Hubby and I spent our 34th anniversary on a long weekend in Berlin. We saw the musical, Dirty Dancing… Wow, it was better than the movie. The weekend was a present from our sons and wives and my brother. Hubby was the sweetest. Maybe, maybe, oh hopefully the leaf has turned.

Berlin is an amazing city; a combination of New York, and Toronto. We took a boat ride along the banks of spectacular buildings. The World Athletics took place while we were there. So much was going on! All the wide avenues were closed to traffic. We walked miles from morning to night. I feel we were gone for weeks. It was so good in so many ways.

Have you ever been to a city that knocked you off your feet? Berlin did that to me. Or maybe it was because Hubby and I reconciled, or just everything combined. Anybody else's partner need a talking to? I'll send my DIL. She works wonders. wink

How wonderful to hear this. I'm so happy for you, EW....maybe hubby has evolved! I read something written by Janice Taylor (NABBW weight guru) just yesterday that we need to evolve...

EVOLVE! (Don't just improve.) Improve means to do something better. Evolve, however, means that you permanently and fundamentally change a part of who you are.


Do you love this or what? Again, I've very happy that hubby is looking at you once again as his best friend.

No matter what it was, EW, I'm glad it 'knocked you off your feet!' Everyone needs revivals like that. Wink,wink... hope the hubby maintains. We could talk... and from me, too: Happy anniversary!

EW, congratulations!
Will we be seeing pictures?
I love Berlin. When I lived in Fulda we would take monthly trips to Berlin to visit friends stationed there. It truly is an amazing city!

Hugs,
Cindy

JJ..what wise words, and they really apply to my situation. Yes, yes, I think your're right. Hubby has evolved...and he's still evolved!

How neat that Dee,(was fascinated by your story about visitng Berlin!), and Diamond have been to Berlin too! So you know what I'm talking about. The quality of our pictures were lousy because we took them with our cell phone, didn't want to lug our heavy camera around.

Not much time today. "A" is coming for 4 overnights. yahoo.

Berlin actually bears sad memories for me, EW. It was where my Dad suffered a heart attack from which he never recovered. I'm glad you enjoyed it though and I sift through happier and thrilling memories of my visits to Berlin. One of which would have to be getting picked up by car from Zoo and "smuggled" into East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie. LOL!

Whaaat? Are you joking? Did you really get smuggled into East Berlin?

I'm so sorry to hear that your Dad suffered a heart attack in Berlin. I can see how that association would dim any place.
