Camping in the rain....

but no place I'd rather be! Half the group is here, 1/2 coming in tonight. It poured last night, but due to good tarpage, we stayed DRY! Got in a few runs on the summerrodelbahn today before the rain started. John got bindings on his skis and new orange boots.....he looks super HOT!!! Now, just waiting to call the garbage men in Bremerton and enjoying the silence:*)

Metamorphosis of Boogerville





Here, I present, Boogerville. Or what will soon be called something else as it won't be the most shiteous color of green any longer. One building is almost done...3 more to go! And it wouldn't be possible without my fabulous BGE Robbyn, who is my project manager. (just like Apprectice I guess)

Tagged by Dana, 6 Random Things




OK, so here it is....6 random things about myself:*)

1. I can "speak" 5 languages, 6 if you include "dog". Thanks Jan!

2. I love cocktail parties where I get to dress up...don't get to go to many, but hoping that might change. Maybe if I took a shower I might get some invites.

3. I love the song "Funkytown". It's even the ringer on my mobile phone.

4. I don't like living overseas and having the "UGLY AMERICANS" around me. It's embarrassing!

5. My waist has gotten thicker in the last year:*(

6. I love raw potatoes with salt:*)

So now I'll pass it on...

Mein Schulkind






In Kindergartens here, it's a big deal when you're going off to "Real" School. So, today was the last day, and they had to bring their new backpacks to show-off to the rest of the students. Ava, being American, did not have a monstrous German backpack, but the ever practical and super-cool LLBean backpack, complete with monogram.

The picture of the dollhouse and doll is what she made...I mean, she sawed, filed, sanded, and oiled it. Her doll is felted wool that she made as well. Waldorf is pretty cool when it comes to teaching kids practical and useful skills...especially the part of learning the pagen rituals:*)

The underwear collection


Ava loves underwear! So, today she got a new pack, and promptly got out the others to model:*)

A tale of two thongs



First one taken by me in June 2006 in Aptos, CA. Second one taken by me last night at a fest in Boblingen, Germany

One fest, two nights









God I love summer in Germany!

Another craft project..hee hee


I bought these pearls on our last trip to Thailand, and had never made anything with them. So what better way to use them than to make a necklace for our neighbor Heidi, who is like another one of Ava's aunts:*)
