The fun of living in southern Germany

Thank you readers for your kind comments on yesterday's post, and thank you to all those who have emailed me separately.  Having kind people in your life really helps to ease the pain in difficult times.  Your kind words and thoughts will most certainly not be forgotten!

I am feeling better today, my cramping is pretty much gone.  So, Joern and I headed out to an electronics store to purchase a new refrigerator for our  apartment.  Ours has been on its way out for a few months, and we felt like today was just the time to buy a new one. 

What made me smile the most today, was the tractor that pulled alongside of us:

Yup, that's a tractor filled with cabbage!  And no, we're not in the middle of a farm, this is across the street from the Stuttgart airport!  I love Germany!
