Patriot
One proud American citizen flying her flag. Fourth of July is coming up, yet Lia needs to leave her country on an important flower girl mission. Her Uncle Chrischie and Auntie-to-be Su are getting married in Germany, a momentous event that outshines State matters, as petals and peanuts need to be tossed by a professional. But before reconnecting with her German roots, Lia must praise her nation's heritage. After all, she's a true patriot.

Wow, this is going to be one BIG adjustment for this girl to REALLY get in touch with her German roots come next winter - we just don't go around swirling our colors around here unless it's the World Cup or the Euro and then they quickly disappear again - once we lose to either the Italians or the Spanish (- the Spanish? How did THAT ever happen? Aren't they supposed to lose in the quarter finals just like the Dutch did? Well, it seems the Italians did not agree with that this time, they seemed quite comfy just being the world champions for now ...). So, no twirling in shawls of national colors in perfectly matched outfits (oh yes, I noticed) around here except for every other year when the German team is doing well. And Lia looks like she is having SO much fun! Poor girl. (But then, she's going to have a whole variety of flags to choose from, so maybe she'll end up doing A LOT MORE twirling? Could be!)
Can't wait to see you guys. Happy packing, have a safe trip and see you in our time zone! Hurrah!
Kann es auch kaum mehr erwarten!!!! Mich haben die weißen Tücher, die Lia geschwenkt hat eher an einen Schleier erinnert - ist das normal ;-)!?
Gute Reise und bis ganz bald!! Su
oh, liebe Su - ich glaube, das ist das Hochzeitsfieber ... irgendwann erwischt es jede Braut!
Liebe Grüße
Uli
ja, liebe Uli, Hochzeitsfieber - hört sich so an als wäre es das - aber man wird ja zum Glück auch wieder normal hinterher!!? Liebe Grüße, Su
naja, liebe Su, im Idealfall hält es schon eine ganze Weile an and flackert immer mal wieder auf, z.B. wenn man Hochzeitsbilder anguckt und so ... ist ein bisschen wie Malaria - es kommt und geht - nur wesentlich schöner und angenehmer!
Freuen uns auch schon auf euch! Habt eine gute Reise und bis bald!
God Bless America! And really patriotic Peanuts! (Does Germany realize what a treasure they have on loan from us?! Hope so...)
Looks like Lia is planning on taking those collected colours home with her!
