play Mini-golf ,but we were too early ,so we walked underneath the Platane-Allee to a Caffee in Oberkassel,enjoyed the Athmosphere and the coffee.Then we experienced a new Marrocan Fish-Restaurant :Delicious and inexpencive.

Now William went to school,teaching .I am going to meet a friend and in the evening I am going to teach Stress release to one person.He is a teacher and artist.

So ,everybody ,enjoy life ,it is too precious ,to not enjoy it.

LOVE......

Cumberland 2008

In Summertime we had really fun experiencing new things every day.

Na,wie geht und steht es?

How is everybody in Clinton?

Hopefully you enjoy your life for everything you achieved already. And that you had the energy to do it all. Enjoy the singing,working ,learning ,---yourself and each other.

Is the Package already in Clinton?Please don't open it before your birthday.

Heute habe ich wieder eine Englisch-Stunde gegeben,dieses Mal war auch der Ehemann von den Nachbarn dabei.Hat Spass gemacht.

Das Capitol von Madison gefaellt mir sehr.Sieht fast wie eine Kathedrale aus.

I am happy that I came so often to the USA,so I practiced and improved my English and my self- confidence .

Thank you ,everybody who helped with that.

Be blessed!!!

Wir mit unseren chinesischen Gaesten in Kaiserswerth .They came for the Reha-Care for 6 days into our house.

Very nice and lovely people.

That is in Penn Alps in Maryland ,in a Restaurant ,that is kept by Mennonites.Good food,and outside quite a lot of crafts-shops.Very nice.I love to go there.

Like Holiday

The nice Castle-Tower

Jan Wellem Fest 2008,William was visiting by bike

Duesseldorf am Rhein ,ohhhh wie schoen

Duesseldorf am Rhein,Jan Wellem Fest 2008

Also,das mit dem Text unter den Fotos klappt ja noch gar nicht.Es ist ja geradezu komisch ,was dabei herausgekommen ist.Bitte lacht mit mir.

As you see,nobody is perfect.I ment naturally the text to be underneath or next to the right picture.Well ,well.....

Rotkohl,Mohnblumen,Kamille...

Der liebe William im Sonnenschein

Ratingen bei Duesseldorf,auf dem Land

Beim Schlemmen erwischt

Herrlich !Von unserem Seitenbalkon aus.

Guten Appetit ,wie wir Deutschen das so sagen.

5 min. from Cora-Jean's Appartment!

Gorgious......

Wohlfuehlen wo und wie es geht

This is in a mexican Restaurant in Madison.The food is very good and the Margarita too

Naaaa??? Isn't that lovely???

Today is my mother's birthday.So ,I want to manage to go to the grave-yard and give her and also to my father's grave a flower-Bouquet.
The Nord-Park is beautiful at this time,almost all the leaves are colourful on the trees or on the ground.The smell of fall is remarkable ,the squarrels are busy to hide the nuts and many people are busy to prepare the graves for winter-time.

On Sunday the time will be changed again.It is really very dark in the morning.Makes it even costlier to have a wonderful warm and cosy bed. Are we blessed!!

In the meantime it is easier for us to handle our italian guests ,everyday out of 6 ,1 or 2or 3 eat something ,the others say :No ,today I just have a glass of Water/orange juice/hot chocolate (as we don't have italian espresso,what would be their breakfast).

We learn a lot and enjoy having the task ,the variety, the opening insight ,the different cultures.......

I will practice the piano again (Chopin,Impromptu op.36),I love this music and I love to watch my fingers ,being so light and easy and the music is touching my heart.And it is good for me to take lessons ,otherwise I would never ever had tried to play music like this.
My piano-teacher again and again says: I trust,you can master everything. I never would have thought ,I could. And with the music he is right,afterwards I am soooo grateful,that he believed,that I could manage.Very good feeling.
Same with the stress-release group for the teachers,that I gave this week for the first time:Was great!!

Es ist wunderbar ,mit Dir zu sprechen ,Jeanie.

Ich kann verstehen ,dass es manchmal schwierig ist,Entscheidungen zu treffen.Das habe ich auch oft nicht gut gekonnt und kann es auch heute noch nicht soooo gut.
Im Nachhinein habe ich alles richtig gemacht,weil ich es zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht anders haette machen koennen.

Sei gewiss:Wir SIND gesegnet ,jeden Augenblick.

Wir sehen es nur oft nicht oder weigern uns aus Unwissenheit ,Unbewusstheit ,es anzunehmen.Das geht mir heute oft noch so.
DU machst es gut!Und Du haettest es nicht anders machen koennen und ein Anderer/Andere schon erst recht nicht.
Du bist immer richtig so fuer Dich.Wenn es sich nicht gut anfuehlt,dann ist es die Aufforderung ,es Schritt fuer Schritt zu einem besseren Gefuehl zu lenken,zu einem besseren Gefuehl fuer Dich,denn keiner kann fuehlen wie Du in Dir.
Einzigartig.
Nicht besser als Du ,nur einzigartig ist jeder. Und in einem Uhrwerk kann kein Raedchen fehlen,sei es auch noch so klein oder gross.In einem Puzzle darf kein Stueckchen fehlen und Du bist genauso ein Puzzlestueck,wunderschoen im Ganzen ,.Genau richtig!!!!
Total liebenswert!!!
Deine Mama
Jetzt gehe ich aber wirklich ins Bett!!!!!!!!!!!

Hallo ,liebe Freunde /dear friends!!!

Today I was blessed so much ,not being aware before coming to peace.

Today was a lovely Fall -day ,I played minigolf with a friend of mine after serving my italian guests for Bed and Breakfast ,that we run.



Yesterday I showed a group of teachers to release stress ,-it was a wonderful session of 1 1/2 hours ,where some of them had the impression ,they never in their life experienced that stillness.
I am very gratefull for this gift.

Today I visited a family where the woman wants to go for her daughter in law to help her family while the delivery of her 4.child close to Philadelphia , so she is looking for help. This woman is insecure of her "dayly english" with neighbourghs and so I probably will talk with her once a week.And she is willing to pay for that.Great! I love it!!

Now it is time for me to go to bed ,breakfast has to be ready in the morning and I love to do what I do.
Enjoy your life ,it is too short ,not to enjoy every moment, Love to every body.
