Quote Dakota 4762: Good Evening outland: It is close to 7pm here in NY. I think you are six hours ahead of me in Germany. That really is awful about your heat situation. The cost of oil is so high in the states that I try to keep my thermostats at 60. I just got back from the gym and grocery shopping. Today was beautiful weather and tomorrow is supposed to be messy, so I wanted to go out and enjoy the weather a little bit. I am glad that tonight we are having leftovers so I get a night off from cooking. I will see you tomorrow on the Daily Comment Section. Have a Good Evening!! Hi Dakota! Tuesday morning at 10:30 here! My heating is now repaired. THANK GOD!!! We were freezing and it was minus degrees outside... brrrrrrrrrrrr I have been underways alot yesterday and couldn't really get on board here, but thank you for the Grüß! I loved it!!! My daughter is dressed up like a good fairy today, because they are celebrating Fasching in the school. Fasching is a ritual and tradition in Germany, it begins in November with the kidnapping of the princess... Every borough has their own prince and princess pair (you have to donate a whole lot of money to qualify and the one who pays the most is then awarded the title for one year). On New Years Eve, (this is called Rummel Pot)all the vagabunds go from door to door and sing a song, begging for a treat. Kids get sweets and Adults get schnapps, wine, champagne.... Also hier, everyone dresses up in costumes... at midnight, all the vagabunds (I guess everyone is a vagabund then...) go out to celebrate the new year with wishes of a more prosperous one to come and send up Rockets and Fireworks... After which the party starts! In the mean time, the councils all over the country (They put on Costumes that look like marching-band clothing), and have shows with Scripts that are all in Rhyme, acrobatics, comedy skits, singing, dancing... You can turn on any local station on tv durng this time about 8 o'clock in the evening to watch these shows. They are so funny! The prince searched all over the land for his sleeping princess and on Fasching Sunday, he finds her. On Rosen Monday, the whole land comes out to celebrate the uniting of the princely pair by getting dressed up in costumes, watching the many parades all over Germany and getting smashed. They call this Carnival. It is very colourful and alot of fun for everyone. The whole country lights up. On Tuesday til about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone goes to work. This is Waldches Day. Waldches day isn't celebrated in all of Germany, just some states. The winter is frightened away and now we can begin to have springtime! Anyway, there are festivities celebrated in the woods and so (Wald = Woods)like drinking in huts or really in bars... which pretty much wraps up the season. I love it, there are sooooooooooooo many different cultural rites and traditions here. It is like living in a fantasy even though it is 2008! That and the Bier is probably why I will never leave Germany!! =)) So as I was saying, my daughter is now dressed up as the good fairy... she looks beautiful and she feels that way, too! It is also really good weather today, well so far! The sun broke though the greyness and the wind is almost still. Perfect day for the kids to parade around outside and to enjoy cheering the princely pair on as they go by in the parade.. throwing sweets and money to the loyal vagabunds, witches, gowls, ghosts, cowboys, Indians, Incredible characters, housewifes... the costumes are wonderful... wish you all were here! To get an idee of what I have just described, goto youTube.com and give in: Fasching parade or Fastnacht Grüß, Outland!

I like to keep things short so if you have nothing against it, I would like to write PB when I am speaking to you. It just makes it easier for the thoughts to flow from the head to the hand! So, as I see, we have alot in common, too! That's cool, looking forward to chatting more with you! Grüß, Outland! |

Dakota- I cannot explain our vehicle nightmares recently...I used to be dinner conversation in my younger days having been in so many car accidents in my early 20's, one of which was a fatality in 1976, I'll never forget that one. Might explain why I don't like to drive so much now in the city, now when I go home to visit, which is a smaller rural type community, I don't mind the drive at all. |
