Mom´s Birthday And The Family Meet Up


Yesterday on June 12, the whole family celebrated the birthday of my mother. My mom invited us all and she made cake. We call this “Kaffee und Kuchen” in Germany and it means “Coffee and Cake” because that´s what it is about. Meet each other, drinking coffee and eating cake, while it doesn´t mean that you have to drink coffee. Meetings like this one are just called this way here. My mother had tasty cake on the table that she made. We all enjoyed it. It was one big banana mandarin cake and one kiwi peach cake and cream that … Continue reading Mom´s Birthday And The Family Meet Up

Mouse In The Grass


I love the image above. My mother shot the photo and it is the mouse of my half-brother. My mother has a big plant pot on the balcony full of grass. I think it´s the perfect place to shoot mice photos. She took the photo with her Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 I think. I really like how the black and white mouse appears on the green grass background. It´s cute! Continue reading Mouse In The Grass

My Mother Got A GoPro Hero 3+ Camera For Free


It´s not often that someone in my family has luck. But I talk about contests and the reason is that we usually don´t participate in contests or lotteries. But there is this very serious company that we know and they sometimes run contests and the conditions of participation are not that horrible like in most of the contests. What I mean is, that it is no scam and everything is really fair. My mother did participate and a month later she has won a GoPro Hero 3+ action camera. She got the video camera and we saw that this one … Continue reading My Mother Got A GoPro Hero 3+ Camera For Free

Lady Beetle Without Points


Some days ago I was visiting my mother and we sat on her balcony to enjoy the first sunbeams. While talking, we noticed that there were a lot of ladybugs or lady beetles on her balcony and we started to take photos with out smartphones.

I am still very busy with other things and I can´t promise when I will upload the new photos. I think I will do that time by time as … Continue reading Lady Beetle Without Points

Yet Again Another German Dish


Above you can see beef with potatoes, paprika, sprouts and a tasty sauce. The mother of my husband did cook it some time ago but the image is a little bit older. I still have so many photos here, and I want to save them on my blog, for the future. The husband of my mother is not a cook by profession but he is anyway a very good cook but specialized in german cuisine. I always said to him, he should open a restaurant because his dishes are so delicious but well, he has already a job and he … Continue reading Yet Again Another German Dish
