Missing Munich
How could anyone wonder why we miss Germany?
Right now we're missing Fasching, and all those donuts (Krapfen). It's so funny to see the Germans just cut loose and go crazy for a few days just before Lent begins. Remember last year when Marty got his tie cut off on Weiberfastnacht? (Scroll down a little.)
Plus, this year there's the added bonus of the Schäffler dancing, which only happens once every seven years. I wish they'd been dancing last year! I would have been following them all over town with my camera. People would have thought I was a Schäffler groupie! (In English, Schäffler are coopers, or barrel-makers. For all the beer.)
But things are fun and busy here, too. Last weekend our friend Celeste came from Georgia for a short visit, and we had a great time going around to places in Connecticut and New York City. It was great fun to spend some time together. I really missed Celeste while we were in Germany.
And this weekend I'm traveling with my chorus to Massachusetts for our winter regional weekend. Should be lots of fun. Then, in a couple of weeks, some of us will be delivering singing valentines one day, so we're gearing up for that as well.
So that's why Raspberry World hasn't been getting updated much. (However, The Stitchery is going strong!)
