This Year - Last Year

This is my brother Stephan. I took this picture last November while visiting my family in Germany. I can't believe that it has been a year already...
I haven't made it to Germany this year due to the high gas/flight prices, but I am hoping to go there sometime soon.

My brother in the meantime is working in Africa. If you look on the world map on the left side on my blog and look where folks are logging in from, you can see, where he is at:)
He is south of the equator, so he is heading into Summer...lucky him.

We are getting ready for winter. The leaves are raked and all my beloved (NOT) walnuts are gone. I still have about 100 bulbs to plant. I have the same amount planted. I hope we will have enough mild weather, so I can get them in over the next few weeks.

Dodger where are you?

The kids had a sleep-over or how to be a foster mom

This is Natalie, Pepper's sister

She is still looking for a good home....

She is a little shy and needs a gentle hand
and someone with a big heart

I wish, we could keep her but we have already three fuzzy ones.
SO, maybe you have a place in your home and in your heart.
You can email me to get more info:)

Isn't it amazing how much Pepper and Natalie look alike.

And below are a few pieces that I made. A friend at work got me into beading and I started to design and make my own necklaces and bracelets.
