The BMW Arrived

We picked up the BMW today. No dents or scratches. YEAH!
I'm still unemployed and the house in Texas is still on the market. And we still haven't found a house here in Germany. Oh well, we've only been here 2 weeks.

take care and keep on knitting

Their moving and they are taking the cat.

Just when I finely get a photo of the cat on the roof, I notice a lot of movement in the apartment across the street. They were moving out. I watched the cat, watch them. That’s probably why I was able to take photos of the cat walking on the roof. The cat was too interested in what they were doing in the apartment.
With the cat gone, what on earth will I watch out the window?

I got yarn

Tom called a little while ago and asked me to go to the German bank and get some money to pay the landlord. Seems he had forgotten. Being the nice wife that I am, I agreed. On the way there I passed by a store with YARN on sale. It's not a yarn store, it looks more like CVS or Walgreens, but it had yarn. So, I got Toms money and a little for me.

I can't read the package, but I don't care. I can work up the gauge and figure it all out.

YEAH! I got yarn.

Still bored in Landstuhl

Once again I’m bored. No job, and the house in Texas is still on the market.
On the other hand, there’s a great view from our temp apartment patio. It’s the impressive castle ruin Burg Nanstein. We haven’t been able to drive up there yet so the photos were taken with my telephoto lens. Tom has offered to let me have the rental car so I can drive around, but I'm just not confortable driving in Germany yet.

Because I'm so bored, I spend a lot of time looking out the windows of the apartment, mostly watching the traffic 4 floors below, but recently I've taken to watching the cat in the apartment across the street. The owners open the window and the cat walks out the window, onto the roof and walks all over the tops of the buildings. Every time I try to get a photo, that cat disappears. I swear it's magic! So for the past few days I've kept the camera by the window, just in case. I wanted to get a photo the cat walking on the roof.

That cat is smart. It just stood in the window watching me. I swear it's true, that cat watches me watch him/her. I did get a photo of the cat in the window. Look closely at the windown in the middle of the photo. Ever since I read the "cat who" books, I've wondered if there really were smart cats. This one proves that cats are smarter that we give them credit for. And every time I see the cat, it's watching me. This cat even looks intelligent. Her/His eyes follow you from window to window.

Even Tom is amazed at this cat and he’s not a cat lover. He even mentioned that we might get a cat if we could get one that smart.
