We went on vacation twice this year. Twice to Maine. Once at the end of July  and then again in October. It made me be immensely grateful for the homestead Rich’s family has owned there since 1795 – an old Read More …

Wild Blueberry Picking on Whitecap Mountain

Posted onJuly 31, 2020November 13, 2021Leave a comment

I obviously still refuse to do that activity starting with “h”. But when people mentioned wild blueberries, I was immediately willing to walk up a (smaller) mountain and pick them. So on Wednesday morning we departed by car from the Read More …

Travel: Sunrise at Branch Pond, Maine

Posted onOctober 24, 2015July 28, 20201 Comment

Früher war ich ein richtiger Frühaufsteher. Um fünf nach halb sechs klingelte mein Wecker, um fünf vor halb sieben lief ich zum Schulbus. Dazwischen Anziehen, Frühstücken, Schminken. Das habe ich meine ganze Schulzeit so durchgehalten. Ohne Snoozefunktion. Und ohne Kaffee, Read More …

My perfect accessory to fall asleep 🌠 ~gifted~ My perfect accessory to fall asleep 🌠 ~gifted~

I wear my 3-in-1 Bluetooth sleep headband from @digitnow.official almost every night and also during naps 😴. The fabric is so soft  and comfortable, even with (or rather thanks to) the built-in ultra-thin stereo speakers. The rechargeable battery provides over 14 hours of playtime. Oh, and, of course, the sound is also excellent! 🎧

What do you think I listen to the most to fall asleep?
1️⃣ Die drei ??? (German radio play series about 3 young detectives) 🕵‍♂️
2️⃣ The soundtrack of the musical "Sunset Blvd." 🎭
3️⃣ Meditation through the meditating app on my phone 💆‍♀️

A day off at the beach 🏖 to recharge I wonder A day off at the beach 🏖 to recharge

I wonder if Ophelia and I can make a trip to the beach every week. It takes almost 1.5 hours by subway to get there, but it's so worth it. 🌞

5 years married today 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ - 5 years married today 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ - and I would marry you again and again 💘 @richgellis

As it's our wooden anniversary, I got him something very much like me (just made of wood): German, consistent, pretty, reliable, and slightly annoying. 😆 Any guesses?
