My brother-in-law, Klaus, from Germany sent this photo of two snails dedicated to Caroline from our niece, Katharina. Caroline’s nickname as a little girl was Schnecke – which is snail in German, so it is wonderful that Katharina thinks of her aunt Caroline and has made such a beautiful drawing of her aunt who lives so far away in America. Sadly, we have not yet met Katharina as we have not been back to Germany in 12 years and Caroline’s sister Stephanie, her husband, and daughter haven’t yet come to America. On occasion though we see some very sweet photos of Katharina, such as the ones I will be posting for the next few days. Maybe one day we will be able to convince Stephanie and Klaus to bring Katharina for a visit so she can go to Disneyland, hike a bit of the Grand Canyon, look for bears in Yellowstone, take a dip in the Pacific Ocean and finally meet her aunt and uncle for the first time.
Dear John,
Have been enjoying your site, nice to see photo’s of you, your wife & mother in law. I knew I liked you from our conversation. And God must have planned for us to talk, because I was feeling a little down hearted that day & you helped lift my spirits & get me back on track, God also sent a friend to visit me. I rarely have friends that stop by. So between the both of you my spirits were back to ship shape. So thank you.
But many of your photos are magnificant & I will be setting this in my fav’s, so I can vist repedly. But the photo that is my favorite & makes me love you & your family is the Snail Chalk drawing by your niece! It’s the best! You are the best! There is no greater art, than that of a child! Even more so when it is done for you, by a child who loves you!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see you in person. And I will get that info abt the Maritimes of Canada for you. You will absolutly love visiting there, & I would love to share this beautiful spot with you & your family.
Talk to you soon. Helen
