Actually they have almost the same birthdays are your twelve and five year old. My son was born in December and my daughter over Labor Day Weekend(beg. of September). <br /><br />Thanks for the information about the bogs - off to research it.<br /><br />My MIL always points out the differences between Bavarian and the north, so I know what you mean. ;) Of course, she is partial to the north being from Berlin.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-15821498296010427422010-10-19T22:59:45.769-04:002010-10-19T22:59:45.769-04:00Alexandra, I love the "mainlesson" websi...Alexandra, I love the "mainlesson" website. A friend of mine knows the lady behind it and says she is wonderful. I prefer the "real" books too. I myself don't like to read online and we don't let the children use computers much. So I print things out or try our local libraries. We live in a very rural area and the libraries still have all those old books! <br /><br />Your moss garden sounds very pretty. The peat mosses in Germany are around Bremen. There is also an artist colony in Worpswede, which had many artists who drew the area and the people. It's a wonderful area and not like the Bavarian part of Germany at all. <br /><br />Thanks for the compliment on our cooking. Aren't the cast iron pans great? They also supply you with extra iron in your diet.<br /><br />Could you remind me how old your chldren are? I always try to involve mine in the kitchen, but only Charlotte (10) and Jonathan (12) can actually do things on their own.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-75123250432306446522010-10-17T23:10:54.515-04:002010-10-17T23:10:54.515-04:00We like those Yesterday Classics as well.

I've got one she wrote about the myths of the Greece and Rome(Dover books edition). I'm saving this one for later grades. I've got him reading some books online, but he still prefers print books. <br /><br />Moss is one of my favorite plants. I have a little moss garden in a clear bowl on my kitchen sill, harvested from our shade garden. I'll have to research the peat moss and moors of Germany. I hadn't heard of that....such cute little moor devils. <br /><br />Lovely cooking job. :) We use those iron pans as well. They are so easy to use and practical - they last forever. I look forward to the day I can teach my daughter to cook. She already tries to help, but needs to learn kitchen safety...just a bit too young yet.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-54438503407762810732010-10-15T22:47:35.734-04:002010-10-15T22:47:35.734-04:00Sybille, dann hast Du gewonnen.

Meine Großmutter hatte einen Briefträger, der zwischen dem Briefeaustragen gerne in Kneipen einkehrte und erstmal ein Bier trank. So bekam sie ihre Post immer sehr spät. <br /><br />Als ich unsere Katze eben reingelassen habe, habe ich gedacht, es riecht nach Schnee, aber es ist, glaube ich, keiner angesagt. Vielleicht seid Ihr auch mit dem Schnee schneller. <br /><br />Ein schönes Wochenende!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-28903727949951723232010-10-15T07:26:48.431-04:002010-10-15T07:26:48.431-04:00Hallo Eva,

Das ist wirklich erstaunlich, normalerweise wenn sie sagen "Wir kommen sobald wie möglich" heißt das übersetzt "frühestens in 10 Tagen, falls die Notiz nicht verlorengeht". Kein Wunder, dass für morgen Schnee bis auf 1000 m angesagt ist! :)Sybillehttp://www.buntblume.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-56731491102557764182010-10-14T21:58:15.403-04:002010-10-14T21:58:15.403-04:00Danke Sybille und Marlis1
