Fairytale Hausfrau: Berlin, Again

.

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!

Berlin, Again

I have been, very literally, away. In just over two weeks, I saw the first day of The Girl's European soccer tournament, went to Ireland with the fam for five days (more on that soon), and visited Texas for four days to attend my grandmother's funeral. It's been a whirlwind, and next week we'll be heading to Texas again, for the summer.

But back to Berlin:

Brandenburg, bier, the Wall, and--the kids!
