We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!
I've never eaten Baxters Soups before, but their latest TV advert really speaks to me. Last-minute company coming for dinner at your isolated stone cottage in the beautiful, windblown countryside? Just drag out an old wooden table and chairs and an armload of candles, get a small bonfire going, and head outside with wool-sweater-clad family and friends and, of course, your adorable dog, to dine upon warming soups and crusty bread amidst laughter and reminiscences. Sunset over the lake makes it just that much better.
Love Baxters soup. Used to devour it on damp and rainy days in Ireland. A bowl of Baxters, a cup of tea, and fresh baked Irish Soda Bread...a perfect combination! Cute commercial. Maureen
Ahhh..... We wouldn't be able to find the long extension cord for the record player and there would only be 2 cans of soup left because I hadn't been to the store!

sigh. Life often seems so much better when edited and art directed, doesn't it?

Good point, Relyn!
Crayon, I know just what you mean--that would likely happen to me, as well!
