Morning Walk/Morgenspaziergang

Walk before breakfast with Flora: You can still see remnants of the flood.
Spaziergang mit Flora vor dem Frühstück: Man kann noch die Reste der Überschwemmung sehen.

And there was no snow when I drove Flora to ballet.
Und als ich Flora zum Ballett gefahren habe, hat es nicht geschneit!

Leo is relaxing.

Jonathan is in Zurich right now, working for his law firm.  Charlotte is getting ready to dance in Coppelia.  Miriam has only about a month of college left.  She has to defend her thesis in early May and will graduate later that month!

Jonathan ist im Moment in Zürich und arbeitet für seine Anwaltskanzlei da.  Charlotte tanzt bald in Coppélia.  Miriam hat nur noch einen Monat College übrig.  Sie muß ihre Abschlußarbeit Anfang Mai verteidigen und Ende Mai ist sie dann fertig.

  1. Such a beautiful start to your day 🙂. I’ve been doing my best to be more active ( which isn’t easy with multiple health issues), I’m using the cardiac health app and I’m following their diet plan but blood pressure is still whacko and I’ve a suspicion that GP will want me on some medications at some point. I’m currently tracking another seven days of readings which I will submit next Monday. In the meantime I thought I would speak to our herbalist to see if she can provide a herbal tincture that might help.

    Your lovely thank you card arrived earlier this week. I’m glad that the socks have been such a good help and that you’re enjoying the book.

    So lovely to hear how the older crew are doing, you and Peter must be really proud of all their hard work and fortitude. I will pray for Miriam that all goes well in her last days at college.
    Much love

    1. Yes, being active can be hard sometimes! When it gets so cold and snowy here, I do not go for many walks. But now the weather lets me walk again. I have tried to reduce my blood pressure with different diet ideas (I think I sent you titles of some cookbooks I bought), but it has not made a difference. It must be genetic. Both my parents developed high blood pressure. I have noticed that the temperature of my surroundings greatly influenced my readings. I hope you will find a good tincture. I have tried several more natural remedies, but again, no change.
      I am glad my card got there. That was quite slow!
      Yes, we are happy that they are all doing well. Miriam is quite busy, but her work gets good grades. We still have to find a suitable job for her . . . She is applying, but is not quite sure what she really wants to do.

  2. How exciting that Miriam is finishing up her work. We wish her much luck defending her thesis. I'm sure she will do wonderfully! The flood was terrible! Is your garage all dried out now? I had a very nice letter from Charlotte (it was so nice to hear from her), and I've enjoyed seeing the company's rehearsal snippets on their instagram page. Has Jonathan been to Zurich before? I remember passing through on the train, but never really was able to explore the city.

    1. I wish we could be there to hear her defend it. All seniors will give presentations for the parents right before the graduation, but the defense is not open to the public. No, the garage is still damp and muddy. I am glad Charlotte sent you a letter. She said she was going to :). She is quite busy with dancing and teaching, but today she went to the Colorado Ballet to see a performance they put on. No, he has only driven past Zurich by train with us. So it is wonderful he gets to see it in his free time. He also has to do quite a bit of work.
