And finally...

.... I am removing this dark cloud that's been hoovering over my blog for quite some time now.  I have not shaken what took possession of me, however, whatever it is is not as heavy on my shoulders anymore for some reason.  So, without further ado and much thanks to Lewis and my sister who probably added a few gray hair over this, I present to you another video from my trip.  Would have shared with you sooner, but the days in Berlin were just crazy and somehow much shorter than they are over here.  After my arrival back home (you know, Hotlanta), the videos didn't play with the sound and adding another program didn't help either and my sister then just cut this one again (today) from the original video.  She is so good to me ;-) 

Hopefully, this video will change the dark and somewhat sad mood on my page.  Is that possible, you think?  I am giving that ole chemistry set a kick... give you all a big smile.. a virtual kiss... and say "thanks for hanging in there with me!!!!"   tons of kisses from me to you, my fine friends

  3. Curt.. yes, Lewis and my sister hung in there with the video cutting and trying to upload to youtube and stuff.. it was just crazy how it wouldn't want to work..lol.. the cloud removal.. well, that's just on me.. nobody can or should help me with that.. i am just "silly" like that ;-) and I am still smiling for you becoming a grandpa..whoo hoo...

  4. How wonderful... absolutely captivating. The church of St. Peter and Paul, was it? - Gorgeous, so breathtakingly beautiful... Loved the wooden shoes, as my home town has strong Dutch heritage, so tulips, windmills and wooden shoes are everywhere... Thank you so much for taking us along... In places it was hard for me to watch, as I so wanted to be with you - the sights and sounds and history would be intoxicating to me - no need for the alcoholic drinks. Then, add in you being there, and it does not get much better than that. Potsdam is where Stalin, FDR and Churchill met to discuss plans for the post-WWII world near the end of that war... Sigh - just fabulous stuff... like you.

  7. tom.. you brushed up on history, i see ;-) You know what's sad though? Potsdam used to belong to the East and unfortunately, their government body did not believe in spending money on restorations.. Many of the old castles and parks have been neglected for far too long and sadly (you will see that in one of the next videos i will post), today's politicians shift priorities away from our old history. A new hope, perhaps is coming.. the young Prince Georg von Preussen has moved back to Berlin, including some family members and maybe.. just maybe, he feels compelled to do something about his family history.. sure would be neat to see all the old Preussen back in its wonderful glory... Sure would make queen Luise smile and Napoleon turn in his grave..ha..

    My Addiction.. you've got me speechless for a moment.... and yes.. i will read your blogs today and catch up.. you are just too good to me ;-)

    Michael.. nice to see you over here.. i did have a wonderful time over there...keep coming back as i will do my best in sharing the rest of the videos ;-)

  8. Liane, so glad you were able to go as planned, some things just work out exactly as they should, yes? I'm certain your sister loved having your bubbly and positive self in her direct physical realm for those few weeks, sometimes being around someone so solution oriented and fun... makes all the difference in the world...

    You do that for a lot of people, share of yourself so generously...

    I watched the video the day you put it up... I enjoyed the rooftop restuarant, the shopping, honey tasting... the church.. What a great day...

    Now that we're out of our funks.... what trouble shall we cause? xoxoxoxo

  9. Mary.. good morning... up already?? ;-) what trouble shall we cause? let me think how we can get in "long-distance" trouble together ;-) LOL .. perhaps i shall look at my Delta-offers ;-) (i know i am scarring you with that, don't i? lol)

  10. I brushed up on history? Pshaw you... I live History... does not hurt that I have been alive for so much of it (though I don't go back to WWII). So much of what is wrong with government, especially of the liberal variety (if I can go there...) is that they like to ignore history, make believe the past does not exist and make up present circumstances to fit their agendas, and can continue in all their idiocy... I ramble. When can we expect the next edition of the video journal?

  12. I'll look at the video later, but what's more important is that darkness lifting in YOU ... the page is not a reflection of you .... but the darkness and confusion was worrying to see ... so glad the light is starting to find a way through

  14. Liane, you've got a face, body, legs, feet, and toes made for the camera. The tour was a bit lackluster but you more than made up for it. I thought y'all pulled off a pretty good tourist hyjinx by taking that picture in the Cathedral of Peter, Paul, and Mary. Glad you got a pic of your sister in there. She did a good job of filming. Tell her happy anniversary (is that an oxymoron?) Next trip you must take me and let me get pie-eyed with ya on ice cream. Glad ya got this 3rd installment in. Phibs, kiss Priss
