<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Winter has arrived n Northern Ontario and I think it's here to stay too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a few days off and since we had a freezing rain warning this morning I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wanted to make sure I go and get some branches for decoration and an Advends wreath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I know the 1. Advend was last Sunday, but I have been so busy with making custom dolls for Christmas and day job that I just didn't get around to it .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So today we, Gromit and me went out in the bush to get some .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Apples are in season and sooo good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love buying fresh apples from Ontario, going to places like this one and picking them out of large crates. The smell is fantastic and it looks great too.</div>

Fall colors have changed in the last few weeks.</div>

Hardly any red or green left and with the high winds during that time many leaves dropped already.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's fall again up here in the North.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like fall. I like all the seasons, but fall is one of my favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People that know me can tell you that I'm not a fan of hot weather, so fall is always welcomed by me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there are of course the colors of change in nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here in the North it's especially beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Red , yellow and orange or mixtures of it everywhere.</div>

We went for a Sunday drive around the area and along parts of Trout Lake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This summer the flower bed is pretty much left to itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I'm so busy with selling my creations on the local farmers market and my day job, I just don't find time to tend to it at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good thing I planted a bunch of perennials last year and they are doing a wonderful job keeping things pretty .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">In diesem Sommer bleibt das Blumenbeet so ziemlich sich selbst ueberlassen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Mit meinem Tagesjob und dem Markt auf dem ich jeden Samstag meine Puppen und Spielzeug verkaufe, bleibt mir einfach keine Zeit zum gaertnern.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Gut das ich im letzten Jahr einige mehrjaehrige Pflanzen gekauft hatte die sich jetzt super machen und das Beet huesch aussehen lassen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love purple cone flowers, well really all daisy shaped flowers, but these are right up on top of the list.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ich liebe diesen <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Purpur-Sonnenhut (Echinacea) wie auch alle anderen Asternartigen Blumen, aber diese stehen auf meiner Liste ganz oben.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For many years now we bring morning glories everywhere we move. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year was the first one where some of the seeds did very poorly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure why. maybe they were an old batch of seeds I still had laying around, but even the seeds from last year that just fell around last years planting did not do anything or very poorly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only a small batch by the fence came back the way they should.<br />
Weird....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Morning Glories sind seit vielen Jahren mit uns umgezogen und haben ueberall super Fuss gefasst.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Diesen Jahr sind sie allerdings nicht gut oder gar nicht wiedergekommen. Sogar Samen die ich neu dazu gesaeht hatte sind nicht gut aufgegangen. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nur eine kleine Gruppe am Zaun ist so wie immer gekommen.</span><br />
Komisch....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this plant I can't even remember planting and I don't even know what it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's quiet tall.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich kann mich nicht erinnern diese Blume geplanzt zu haben, und weiss nicht mal was es ist. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Sie ist ca einen Meter hoch. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday the weather was so nice that I decided to take the day off sewing and went for a drive with my husband to<a href="http://www.boardshoneyfarm.com/"> Board's Honey Farm</a> in Restoule.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's about 50 minutes from where we live in the country so it makes for a nice trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Am Sonntag war das Wetter so schoen das ich mir den Tag vom naehen frei genommen habe und anstelle mit meinem Mann zu</span> <a href="http://www.boardshoneyfarm.com/">Board's Honey Farm </a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">gefahren bin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Es liegt zirka 50 Minuten von hier in laendlicher Gegend was sich als schoene Tagestour anbietet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband has pollen allergies and found that a great way to keep them in check is to use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
local meadow honey. Every time before we move he buys local honey on our house hunting trip and starts using that honey a few weeks before the actual move. He has great results with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Mein Mann hat Pollen Allergien und hat herausgefunden das ihm Wiesenhonig aus der Gegend wo wir wohnen wirklich hilft. Jedes mal wenn wir umziehen kauft er schon Honig auf unserem House Hunting Trip und faengt dann ein paar Wochen vor dem eigentlichen Umzug an ihn zu benutzen. Er hat damit sehr guten Erfolg</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We collect all the jars from the honey and when we have a whole bunch of them go to Board's and get them filled. It's a bit cheaper that way plus you get to go on a nice trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Wir sammeln die Honigglaeser und wenn wir genug haben fahren wir zu Board's und lassen sie dort direkt fuellen. Es ist etwas billiger als neue volle Glaeser zu kaufen und man kann es ausserdem mit einem Ausflug verbinden.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the shop you find everything connected with honey and education about bee's and honey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Der kleine Laden hat alles was mit Honig zu tun hat und man kann ausserdem viel ueber Bienen und Honig lernen.</span></div>

