Extended Stay

I’m officially two days past my return date on this wonderful get-a-way to Germany.  My little bears have been keeping me busy with cooking, laundry, washing dishes, and grocery shopping.  Some of the things I love to do.

I have few hours of free time while they are at school but it goes quickly.  Today I took the train to Weiden and spent some time browsing the stores for bargains. The city centre that is just a short walk from the train station.  It’s interesting how I meet so many folks to talk with in the cafe’s and on the train.  My little bit of German and their little bit of English gets along quite well.

I stopped into a store that reminds me of a Walgreen’s or CVS.  They have two things at the entrance that belong together.  All retailers, restaurants, and gas stations take note!  A cart with a magnifying glass on the handle.  In any language reading with this is a great thing, especially for us that never remember to bring the readers along.

My plan for this trip was not to be a tourist but be a Grandma. My “Sweet E” the pastry chef daughter seems to be enjoying the hellp and company.  The weather report said snow is expected next week, so I hear Savannah calling.  We’ll see……I have my mind on the Christmas markets.

Good day friends!
