Uncle´s Dog Emmi Again


Above you can see one of the dogs which enrich my uncle´s life. The dog you can see on the photo is called Emmi and I uploaded already some other photos of her. This is a very beautiful half-breed dog. She is really very confiding and playful.

I thought she is right and said “Well, give me some flower power!” and all laughed. She did grab … Continue reading Flower Stuck In The Hair

This is the borrowed canoe after we did put the boat into the water yesterday to start our canoe tour on the rivers in Salem and that was a lot of fun. The husband of my mother and me did use the canoe but my mother didn´t like to come with as she thought this boat would be quite unsteady but this is not true. I think a canoe is unsteady until you sit in and when the weight of all persons is in the middle. That´s all. But my mother was still afraid, so that only her husband and … Continue reading The Canoe Ready For A Tour