There's a nice walking path through the woods on Board's property that we took.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Where has the time gone? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't believe it has been 3 month since I posted here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas time had been very busy for me with work and all and then the flu got a nasty hold of me and put me out of commission for a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still have a bunch of pictures from my Germany trip to show, so here now the next instalment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Wo ist die Zeit geblieben?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Kaum zu glauben das es schon 3 Monate her ist seit ich hier gepostet habe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Weihnachten war sehr hecktisch und dann hatte die Grippe mich ganz schoen im Griff und hat mich eine Weile flach gelegt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich habe noch einige Bilder von meinem Deutschlandbesuch die ich euch zeigen moechte , also her dann die naechste Folge .</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is St. Gabriel's church build between 1200 and 1250 and right next to the Haseldorfer chateau/mansion you have seen in the last post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never seen it before and did not have a chance to go in , but next time I will go for sure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's such a pretty little church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see some pictures of the inside <a href="http://www.haseldorfer-marsch.de/haseldorf/haseldorferkirche/stgabriel/index.html">here</a></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Dies hier ist die St.Gabriel Kirche in Haseldorf. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Sie wurde zwischen 1200 und 1250 gebaut und liegt neben dem Haseldorfer Schloss. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich wusste gar nicht das es dort eine Kirche gab und hoffe das ich bei meinem naechsten Besuch dann auch mal das Innenleben besichtigen kann.</span><br />

This is the moat that goes around the chateau/mansion and separates the church ground from the rest of the property and the park.</div>

The following pictures are from the walk around the park. Loved it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Von der Kirche geht es dann in den Schlosspark mit Wassergraben rund um das Schloss.</span></div>

I love apples. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lately we bake a lot of bread ourselves </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me tell you, my husband has made some fabulous bread during the last weeks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we seem to always have extra dough sitting in the fridge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are using the<a href="http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/"> Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day</a> recipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is hands down the easiest way to make yeast dough. No kneading, fast and great tasting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I decided to make some cinnamon buns with the leftover dough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually I would use a Brioche or Challah dough which is sweeter and richer, but <a href="http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/2010/02/09/back-to-basics-tips-and-techniques-to-create-a-great-loaf-in-5-minutes-a-day">the bread dough</a> works just as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">In der letzten Zeit wird hier viel Brot gebacken. Mein lieber Mann hat einige super leckere Brote gebacken und wir haben fast immer extra Teig im Kuehlschrank.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Wir benutzen die Rezepte vom</span> <a href="http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/">Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Die Rezepte sind mit Abstand die einfachsten und unkompliziertesten Hefeteig Rezepte die ich je benutzt habe , und man muss nicht kneten!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Gestern hab ich mir ueberlegt aus dem Restteig Cinnamon Buns zu machen. Normalerweise benutze ich dafuer das Brioche oder Challah Rezept , das suesser und reichhaltiger ist, aber der normale Brotteig tut es hier auch mal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPYuiFy_Jc8/UFnIlHl02FI/AAAAAAAAFbM/HhvMAyGDgPw/s1600/cinnamon-buns-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPYuiFy_Jc8/UFnIlHl02FI/AAAAAAAAFbM/HhvMAyGDgPw/s1600/cinnamon-buns-2012.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just rolled the dough out in a rectangle, made some butter/vanilla/brown sugar paste that I spread onto the dough . Then you sprinkle cinnamon and raisins onto the paste and roll the dough up from the long </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
side so that you get a long roll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich habe den Teig zum Rechteck ausgerollt und dann eine Butter/Vanille/braunen Zucker Paste gemixt </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">die ich dann auf den Teig gestrichen habe und auch die Form wird damit mehr oder weniger dick </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"> per Hand ausgestrichen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Dann wird der Teig mit der Paste mit Zimt und Rosinen bestreut und von der langen Seite her aufgerollt was dann eine lange Rolle ergibt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k6JNgUT8EsU/UFnIwstjrHI/AAAAAAAAFbU/bE3oK2ye7hU/s1600/cinnamon-buns2-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k6JNgUT8EsU/UFnIwstjrHI/AAAAAAAAFbU/bE3oK2ye7hU/s1600/cinnamon-buns2-2012.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spread some of the butter/brown sugar past around the inside of the pan. This will give the buns </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the caramel outside coating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now cut the dough roll in equal pieces and arrange in the pan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cover the pan with cling wrap and let rest for about 40 minutes .