This morning Eric and I walked into town to buy breadrolls and I took my camera. The weather is slowly getting a little warmer and the snow is melting. There is still a cold wind, but the skies were deep blue and the sun was emerging from behind the clouds. We walked hand in hand over the cobblestone pathways.
If you're curious, The sign reads: Pedestrian zone. 6-10:30 is 19-22:00 delivery traffic is allowed. Bicycles are allowed to be ridden on this pathway only between 20:00 and 9 A.M. .... But SLOWLY!
this is the center of the altstadt (old city)
We were peering in shop windows and I stopped in my tracks when I saw this dress...
"That dress is so beautiful!"
Eric made a face and started laughing. "What?! Oh god, NO..", He protested "That's downright ugly. It looks like one of my grandmother's curtains after years of smoking in the livingroom"
"What are you talking about?!"
Okay, C'mon..somebody has to agree with me on this. Isn't that dress stunning? Alice, Jenn, Crystal, Michelle. Gentry....Anna Marie??
*crickets chirp*
Right then, moving on... I can't afford it anyway.
That's our Sparkasse Bank. We found out that our bank account is in an even more sorry state than we thought.
Or "Spark Ass", as my father called it during his last visit.
and this is where we buy our morning breadrolls. The cafe.

We managed to sell a number of our boxsets on E-bay. That was a good way to bring in some extra income and a great idea. The only problem is that most of my boxsets were brought over from my trips home to America. So they're in English without German dubbing and don't play on all German DVD players. (different country codes). That's making it a tad bit difficult to sell in the European Ebay.
A sincere thank you to everyone that ordered my Artwork from the CafePress. Every penny helps right now and it meant a great deal to me. Some people sent me E-mails this week to tell me that their orders just arrived. Thank you guys! I can't quite express that enough!:)
I'll leave you with this. We've been doing a lot of packing for our move this weekend and going through some old keepsakes. I found this...
That's a ticket stub from the first concert Eric ever went to! Yes. that is indeed MCHAMMER live in Dusseldorf. hahahahaha!
Of course I can't laugh too hard, My first concert at age 15 was the opposite extreme: Marilyn Manson. Yeah, My Mother thought at the time that it was a female lounge singer or something. She didn't know why I returned with my clothing torn and mascara smudged.
