Hi all, Well then I'll start: As a child, cats and dogs followed me. But we couldn't keep pets in my family. So my husband gave me a dog right at the start of our marriage because we had to have a weekend marriage for three months because of his professional training. I was so homesick that he didn't want to leave me alone. After our dog, who had to be put down in 1990 when he was 17, I got a tomcat by "accident"; a previous owner had already called him "Peterli" to whom he had been given, but didn't get along with her existing tomcat. The artist who drew a very nice poster to display for him was a fellow singer from my gospel choir who was sitting next to me. At first I just wanted the beautiful drawing, but I immediately got the cat. He was with us for 13 years and we trained him to use a harness so that we could take him on vacation trips. Then he became very ill, had surgery, it went on for another 2 years, then the cat cancer broke out again and the area could no longer be operated on. We then got the second black and white tomcat from our cat protection association, my husband named him “Cicero”. Unfortunately our sick Peterli didn't like that and ran away. 14 days later I was able to catch him again nearby, emaciated. It was with a heavy heart that we had him euthanized at home in the hot August of 2005. Cicero, who we called "Rambo" because of his impetuous nature, was also used to being on a leash and went on vacation with us (usually on farms in Bavaria, Allgäu or Black Forest). Unfortunately, he only lived to be 2 years old. In 2007, in another hot April, we found him dead on a road embankment near us after a long search. Now my husband no longer wants pets because he finds it difficult to cope with the death of a pet again. I would like to have both again, also because of the exercise. But I don't want to surprise my husband and I respect his attitude

Hello, my dears, I hope I'm making this announcement in the right place. Perhaps the rose-loving German or European members of the campus would be interested in experiencing a parade with a rose queen elected every two years and many themed floats made of rose petals. We already experienced this in 2006, here is my current Alphascrap from the DS forum. I have the link to Steinfurth for you in English, but you can also set it to German at the top right. https://www.bad-nauheim.de/en/discover/festivals-and-events/rose-festival There is also a memorial stele in Bad Nauheim for Elvis Presley, who was stationed there as an US Army soldier in the late 1950s.

Happy 75th birthday, dear Corrie🌷🐞, and I wish you a safe trip✈️, lots of fun 🤩and a healthy return🙌.

Hi Bina, A journalist was lost because of you. Or do you work for a magazine? In any case, I'm pleased that you've invested such a long text in the German language and especially the dialect around Berlin😘. But what do you like about the boring houses and the prefabricated buildings for a private album? But everything is the typical Bina journal style 😁. But I like that you decorate sparingly and the photos get the main attention.👍

Sorry, I couldn't find any English. Flower names with R except rose, so another German flower name with translation 😉 Rittersporn = Larkspur

Thank you Carole, I saved it in German and will try it and comment here again whether it worked. Wish you a nice Sunday. We suddenly have summery weather here. But it has already rained enough.🌞

M = Marigold = Ringelblume

Hi Carole and Members, when I created my scrap "SoFi 99" I had a round overexposed area. Now I remembered the tip in the campus blog about eliminating light reflections on glasses. Now I would like to ask whether there is a way in PSP to make an overexposed area in a photo "matt" again or to adjust it to the surrounding colors. Probably falls into the image editing category. Or has this question already been answered in Q&A?

F = Fuchsia

My total solar eclipse experience in 1999☀️😎 SOFI= Sonnenfinsternis = solar eclipse

Happy Easter all, and thank you for your help and interest💝

These delicious looking chocolate rings remind me of our gingerbread hearts during Advent, also with jelly in them 😋

F = Fastnachtsküchle come in several forms and often resemble small "Berliners"

Hi Michele, this reminds me of the famous photo of Man Ray. Well done, only now a man is lending his back as a cello 😉 https://image.kurier.at/images/cfs_932w/6918777/46-186805116.jpg