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat your oven about 10 min before baking to 350F/190C</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then bake the buns for 40 min or until golden brown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nun schneidet man den Teig in gleichgrosse Stuecke und setzt sie in die Form. Die Butter -Zuckermasse gibt den Buns beim backen einen Caramelueberzug.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Deck die Form mit Cellophan ab und lass den Teig ca 40 Minuten ruhen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">10 Minuten vor Backbeginn wird der Ofen auf 190C vorgeheizt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Dann die Buns 40 Minuten backen oder solange bis sie goldbraun sind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DTy7Zksa4u0/UFnI0PWt7II/AAAAAAAAFbc/46iNc8DaXVs/s1600/cinnamon-buns3-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DTy7Zksa4u0/UFnI0PWt7II/AAAAAAAAFbc/46iNc8DaXVs/s1600/cinnamon-buns3-2012.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they are done, place a cookie sheet on top of your pan and using oven gloves, turn them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
upside down onto the cookie sheet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be careful !! All the yummy butter sugar mix that you used to coat the pan with is now hot caramel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sticky and can burn you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My advice...count to 3 and flip the pan with the cookie sheet on top quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That seems to work the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Wenn die Buns fertig sind wird sofort ein kleines Blech auf die Form gelegt ,haelt Blech und Form zusammen und dann kippt man ,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">mit Ovenhandschuhen anversteht sich,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">die Form auf das Blech.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Seit vorsichtig!!! Das Butter/Zucker gemisch ist nun fluessiger Caramel , klebt und ist sehr heiss!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Am besten macht man das auskippen schnell! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>

It is hard to believe that it has been 11 years already since that day that changed so many </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many people don't want to be reminded and say that we should move on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
True, you have to move on, but you should NEVER forget!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Kaum zu glauben das es schon 11 Jahre her ist seit dem Tag der so viele unserer Leben </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Viele Leute wollen nicht mehr daran erinnert werden und sagen das es an der Zeit ist </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">das alles hinter uns zu lassen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here is what I wrote in 2008....it is still as fresh in my mind as ever......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c1717; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Another September 11<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> has come and we remember what happened on that sunny morning in 2001 in New York.<br />This is the event in our generation,of which we remember what we did on that morning when we heard the news.<br />During 2001 we lived in Ontario Canada. I was providing private home daycare and we were about to foster our 3rd puppy for <a href="http://www.guidedogs.ca/puppywalking.htm" style="color: #c3af99; text-decoration: none;">The Canadian Guide Dogs For The Blind </a>. The supervisor was on her way that morning to bring us the new puppy from Ottawa. Then I got a call from her "Are you watching TV?" No, I didn't, since I had my daycare children in my home and we never watched TV that early. She said "Turn on the TV! Something bad has happened" So I did... A few minutes later I watched in disbelieve as the second plane flew into the second tower....<br />My family and friends called from Germany...My husband called from work...I watched what unfolded on the TV screen....I was shocked.<br />When the first tower collapsed it started to really sink in and I broke down in tears....A little later the supervisor arrived with the new puppy. All we could talk about was the events that had happened in New York. Good thing this was our 3rd puppy and we did not need any instructions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c1717; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Somehow I managed to get through the day with the children and I was happy when they got picked up and my husband came home. The next day I had to do some shopping in town and I remember driving by all the store advertising signs that had messages like "We stand with you America" and "United we stand" and flew the American and Canadian flag . I could barely drive because of all my tears. Another thing that got me was there were no planes flying for days! That was very strange , when you are so used to airplane traffic overhead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c1717; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">We had to decide how much we would tell our two older boys,then 6 and 8 years old.<br />I still remember it all like it happened yesterday and I make it a point to have a huge American flag in front of the house on this date. Even before we came to the US, I had the flag out . I just find it very important to remember that day and what it did to our lives.<br />Being married to a soldier brings a completely different aspect to the table.<br />He changed trades due to medical issues and he never had to go to Afghanistan, but we have lost many Canadian soldiers and friends in Afghanistan since ....and many, many more American soldiers and soldiers from other countries as well.<br />You do not need to agree with the politics, but please support the troops and please keep remembering this day and what <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">happened</span>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c1717; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I still means a lot to so many people!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I've never been big at is sport. