Octoberfest

Tomorrow Chuck and I are gonna go to the Octoberfest hes so excited. We are taking a bus trip through the USO. The last two years hes been in the field and this is our last year here and he really wants to go. We leave early in the morning and come back early on Sunday. I will post pictures and stuff on Sunday.

The history of Octoberfest

The first Octoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honour of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig's marriage to Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years the celebrations were repeated and later the festival was prolonged and moved to September. In September the warmer nights allowed visitors to enjoy the outdoor gardens, or the atomsphere of the beer tents, or a stroll over to Wiesen continues into present times.

Sunny Saturday

Yup it was a Sunny Saturday today in Germany. Chuck and I were loving the weather. We were suppose to go to a street fair downtown but couldnt find it. So we just walked around and went shopping and had lunch at Pizza Hut. Then we went to the fruit and veggie market and got some pears and grapes. Then we went to the Ronneburg Castle and went to the medevil fair. We saw the Jugglers there and some other events that were going on. We also saw the Falcon show. That was really cool. We got to pet the owls and the falcons. Now we were home and just relaxing. I hope that everyone has a great day today. We took some pics I will post them tomorrow.

Chicken and Dumplings

Yup Chuck and I made Chicken and Dumplings tonight..I tried my best to make them..This time I used bisquick and they came out okay..I guess when I make them again I will get better at it..

Remembering

Lets remember today it was such a horrible and very sad day 5 years ago...So many people lost their lives...Lets keep all of them and their families in our thoughts and prayers and the troops to that lost their lives...

What was everyone doing 5 years ago on this horrible day..>I was at a daycare center in my hometown in NY..I was changing diapers in my toddler rooms and getting them ready for the day...Then one of the moms came in and asked us if we saw the planes hit the world trade center and we all said no...So our boss brought the tv in the baby room and we all watched what we could during the day...

Chuck was fighting with the MP about the ticket that he got on his car when it happened then he went on lockdown..

It was such a sad day and I am sad today thinking of what happened to all of those people...

Hugs

Ikea Flea Markets

Today Chuck and I went to the Ikea Flea Market which was buy our house. They have it there the first Sunday of every month. Would you believe that Chuck and I have been in Germany for almost 3 years and have never been to it. So we woke up early this morning and went with our friends to check it out. Parking was horrible there but after waiting for 10 mins we found a spot. There was a lot of stands set up that old stuff and new stuff. It was pretty neat. I bought a really pretty pink shirt and Chuck bought something for his car and he also bought a motorized cat to pick on Sabrina with. It worked because shes not real happy that cat and walks away from it. We cant wait to go next month and check it out again because we heard that theres gonna be a lot of christmas stuff there. Well I hope that everyone is having a Happy Sunday.

Bye,

Poor Chuck

Yup Poor Chuck got stung by a bee the other day and he can't get the stinger out of him..How do you take it out because its driving him nuts because its really itchy. The bee stung him at work on the side of his stomache when he was unloading stuff.

Homeade Chicken Noodle soup

Today Chuck and I both have sinus infections yuck......or mine is just a head cold because of the change of weather in Germany. One day its cold here and the next day its warm. I dont know what to think. I just wish that mother nature would make up her mind and decide what to do. Well back to Homeade Chicken noodle soup thats what Chuck made for the both of us tonight. It was really yummy and made us both feel better. He boiled the chicken and then cut it up and put chicken broth in it and then added the veggies to it. It was great. What makes everyone else feel better when your sick...I hope that everyone is having a Happy Saturday..

Amy
