Haphazard
This blog entry will have no structure or theme.
So, what's new, you ask? Just a few photos I snapped the last couple of days.
Besides, I have been working all day on the tiny details of my layout, and I am all tuckered out and have no creativity left to spare
Mike and I are still working out a few little problems and making some more changes this week, so you may experience some difficulties for a while.
These are some flowers that Mike's Oma gave us. She is a very sweet woman, and she never lets the fact that I don't understand much get in the way of her talking to me. But I am getting better at understanding her dialect and she tries very hard to make the conversation work. I appreciate that. Penny also appreciates the flowers, because she likes to tear off the petals and eat them.
This is a case of me feeling a little too artistic. I discovered a new feature on my camera which makes taking close-up pictures a lot easier. This is a bow from one of Mike's birthday gifts, because he has recently gotten older (March 6th).
In 2006 when I went to Florida with my family, I talked my mom into buying me this at Epcot. I just love it because it is two monkeys and they are hugging. What could be better?
This is where Penny sits to have the best view of the comings-and-goings in our apartment. This is also where she sits and pouts in the hallway as we are going out the front door and abandoning her.
Here is the lovely 7 Straßenbahn, which I take to class. The transit system in Dresden is really, pretty great. There are trams and buses everywhere, and always on time (give or take a minute). One thing I like about Germany is that even the elderly people can get around here. In the U.S. I think once they are too old to drive, they lose all of their independence and have to stay in their homes.
In case you haven't seen enough cat pictures, here is another one. She has pretty gold eyes. And since I have no kids, and nothing exciting happening, this is probably not the last you will see of Penny Mouse.
