Still no DSL, so I'll hold off on the pictures for now. We're back in Berlin, and we missed the first snow of the season while we were in Cologne. That's a story for a later (less obscenely expensive) time. The second snow is falling now, and Greta & I enjoyed walking in it to school this morning. I'm sure it will get old, but for the moment it's fun. Better day at school yesterday for Greta. The report was that she only cried for 10 minutes and then got on with her day. That's the first victory in just over 2 weeks! Hoping by the end of this week she'll be in the flow--starting my German school next week!
Last night was the first night of Advent and the opening of the Christmas markets. We went up to the Schloss to visit our neighborhood market. There were trumpets and spiced wine. It was awesome. Came home to make Christmas star cookies without any waxed paper. Total pain in the ass, and then I forgot each of the three batches in the oven. They're all hard. Will have to try something else tomorrow. Oh, and buy a kitchen timer!

So who's Pat - Forgot the FB picture didn't accompany the blog comment!!!! Kristi's mom :-)
I hate hard cookies - put a piece of fresh bread in with the cookies and they will soften - just don't forget to change it once in awhile or you will be making penicillan (sp). (ok, tried all sorts of spelling and too lazy to look it up). Maria