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is, I guess one of my problems when it comes to weight and energy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there has always been the fact of not being comfortable enough with myself to be part of many activities that my husband and kids might do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I regret that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I have started to walk about 45 min on a pretty much daily basis .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 weeks in and I'm getting to the point where I don't find it to be a "have to" but a "want to" thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a few routes that I walk to mix it up a bit. Some have hills in them, some don't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes things less boring for me and for Gromit, my walking buddy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes my husband comes with us too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He gives me great support and I want to be able to do more activities with him in the future too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Eins ist mal sicher, ich hab nie Sport gemacht.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Das ist auch ein Faktor der bei meinem Gewicht und Energy eine grosse Rolle spielt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Da ich mich auch nie sehr wohl in meiner Haut gefuehlt habe,hab ich auch nicht oft an Aktivitaeten teilgenommen die mein Mann und die Kinder gemacht haben.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Das bereue ich oft.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nun habe ich angefangen regelmaessig fast jeden Tag ca 45 min mit einem unserer Hunde zu gehen.Nach nun fast 5 Wochen ist es nicht mehr ein"muss' sondern ein"moechte"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich habe ein paar verschiedene Strecken die ich gehe. Mal mit Huegel, mal ohne.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Das macht es fuer mich und auch fuer Gromit interessanter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Oft geht auch mein Mann mit uns. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Er unterstuetzt mich in all meinen Bemuehungen und ich hoffe das ich in der Zukunft auch viel mehr Aktivitaeten mit ihm machen kann.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Klar tut mir dies und das weh, aber das war zu erwarten und da heisst es einfach weitermachen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich bin sicher das es besser werden wird.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing is for sure...it takes a lot of time right now to get all the "What food has how many point" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thing down. My biggest problem still is figuring out how many points dishes have that we cook here at home. If my husband cooks, and he cooks a lot, I never have a clue. Often it's pure guess work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Eins ist mal sicher....man braucht einige Zeit um all die "Was hat wieviel Punkte"Geschichte auszutuefteln. Mein groesstes Problem ist bisher noch immer die Punkte in selbstgekochten Gerichten zu ermitteln.Wenn mein Mann kocht, und er kocht viel, dann ist es noch schwieriger.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Oftmals muss ich das fast erraten.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
With most days in my work schedule working late, I somewhat get around home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cooking for the whole family. Not a solution, but it works right now and takes some of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
extra stress and frustration off . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Da ich die meisten Tage Spaetschicht arbeite umgehe ich das Problem des Familienessens oftmals einfach . Keine Loesung, das ist mir schon klar, aber im Moment ist es so um einiges stressfreier .</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure that it will get much easier with time and when I get more familiar with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everything. I want to stay away from already prepared food as much as possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's just too much nasty stuff in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm already making my own soups and freeze them portioned, ready to take to work .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich bin sicher das all das mit der Zeit einfacher wird. Auf jeden Fall will ich mich von Fertiggerichten fernhalten. Die enthalten einfach zu viel Mist.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Mittlerweile koch ich mir meine eigenen Suppen und friere sie in Portionen ein um sie dann mit zur Arbeit nehmen zu koennen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well and this here is my favorite purchase !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A <a href="http://www.sodastream.com/">Sodastream</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all those of you who do not know what this is, it turns your tap water into </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
carbonated water or pop (soda).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always loved mineral water and had to change to flat tap water when I moved to Canada.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buying mineral water was never really an option because it's way too expensive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got the Sodastream in our store I got really excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been drinking pop(Mountain Dew or Coca Cola) and tap water, but pop has always been my favorite. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do NOT drink diet pop at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if I would really crave a coke I could make my own, but surprisingly enough the carbonated water is totally doing it for me and I drink a LOT more water now then I did before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's a step in the right direction for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Und dies here ist mein bester Kauf bisher...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Eine <a href="http://www.sodastream.de/deretail/default.aspx">Sodastream Sprudler</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Fuer alle die es noch nicht kennen, die Maschine macht aus Leitungswasser Sprudel und Brause mit Geschmack ,wie Cola,Ginger Ale und viele mehr.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich hab schon immer gerne Mineralwasser getrunken und musste mich sehr umstellen wie ich nach Canada gezogen bin. Mineralwasser ist hier viel zu teuer fuer die Mengen die ich trinke.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Wie wir die Sodastreammaschienen in unserem Laden bekommen habe war ich echt begeistert.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Bisher habe ich CocaCola, Mountain Dew und Leitungswasser getrunken,wobei Cola immer mein liebstes war.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Also wenn ich nun wirklich eine Cola wollte dann kann ich sie mir mit Sodastream machen, aber ich liebe das einfache Sprudelwasser und trinke sehr viel mehr Wasser wie vorher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich denke das ist doch schon mal ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I made the decision to work on my weight and fitness, again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's no news, you will say, and that's true, since I have dealt with this pretty much since my teenage </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
