Edelweissmädl's Travels Across Europe

Back Home

So I'm back home from my trip to my second home.  I saw my Grandpa and other relatives.....went to Trier and to Hamburg.  There was a decent amount of shopping sprinkled in there, too.  This was my longest vacation away from work since I started this job and it was nice.  It was great to no worry about work and not worry about wedding issues either.  I got a 70 peice set of silverware which I was determined to get on my trip and some cutes clothes as well.  The one thing I ended up not getting was any yarn for myself.  The yarns stores were not so conviently located to other important sightseeing attractions and the first store had the yarn my friend wanted so I got that as requested and decided that my trusty Rikes Wollmaus will just have to mail me whatever else my heart desires back here to the US.  Highlights would be getting my haircut by my cousin Jenny, riding in my cousin Sven's sporty Mercedes convertible and eating lots of new fish in Hamburg.  I found some cottages on the waterfront of the Harbour.  Maybe I will just get one of those instead of a place here:)  I hope to include pictures shortly.

So Maybe It Was Me

So I put in a help ticket to typepad.  I moan about my pictures not uploading, and they ask if I am saving them for web use (100k or so in size).  Oops, maybe not.  A 14 MB file? Never!  Oh, well.  At least I get to show off a few cute pics before I leave after all.

Chocolate Sheep from Rising Meadow Farms.

Did he touch the elctrical outlet?!

Lamb at 10 in the morning? Somehow it seemed wrong, but oh so good!

I leave you with this....

I don't have much in the way of pictures from MS&W, but I am leaving for next next 12 days so I thought I would at least throw out a little something for the masses.  Unfortunately, typepad is misbehaving and I can't seem to upload pics:(

I was happy run into lots of irregulars from the shop and see my favorite sheep.  They are my "chocolate" sheep from Rising Meadow Farms in NC.  There were also the cutest alpacas near the auction area.  I did come home with some loot...a nifty swift, 2 skeins of pink cormo, malabrigio that reminds me of candy apples and a cone of light blue silk.  I was not as overwhelmed as last year and I think that was a good thing.
