Sister certainly loves Brother - and finally a picture ;-) thanks for all your patience! And while I'm at it, here is an early Halloween greeting... and three getting ready to sleep...

Happy Birthday to Dani today! Heidi and Markus had a little surprise party for him, we were about 30 people of all ages (4 months to 80+). Markus demonstrated his skills as Italian chef with pasta al dente - 3 rounds of it! Absolutly scrumptious! We rounded the afternoon off with a game of settlers - Adi, Kim, Kathrin, Roman, Mischu and I - nobody won as we wrapped it up early to help clean up... unfortunately I had my cell phone turned off on the way home, 'cuz Adi was trying to call me and have us stay after the party to re-start the settlers in a more quiet environment... took a raincheck, but will start setting it up for Kim and I :-) anybody trade lumber for bricks? Gute Nacht!