years. In 2009 I went to Weight Watchers and it worked quiet well for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping track of what and how much you eat and staying within your points range is not easy when you lived off the proper eating "grid" for most of your life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I had lost about 36lbs, but then fell of the wagon and got about half of it back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lately I started to go for regular walks almost every day and I can tell how much out of shape I am. I feel I huff more now than when I was smoking (almost 20 years ago).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it's time to get (more) in shape and loose some of the baggage that I carry around with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, some of it is even mental baggage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of it will help, I'm sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it's maybe my kind of mid life crisis</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(without the drama).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich mich entschlossen wieder an meinem Gewicht und Fitness zu arbeiten.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nun werdet ihr sagen das das ja nichts Neues ist, und das stimmt, da ich damit ja schon seit meiner Jugend 'rummache. 2009 hatte ich ja mal Weight Watchers gemacht was auch ganz gut funktioniert hatte. Das man alles aufschreibt was man so isst und wieviel ist echt wichtig, da man viel zu schnell den Ueberblick verliert. Ich hatte damals 36 lbs verloren und bin dann allerdings vom Wagen gefallen und hab davon ca die Haelfte wieder raufgefuttert.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">In der letzten Zeit bin ich nun fast taeglich mit dem Hund gute 45 min spatzieren gegangen und ich merke wie sehr ich ausser Atem ich gerate. Schlimmer als wie ich noch geraucht hatte( vor fast 20 Jahren)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nun werde ich also fitter werden und einiges meiner extra Pfunde losweren die mir das Leben schwer machen.Ja, und das beinhaltet auch etwas geistigen Ballast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">All das wird helfen,da bin ich sicher!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich glaub fast das dies so etwas wie meine persoenliche Midlife Crisis ist( Ohne das Drama!!)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EIWW6Ll9we0/UCaMpvo7eZI/AAAAAAAAFU8/PLac76mAf2Q/s1600/mini-roses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EIWW6Ll9we0/UCaMpvo7eZI/AAAAAAAAFU8/PLac76mAf2Q/s400/mini-roses.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel I'm ready. Maybe more though then I ever been.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it's because I feel more relaxed about things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a day job I love with a great work environment that makes me feel appreciated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course my husband and boys are 100% behind me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't stress about my online business anymore, just do what I want to do and don't chase my tail anymore trying to please everyone. Non of that was benefiting me at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">I fuehle das jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt gekommen ist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Vielleicht weil ich diese Tage viel relaxter bin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich hab einen Tagesjob mit super Arbeitsklima den ich liebe und wo ich geschaetzt werde fuer das was ich leiste.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Mein Mann und die Jungs stehen natuerlich auch 100% hinter mir!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich mach mir auch keinen Stress mit meinem Online Geschaeft mehr.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich mache wozu ich Lust und Laune hab und jage meinen Schwanz nicht mehr um es jedem recht zu machen. Das hat mir naemlich ueberhaupt nichts gebracht.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I'm doing WW again, but on my own. No meetings, no online membership!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just following the Points Plus system and writing everything down again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The meetings really didn't do it for me because I pretty much know what I'm doing wrong and feel they do not teach you how to eat healthy, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just replace high fat with low/no fat and sugar with artificial sweetner. That might work for many people, but I want more healthy food. More in it's original, unprocessed form. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is the stuff you should eat, not the crap that has 20 ingredients that have nothing to do with the food and are what makes us sick and overweight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not believe in artificial sweetener at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are bad for your gut and just trick your pancreas </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into something that is not happening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel that can't be good! Plus I don't like the taste!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still have my coffee with sugar and half/half because really, that is not what made me overweight !!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now it's back to eating consciously but without depriving myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean meats....not really brain surgery , is it??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More about all of this in my next post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Nun mache ich also wieder WW, aber ohne Gruppentreffen oder online.