Hi. Remember me?
I used to have a blog.
I wrote about walking my dog.
And took far too many photographs of plants with my new camera.
Sometimes I wrote about living in Germany.
And snapped a few photos of what I was seeing along the way.
I've been gone from blog world for a while, but all's been well. No worries. Just taking a break and enjoying life.
And eatin'.
Wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying life, too.

Hey there! Glad to see all is well. Any marathon training going on in these cold summer months?
We miss you, and the pictures of the flowers. One day I'd love to hear about the lens you use for those...I'm just dabbling in lenses myself and it's a brand new world for me.

Great masthead! That path could lead ANYWHERE, ya know?
If I listen hard enough, I can actually hear that courtyard fountain and the murmur of conversations spoken in a language that is not English.

What the hooey is that THING on your plate??? I'm not altogether sure about it.
P.S. The lady with the basket seems to be having a rough day. Did you hug her?

Just assure us that you'll return. I admire you for taking a break. Enjoy your Southern summer.

I have to tell you....I love your blog! It's witty and clever. So many blogs I read are just boring brag fests and yours is unique and fun. I am German girl living in Singapore, and your commentary on German life brings me home! Thank you! You are real!!!!!!

No. I don't recall who you are. Are you the one who makes the cakes?

Man, everytime I swing by there are stunning photos of the countryside and evocations of a life I think I'd like to live. A lot. Stop making me sigh so loudly OK. Sheesh.

Just dropped in to make you jealous. Eleanor was my room mate for the last three nights. We had midnight feasts, and giggled, and told ghost stories and and and and and ...
Oh ok, we spent the whole time talking about YOU. There. I said it.

It's true, we constantly referred to you..."Eurolush would have really cute pyjamas, and she'd have fluffy slippers, Eurolush would be working on jewelery
and aprons and lavender sachets, Eurolush would never eat just ONE timtam with her tea, Eurolush would be dancing in the backyard in her bathrobe...."
Ahem....
Suse sleeps like a tiny mouse, so so cute. I really wanted to tuck her in and kiss her on the cheek...but I didn't...I did, however, give her an extra tight hug a couple of times. But not in bed. Obviously.
P.S. Oh look at that, Kim from Allconsuming is in your commentbox!

I'll have what she's having--but with a beer, please.

EATING?!! I was worried sick in case you'd got embroiled in some kind of blog punch up and general fracas and what were you doing? EATING!
Good girl! Hope you had a nice break.

I was hoping everything was ok! Welcome back we missed you!
