Dachau

I have known the name Dachau for a very long time, and as we walked through the gates on Tuesday morning I wondered how my grandfather felt when his army infantry arrived there nearly 63 years ago. I wondered what he would think of me being there. I hope somehow he understands the need to pay respect to the survivors of Dachau, those who lost their lives, and the US army infantries which liberated Dachau.

The cruelty, the pain, the suffering which people imprisoned there were exposed to was horrific. Thank god this was stopped, thank god there was an end, god bless all of those who lost their lives in such a cruel and senseless manner. We were filled with sorrow and disbelief which words cannot properly describe.

Vacation time..

I had a few vacation days to use before we leave so Adam and I decided to go to Munich for the weekend. We had a very nice time sampling the local cuisine and Bavarian brew..

Easter Celebration with Erin

Erin came over to celebrate Easter with us this year. We had so much fun dying easter eggs. Erin brought over a big chocolate bunny so we melted it down for fondue. Delicious!

Happy Easter!

The snow has arrived!

After a mild winter, the snow and cold weather has finally arrived. We woke up to several inches of snow on Good Friday.

Here's what happened to the tulips... yikes!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

An Ode to Selling the Car

We are moving soon, which everyone knows well
But getting ready to sell the car has been a bit of hell.

New tires, tune ups, and parts I can't name
Have led to expenses that are a big shame.

So when do we sell, what do we do?
The answer came with a piece of cat poo.

There on the hood sat a little cat turd,
I looked over at Adam but didn't say a word.

"I cannot believe this. It must be a sign"...
Can't wait til we finally get to sign on the line

We must say goodbye to a car that was good,
now that we found a fresh cat turd sitting on the hood.

The end.

What a great birthday!

Thank you for all of my birthday wishes! I have had a fantastic day! We woke up this morning to see the 1st real snow of the year. It was amazing! It only got better from there with wonderful birthday wishes from all over the world. Thank you for making my day so special!

Love
Jodie
