St. Patrick’s Day 2010 – Germany
It’s hard to believe we are here again, it seems so fast. It also feels like it was just the other day I was making shamrock cookies for T’s class in his Seoul school…http://www.eclcseoul.com/
This year I have two batches to make…for T at http://www.fis.edu and G at http://www.crazycaterpillars.com
….Well I have the shamrock t-shirts made…I was a bit ahead of myself and made them in January…well you do things when you have the time….well that’s my motto anyway…maybe this all comes from my years as a “brownie”.
This year in Munich there will be a big Parade; if you are nearby should be a fun day out http://www.st-patricks-day.com/st_patricks_day_parades_europe_germany.html
I am sure you might even find a nice little pup to have a pint in.
I am hoping to go to Mac Gowan’s Irish Bar in Oberursel http://www.macgowans.de/ for a pint and some “craic agus ceol” on St. Patrick’s evening…I am waiting to hear back from our babysitter…I think it might just be a wee bit late for the “2”.

Hello again
Well I know I have been absent for awhile…but I have a reasonable excuse.
We relocated from Seoul, South Korea to Konigstein Im Taunus
, Germany this autumn…and let’s just say it has taken some getting used to for all of us… especially for my eldest T…he had a hard time settling into school and our new home. My main focus was on the children and getting them resettled.
“Love & Logic” great parenting books…check them out http://loveandlogic.com
I can honestly say this one is a help when it comes to raising kids. I have read a lot of books on parenting of late, as we are right in the middle of “the terrible 2’s” with G…and gosh boys and girls are so different..my, my.
But, I am happy to say I have been working away in the background on various projects now I just need to get organized and upload new images and ideas.
As I sit here typing this, I can see a few glimpses of green peeking through the snow that has engulfed us this winter. It never fails to brighten my day when I see the crocuses and daffodils getting ready to emerge from their winter slumber…and it is truly amazing to see how much growth went unnoticed while they were all covered with their thick white blanket. It has been a long hard winter, enjoyable and lots of fun was had in the snow but I am ready for Springtime, longer evenings, brighter mornings and new life.

Five Green Banannas
So far I have read two of the short stories…very enjoyable…I have after an absence started to make time for reading…Now each evening I am having some time for me and my book….I recommend this one very nice to pick up…each chapter in the collection is written by a different author and all done online…the authors have never met…what an interesting world of technology we live in.

Just found Time magazines 2009 list of the 50 best websites. Some of my favourites are in there, Facebook, Flickr,Skype Wikipedia,Etsy to name a few. I also really liked Kiva ” Kiva links “micro-bankers” like you and me with screened “micro-preneurs” in the developing world”. My favourite was Supercook. “Open your fridge and pantry, type the ingredients you have into the site’s search bar and stand back. Supercook will look through its database of 300,000-plus recipes and spit out the ones that match. The result? You can start cooking right away”.
You still need cook the meal, but it gives great idea’s if you do not feel like doing the meal planning.
