Random thoughts today

Guten Tag,

Today has been a very lazy day with fog, a blustery wind and now sunshine with only an hour left of daylight I suppose it could still rain? Whatever I am waiting for Lennie to arrive home and we shall begin the week-end. We got some new movies from Netflix this week so we get to watch at least one movie this week-end. When we lived in Kaiserslautern we had a great Kino, movie theater that had all movies in English, but there is nothing here like that in Suttgart. Well, I must  say there is but it is two buses and a train ride away. So Netflix is the way we go. Oh, have the movie theaters at Patch, also, but again very hard to get home fr om if we chose to go at night. Lennie and I love movies and I must say that is probably the thing we miss most about being home in the states. Again, there really have not been that many good movies this past year in my opinion. I think my favorite movies this past year have been "UP" "Gran Torino" and "Defiance."

I have read more books this year than watched movies. I am old fashioned when it comes to books. I was thinking about if I would like a Kindle and I do not think I would. One of things about reading a book is holding it, being intimate with the written word, cuddling up with it. I do not think it would be the same with a Kindle. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this and if you have a Kindle do you like it? I have gotten into some authors this year that I have never read and have made myself read some classics that I have only seen the movies and not read the book....or read the cliff notes once upon a time...ha!

Must share a funny with all of you. Maria, our landlord's momma who lives under us and cleans the apartment every Thursday did a real funny yesterday. I have told you how good she is at cleaning, just the normal German who does nothing half way, everything MUST be immaculate...well I caught her vacuuming the table cloth on top of the kitchen table yesterday! It was hilarious I am still laughing about it when I think about it. Now, friends, I have been known to be OCD about alot of things but never have a I gone this far. When she saw I that I was watching she started laughing and finished the job.

I think that is all for another day so I will wrap these thoughts with a nice red bow and send them off to you with lots of love ............

Tschuss,

Debby
