Germany 1984 Throwback Thursday
My parents visited when we lived in Germany. I drove them to see Munich, Garmisch, Berchtesgaden and then onto Salzburg, Austria. It was a Bavarian Alps Road Trip. Here they are posing for me with their grandchildren Mark, Matthew and Laura. It was a happy time together.

Driveway Art in Columbus
My DIL Erika sent me these photos of granddaughter Maura’s sidewalk chalk artwork in their driveway .
Looks like she used some painter’s tape to get those crisp edges.
I forgot to ask how long it took to create.
Peter Rabbit and his Family
Peter Rabbit and his mother as she was returning from the market, and his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail. They got to have blackberries for supper.
Peter Rabbit was given to me by my father sometime in the ’60s, the first of the collection.

Substitutes for Conversation Hearts
The iconic Necco conversation hearts are no longer made.😢
My sister sent out the Brach’s version to the grandkids. I tasted one and spit it out in the trash but I will say she warned me prior to my putting it in my mouth.
Missing the chalky taste and flavors of the original.
But they looked festive so I photographed them along with the cinnamon hearts she mailed.
