Late Summer Barbecue


Today it was family time again. We planned a barbecue in the garden again and this time we were quite a lot of people. It was a barbecue for ten people. I like this, especially when there are also family members that I don’t see that often. We had good chats as always and the food was super delicious too, but you wouldn’t expect something else when you hear about barbecue. My grand cousin has a new boyfriend, and he was a guest too. I liked to chat with him, he seems to be a nice guy. I really hope … Continue reading Late Summer Barbecue

Action Dog And Garden Fun


Today we went into the garden again, because it was planned to meet some other family members that we don’t see regularly. It was my grand-aunt, my grand-uncle, my second cousin and her little daughter. My second cousin did not only come with the daughter but also with her dog.

I decided for two scoops, stracciatella and vanilla with chocolate crumbles. My mother decided for coconut and chocolate. This … Continue reading Finally, Ice Cream Season?

Happy New Year!


I always visit my family for an hour before the new year starts, but after that I usually visited friends. Well, this time it was very different. I did send my greetings to the friends, but I celebrated only with my family. Today, we all wanted to celebrate with my uncle who got a terrible brain tumor diagnosis some time ago. In December 2015 we actually didn’t know that this would be his diagnosis, but I moved to him at this time to help him with his health issues. Today it really felt strange that this is already a year … Continue reading Happy New Year!
