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

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fun

I asked him if he could let his dog Jacko run, and I tried my luck to take some action photos. I did also take photos of my uncle that day, he looks so happy on the photos. I wish we could hang out like that again, but his brain tumor … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Fun

The Borrowed Canoe


The husband of my mother knows someone who owns a canoe and he got the offer to borrow that canoe for three weeks. We usually used a rubber raft when we wanted to have some fun on a river but it´s quite difficult to paddle with a rubber raft if you want to get ahead on the river. I think a rubber raft is only good if you have an outboard motor but then you can´t use it on all rivers due to the fact that most rivers are parts of a nature reserve and it is not allowed there, … Continue reading The Borrowed Canoe
