Happy New Year! We did our usual and spent a lovely evening with Ilsemarie, Ulli, Johanna and Klaus, this time an event at the Goethe Theater. It starts at 7 PM, goes about 2 hours, and then you can stay for the party or party on your own. We allow to party a bit before and then head home!
After admiring the tree, the new kitchen, and the new landing and steps to the small yard, we made a toast to 2018. I'm looking forward to a more congenial 2019.
How about wild boar goulash with fresh Spätzle to start us off?
The food was predictably delicious and the conversation predictably lively. We've stopped dancing around the Christmas tree, but it's still lots of fun!
After a fantastic show set around Italian opera aria at the local theater, we sneaked off to Ilsemarie's office nearby and had a glass of bubbly to 2019. And then we all headed home. Werner and I both have colds (bad) and somehow standing in the middle of rockets and mini-bombs is no longer our favorite thing to do. And AND staying up to 1 AM is also not on the list. So, old fogies that we are, we got home, got in our jammies, watched the noise and light from the front window. The teenagers across the street had lots of fun lighting lots of fireworks. That was enough for us!
January 1, 2019. Sounds like science fiction.
How often have we done this walk around Meyenburg on New Year's Day? Don't know. I tried to look back on the blog, but there are only a few mentions. I take lots of pics, but I don't always post.
A quick look in the picture folder shows walks there in at least 6 of the last 8 years, though somehow we think we have been doing this forever. Well, maybe not....
But we're keeping up a tradition, however long it is, so off we go to Meyenburg.
In past years, there's been snow, but not this year. We've hardly had any freezing weather, but it was cold and clear this day. The blue skies were more than welcome.
We took our usual path through the fields.
Would you believe? Still, summer flowers blooming.
And there are still lots of ducks at the mill pond.
We hope your days between Christmas and the New Year were refreshing and renewing. All the best to all of us for 2019.
