Greetings to YOU all Dear Readers.. greetings.
Many too'ings and fro'ings are happening.. YOU had better keep up with MY language if YOU want to know what's a'going on around here.. it means that there is much movement of people.
For Tereza and her children have left to go and visit her family overseas.. apparently Caroline has had a visitor staying from France.. Myra is with her family in Paris and WE were supposed to be going to stay with friends but they, poor people, still have no electricity and so OUR visit has been postponed.
SHE got an email this morning from Debi, YOU know Debi, she used to live in London and SHE and Debi used to jaunt all over the place, then she moved to Sheffield to take care of her mother-in-law. WE went to stay with her in Yorkshire, it was the first time that I had been on a train!
It was such a strange experience! The carriage was almost empty and so I sat on the table and watched as.. silently.. whoosh.. the world whizzed by at high speed.
Anyway, Debi is now back living in America and is very near to her family, she has three sons and I think that two of the sons are married with families, so she is surrounded by her loved ones.
She is living near Lincoln, which is a small town in the state of Arkansas, in the area called the Ozarks.
There is saying about this region that it is not that the mountains are so high, it is just the valleys are so deep! For there is lots of water in the Ozarks with many wonderful rivers and the area is very famous for growing apples.
She wrote that they have a lot of animals that I have never seen living all around them. Fancy sharing a life with Armadillos, Deer, Possums, Raccoons and Wood Chucks! Why, they are names out of a Zane Grey novel.. Yes, SHE is that old..
Can Wood Chucks chuck wood? It would be most useful indeedy if YOU live in the country and burn wood.. as long as they 'chuck' in the right direction.. terrible joke GeeGee.
Oooh.. a text message from Sofia.. not a person.. the city.. in Bulgaria! Apparently it is sunny there and they have a temperature of 7 degrees
centigrade!
The text message included the email addresses for Leonid and Marianna and her family and said that Tereza is reading MY Blog and that MY two small friends, Georgia and Rebecca, are "wolfing down home made pizza".
So now I can post them MY Blog and let them know how much WE enjoyed their company and to wish them all the very best for New Year.
Pizza.. flour.. this brings ME to the title of this post.. for tonight.. WE are having home made Spaetzle and Rump Steak with a Bordelaise Sauce with a Chicory and Raddicchio salad.
Yes.. YOU did read that right.. those delicious German noodles, SHE realised that SHE has, sitting in a kitchen cupboard, a very old Ricer and has found a recipe on line on how to make the 'dough'. It has several discs that slot inside and one of them will be perfect to make these delicious things.
Yes, SHE has someone coming for supper, so I had better stop now so that SHE can get HER act into gear and take out old Mister Duster and Waxy Polish to work their magic on furniture and drive old noisy old Dyson around.
So with a flap flap and a vroom vroom, I am off to bedroom door and WE wish YOU all a very happy day.
But fear not Diane, Rosamund and Pegeen.. for I will be reporting on the various YumYums that SHE makes but WE do want to know from Lotta in Hamburg, probably via YOUR mama Rosamund, how did YOUR Spaetzle making go?
GeeGee Parrot.
