                                          Rothenberg, Germany.    

I visited this town many years ago when I was out and about seeing some new places and faces.    A lovely town in Germany with huge stores that carried the wonderful nutcrackers and steins.   It is called the gateway to the sea and has a wonderful department store where I met a German lady who had smiling eyes and wanted to have a conversation.  She didn't speak English, I didn't speak German but we managed to get our point across.    The house in the center of the picture looks like the one in the Fairy Tale puzzle on the table.   I wonder if there is a Fairy Tale connected to it.  The bell tower with the clock is often photographed.  It has been many years since I was there;  wonder what it is like today.   I'd like to go and find out....smile.

I am off to the Gallery today and finish up some of the inventory job I have been working on.    There are so many items to check off and sometimes it is a mystery as to what happened to a picture or an object of art which could have been sold and not marked in the book; or, the artist could have reclaimed it and didn't mark the book.   It is a case of to many hands in the pot and some forget to follow up which makes taking inventory a bigger job than it should be.   I could call it a mystery project, and it gives me something to do.   Big doings coming up as the new artist is having her first show at the gallery and Louis is going to be doing his one man train show at the local theater.   He does a great job and I hope it is successful. He worked on the trains for years and tells all about the trip from Chicago to the west coast and tells about all of the highlights along the route.   He is quite an actor and does a great job.   I'd buy you a ticket if you were here.

So today, find places to go and things to do.   Keep active.   Keep smiling.  Keep good thoughts running through your head.    Make your weekend a banner one and enjoy it.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and take time out to 'make merry' and enjoy yourself.   All work and no play....you know what that does .....so play a little and have fun.  Hugs to all.
