New School Year/Neues Schuljahr

We did a google chat meeting with Charlotte and Jonathan last night!  It was so nice to be "together" again.
Gestern haben wir uns mit Jonathan und Charlotte online getroffen!  Es war schön, wieder "zusammen" zu sein.

Here is our plum cake from Sunday.
Hier ist unser Pflaumenkuchen vom Sonntag.

And believe it or not: We finally started our homeschool year.
Und, kaum zu glauben, wir haben wieder mit der Schule angefangen.

And right now we are very busy with packing Miriam's belongings because she is flying to Austria in a few days to finish her degree.  With homeschooling, teaching every day at the college, being sick for several weeks, ballet, Miriam's packing, etc., I do not find much time to write here.

Und im Moment versuchen wir alles für Miriam zu packen, weil sie in ein paar Tagen nach Österreich fliegt, um ihren Uniabschluß da zu machen.  Durch die Packerei, dem Heimunterricht, dem täglichem Unterricht am College, der Krankheit, Ballett usw. fehlt mir im Moment wirklich die Zeit, hier viel zu schreiben.

  1. I hope things soon settle down for you and that you manage to have moments of peace in between the busyness xx

  2. It's good for you to not do so much with the blog when you're so busy. I think you've done well keeping up with the photos you've chosen. I love the one of Flora and Veronika working on the deck. It's nice to be in the fall homeschooling mode again :) That's a different plum cake! It looks very good. Do you follow the same recipe but put a crumble on top? Jonathan's photos are nice to see and the group chats are always to be cherished :)

    1. True, but then I always feel sorry that my dad cannot see anything. That was a different recipe from Germany. I can send it to you. I think Jonathan realizes that he will be leaving soon and is taking more pictures.

    2. Oh, yes Eva, I see . . it is nice to put them up for your Dad. You'll just have to take each day as it comes xoxo I'd love the recipe if you have a chance to write.

    3. I know, but then I also realize that time is so precious with our elderly parents and I want to make the most of it. I will get it to you.

    4. Yes, it is true that the time is precious. I have such dear memories of visiting with my parents when they were in assisted living. No rush with the recipe. Thank you Eva.

    5. I remember your pictures from back then! My dad called today. I think he was lonely. He wanted to chat with me.
