Some Thoughts

:emot33:

"Kindness is a language which the dumb can speak, the deaf can understand."
-- C.N. Bovee

"Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on;
'Twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears.
Pass it on."
-- Rev. Henry Burton

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
-- The Dalai Lama

"The flower of kindness will grow. Maybe not now, but it will some day.
And in kind that kindness will flow, for kindness grows in this way."
-- Robert Alan

"Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it."
-- Epictetus (2nd century)

"Happy were men if they but understood
There is no safety but in doing good"
-- John Fountain.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-- Mohandas Gandhi.

Georgswa, I think you are worrying about what we are planning to do to Georg, hence all the entries on kindness. etc. :36_2_35:
Doesn't it snow there this time of year?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Don't worry we'll be gentle with the boy.

Our christmas is very German as my Aunty Inge brings out all her wooden angels that turn by the smoke of the candles beneath them.She also has a huge christmas scene(in wood) of house's,trees,snowmen,carol singers with a whole band walking down a street. Of cause she has Schtolen(can't spell it)which I love.

Yes its a can but is never sure

At the moment, no chance for a white Xmas. We have East Wind, that means frost and dry.

Yes and Stollen as it is written but pronounced Schtollen, a speciality from Dresden. See the video where we buy one.

@ Diana

Stollen on the " Weihnachtsmarkt " in Stuttgart from last week

Called Striezel in Dresden where they had a fire yesterday on the xmas Bazar. Lots of damage to historical buildings from the smoke that developped

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I still have family in Dresden.
