week thirty seven

Another week just flew by...

On Wednesday I met the lovely Frau Haselmayer and Mr. Haselmayer on the Highline in NY. They are in the city for vacation and we thought it would be nice to meet in person. Another online connection turned into a real life one. They were nice enough to bring me some Kracher, a yummy candy I haven't eaten in years. I had totally forgot about them until she posted them on Instagram. I brought them my new favorite bread spread - TJ's cookie butter. (Hope you two like it!)

I also received my giveaway win from Small Talk Studio that was hosted by Marit of Lovely Struck. Need to buy a matching frame and then find a great spot in our house to hang it. Thank you again Marit and Alyssa!

Thursday my parents arrived and "our" cats showed up again in our backyard. P fed them but they only stayed one night to show us they are in good health and left again the next day. I guess mama cat knows I am after two of her kittens ;)

Saturday we spent our afternoon in Central Park with beer and oompha music. It's quite funny that I would have never visited an event like that when I still lived in Germany and now that I do not live there anymore I do. On Sunday we took my parents to an outlet mall, where we shopped till we dropped and ate Hibachi for dinner at our favorite place that we discovered when we still lived at the Jersey Shore. I am not sure what we will do this week but whatever it is we will have fun!

Hope you will enjoy your week as well!

  1. Oh I'm so happy the kittens and their mama are all okay! So sweet they stopped by to visit for a while. Your weekend with your parents sounds great, right up my alley with shopping and hibachi, haha. And yay for meeting blog friends in real life! It's the best, isn't it? So awesome that they brought you candy, too. That reminds me of the logo from a UK snack called Monster Munch.

  2. Also, the captcha to post my comment included the word "titbar." I feel dirty.

  4. Sounds like quite the week. The print and kittens (my how they've grown!) are adorable. You know, we tried to find out about the CP Oktoberfest online- and tickets were sold out :-/ Maybe next year.

  5. I don't think I've ever eaten that candy. I like the Maomix form Maoam, so maybe I'd like those too.
    Yay for the kittens!

    1. It's like the regular Maoam with a sour center. So yummy!

  7. Aw, happy to hear the kittens are all doing ok. Thanks for the update.
    I'm sure you're very busy playing host to your parents. It's great when people come to visit because it inspires/forces you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do.
    Congratulations on winning that beautiful print. It's going to go real nice in your home.
