A la car sounds interesting but I think my stomach might be too weak 😅. Happy belated birthday and a piano sounds like an awesome gift

I saw your note after commenting. This is so cool. I would be so obnoxious if I watched something filmed in my own kitchen considering I already have to tell everyone when things are filmed in places I've visited.

The book looks so interesting and like there might be opportunity to learn about another culture as well.

Congratulations on your new piano. Definitely worth getting older for!! Happy birthday Ingrid! And love the story and picture of you and your grandfather; made me remember my own, who was also wonderful and died when I was 11.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag nachträglich! Schön, dass du das Buch gelesen hast, das ich dir empfohlen hatte (Der Traffikant). Dabei habe ich es selbst nur geschenkt bekommen und nicht gelesen... Aber mein Sohn hat darüber in der Schule eine Klassenarbeit geschrieben.

What an adorable flower girl you were! So they say March has some life-changing astrology going on, so think it might be the right time to share the book!
