English how about just conversation?
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed
This tiny little prayer
Keeps running through my head.
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do.
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's not normal
To bless a mother board,
But listen just a second
While I explain to you my Lord'.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds & ends
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my FRIENDS
And you know so much about them
By the kindness that they give
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as I do you
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendship grew.
Please, take an extra minute
From your duties up above
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love!
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each and every mail box
And the person who hits Send.
AMEN!
This is a picture of the location taken earlier this year as you can see. Imagine how wonderful it will be this afternoon, with flowers, birdsong, sunshine and t-shirt temperature.

It is now 8 days since the last one (thats you Udo) something wrote. I am not happy about it. But you ought to know that English is my language and I am happy to write and keep the thread going if you are. But just to talk to myself??
I talk English with my daughter a she is English, my friends who are English and read all my books in this language.
Well what do you think?
What does anyone think?
Well how always, please take care, stay healthy and happy.
Love Yoli
Poor Yoli, seems you are quite disappointed with our seldom contributions. Mind, it's not our mother-tongue, which means that one has to give serious thought to every subject you are talking/writing about. Well, good thing for ones memory - I like it - but not always. But with your help we will stick on. Rosemarie
Dear Yoli,
somehow all this weather up and down is causing problems for me. I just don't feel like writing anything. But you can rest assured that I am reading everything.
Till soon - hopefully

Afterwards we went to pick some ripe blackberries There, sitting mostionless and therefore almost invisible we saw greenesh-yellow frogs (Laubfrösche) sitting on bramble leaves.

I had to smile when I read that you talk in English with your English daughter.
I use quite a bit of German when I talk to my English daughters.
When they were very young I stuck to English only, because that was their birth-language.
But when I switched into German one day, talking to our younger daughter, she looked at me in disbelief and said:
"don't make those silly noises ! "....
From then on I was determined to introduce them to German and Germany. Our regular visits
to my home, months of schooling in Germany whilst they stayed with my mother, and work
experience in Germany after their degrees enabled them to speak both languages well.
Our older daughter spent 8 years in Germany in her very first job and is absolutely fluent
in the language.
One thing I omitted however was, to make them learn 'Kernewek", because:
"Ow thaves hensa yw Almaynek" .....😃....
And now, enjoy the rest of the evening.
Greetings to you and the other friends here in this thread,

Hello Udo,
You had a wonderful afternoon surrounded by friendly waitress and blooming hortensies, having good coffee out of handmade pottery with lovely plum tart - hmh...
And all that together with your daughter - that's surely the top!.
These days I am longing for my children - they are awfully busy with their home-office
and so I haven't seen either of them for 2 or 3 weeks! I do hope anxiously to see them before I go to hospital in 1 week.
Enjoy your family and have a good time - wish ou all the best! Rosemarie
Dear Rosemarie, thank you for your answer. You are right, it´s such a wonderful feeling, when the children are near. For us this happens only once a year. They live and work in faraway places. They are busy, whereas we elderly have lots of time. Nevertheless we would love to have them near us more often, especially, when we have to undergo treatment in hospital. Dear Rosemarie, don´t worry. In their thoughts they will be with you. Today is such an enjoyable late summer afternoon. and it is Saturday. Tomorrow more sunshine.
Here are some flowers for you.
Udo
Thank you Udo for your sympathy! Tomorrow our son will come for dinner - I lured him with stuffed pepper, which he loves. And besides that he likes it to be a help with my
computer-problems.
And if he can't help, it doesn't matter, because on Monday my specialist for PC will come and see to my problems, which are really big. I even suspect to need a new computer which must then have a big update. He will do it for me.
By the time I will get everything straight before I leave for hospital.
Thank you for the beautiful sun-flowers! Flowers always cheer me up!
Bye-bye Udo! Love from Rosemarie
