HOME

We have been searching for a house to purchase. This is Jim's first choice. Nancy thinks it is a bit on the dark side but maybe with new paint and lighting it will brighten up.
Entry way. Front door and the stairs to the first floor and stairs leading down to the kellar (cellar). The haupte (main) level has a large living/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and 1&1/2 baths. The first floor has the same. The basement has the same.

Fireplace on the main living room.

Winter in Germany

Winter weather has arrived. During the day, the chairs and tables are cleared and blankets are placed on the chairs for customers to snuggle in while they enjoy a hot drink.
All of Germany is celebrating the holidays with Festivals. Lots of gifts ideas and plenty of good food and drinks.

Refreshments at a Christmas Festival in Rüdesheim Germany; a lovely village on the Rhine River.