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich folge einfach dem neuen Points Plus System und schreib alles auf was und wieviel ich ess.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Die Treffen hatten mir nicht viel gebracht, da ich eigentlich weiss was mein Problem ist und ich finde das einem mehr erzaehlt wird wie man Vollfett durch Low/nofett und Zucker mit Suestoff ersetzt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Das klappt sicher fuer viele Leute, aber ich moechte mehr gesunde Nahrung in der natuerlicheren Form essen. Das ist doch was wir essen sollen, nicht Lebensmittle die 20 Zutaten enthalten die nichts mit dem Artikel zu tun haben. Das ist es naemlich was uns uebergewichtig und krank macht.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich benutze auch keinen Suessstoff. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Es ist einfach ungesund fuer Magen und Darm und gauckelt der Bauchspeicheldruese was vor was nicht passiert. Das kann nicht gut sein. Ausserdem mag ich den Geschmack nicht.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Ich werde auch weiterhin meinen Kaffee mit Zucker und Halb/halb trinken, den das hat mich nicht uebergewichtig gemacht.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Also nun wird bewusst gegessen , aufgeschrieben und trotzdem auch noch mal Lieblingsfutter genossen , nur bewusster halt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Obst, Gemuese vollwertig und so unbearbeitet wie moeglich in der urspruenglichen Form, und wissen was wo 'drin ist. Ist doch nicht schwer oder??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">Mehr von alledem in meinem naechsten Blogpost.</span></div>

I spend some time in the last weeks planting a flowerbed in the front of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to wait to finish it because Housing decided to change the siding of the house, but forgot to let us know....well, thanks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Ich habe nun endlich auch mein Blumenbeet vor dem Haus fertig bepflanzt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Leider hat sich das hingezogen da die Argentur die die Haeuser auf der Base verwaltet , die Verkleidung unseres Hauses erneuert hat,allerdings ohne uns vorher davon zu informieren....na, vielen Dank!!</span></div>

I have not made butter cake in ages so I checked out some recipes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of the <a href="http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/">Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes</a> because it makes using yeast dough so easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was looking for a dough that would work for the butter cake, but wasn't sure what to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While google-ing the net I found a<a href="http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/211101088519728/Butterkuchen.html"> German recipe</a> that looked promising and easy to make.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What can I say....it worked out very well and the cake was delicious !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Was soll ich sagen....der Kuchen war echt einfach zu machen und hat klasse geschmeckt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here now the recipe:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
250 ml milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 tbsp dry active yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
75 gram sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
375 gram flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 egg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a dash of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
75 gram melted butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>For the top:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 gram butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 gram sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a bit of cinnamon( optinal)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
40 gram sliced almonds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warm milk to lukewarm, add yeast, melted butter, egg, salt, sugar and flour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix until well combined and dough separates easily from the sides of the bowl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spread immediately onto cookie sheet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my German cookie sheet (42x30 cm/ 17x11inches) but you can use a smaller one as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dough will just be higher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let the dough raise on the cookie sheet for about 30 min.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the 30 min, melt half of the butter for the top and brush it onto the dough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
add rest of the butter in little bits all over the dough,sprinkle with sugar(cinnamon)and sliced almonds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake at 190C/370 F for about 20-25 min or until golden brown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Hier nun das Rezept:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">250 ml Milch</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our son, who's a member of the local Air Cadets and Air Cadets Band was suppose to play with the band for the Prime Minister, but officials changed the their mind last minute and they were send to the back of the crowds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very disappointing for the kids !!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure that Mr. Harper would not have minded to hear them play, even if they are not perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has children and he is a musician as well who would appreciate their effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Unser Sohn gehoert zu den Air Kadetten und der Kadetten Band und sollte eigentlich fuer den Prime Minister spielen. Leider wurden die Plaene in der letzten Minute geaendert und die Kinder wurden ganz nach hinter geschickt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Wirklich schade fuer die Kinder die doch ganz stolz waren das sie fuer den PM spielen wuerden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Ich bin sicher das Mr. Harper die Kinder gerne gehoert haette. Er ist selber ein Musiker und hat Kinder und haette haette sich auch ueber eine nicht 100% perfekte Presentation gefreut.</span></div>
