[ This cute canary bird blazed the trail to the clarinette concert Captain Luis and I attended during our "mama-and-son-Saturday".

"A Journey around the World with the Mouse" inculded both classical and modern pieces:
1.) Robert Schumann: From Foreign Lands and People (Germany)
2.) The Beatles: Let it Be (Great Britain)
3.) H. Both: Manhattan-Rag (USA)
4.) H. Both: Tango (Spain)
5.) W.A. Mozart: Divermento No 4 (Austria)
6.) L. Denza: Funiculi Funicula (Italy)
7.) Macedonian Folksong (Macedonia)
8.) J. Brahms: Hungarian Dance No 5 (Hungaria)
9.) Klezmer Piece (Israel)
10.) P.I. Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake (Russia)
11.) Hava Nagila (Hebrew Folksong)

The concert was most suitable for kids, especially because it was storied by poems, cute jokes and short stories. Luis and I both enjoyed it lots. ]

[ Twice a year the grandparents are invited to spend the afternoon with their grandkids at the kindergarten. Miss Elli and Papili greatly appreciated the invitation to their first "Grandparents Day". The kids of the penguin group Luis belongs to baked a cherry pie and the participating grandparents were asked to teach games they used to play back in the days they were kindergartenkids themselves. Since my parents were born 1944 (Papili) and 1946 (Miss Elli) they did never visit a kindergarten, but nonetheless they had lots of games of their childhood to share with the kids.
Thereafter MaPa and the kids enjoyed said cake, coffee (for the addults) and cocoa (for the kids).

Of course I was very happy for my thrilled Captain Luis and my excited parents - all the more it took my breath away I had to inform them about a shocking experience: Once again Frank had to take our little princess Lily to the ER. Our nerves were on the edge until Frank finally called and told us he and Lily were on their way back home.
We will have to wait what the night will bring...

Until then I thank you for your thoughts, prayers, supportive mails and comments on my FB.
We will keep you updated. xoxo ]

[Photo was taken at Luis' Kindergarten, right before the lantern procession in honor of St. Martin started.]

St. Martin’s Day is celebrated in the evening of November 11th in Germany.

If my little wacky little brain doesn’t play tricks on me, Belgium (the dutch-speaking Flanders), some parts of the Netherlands and Austria do also celebrate tonight. on the procession where kids hold paper laterns and sing songs about St. Martin. A man dressed as St. Martin 8in our case: a 7 y.o. boy) rides on a horse in front of the procession.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we also joined our friends celebrating Remembrance Day and observed a moment of silence… as we reflected on what we have got and remembered those who sacrified themselves. For our freedom.
