It’s fun to make use of every Fest! I believe in having fun in a world in which work takes so much time of your day. I am German through and through that way:-))

When one of my father’s employees wanted a day of because of a wine fest, he used to say, “If you can party all night, you can also work all day.” They would still get the day off, if it was possible.
I like to turn this around and claim, “If you can work all day, you can also party…. …as long as you can.”

Partying, dancing and singing, also drinking is fun when the towns and villages get together for their fest.

And then there are:
All women breakfasts
Carneval
Men meetings (in a pub)
country women (or / men) lunches…
Advent fun in front of (a little) town hall
Christmas markets on weekends…

And still, people work in Germany too. :) )
Unless they are unemployed, which is NO fun in Germany!!!

Thanks for the information, which was new to me. I have never been to the original Oktoberfest in Munich. In Worms, we have the Backfischfest. Nine tough days when you’re young and you don’t want to miss a day!!! I used to be one of them! Long ago!!!

Check it out here.

Seize the day….it is sunny here in Maine…no warm, but not as freezing as it has been!
It’s a great day!
Hilu

Legend of The Cold Shoulder

Unbelievable but hilarious. Who would have thought! Keep ‘em coming, although I guess it’s not quite herbals but…. we appreciate your research…. these vignettes make history much more real.. not just us in different costumes.

We’re really pleased with the rosemary solution as a flea chaser for our cats. They love the attention since it seems to last about half a week so they get rubdowns twice a week. but it’s so safe and so body friendly… and it works so well for those 3-4 days at the concentration that I’m using, even on our little white flea magnet… no more nerve toxins from the vet since we’d tried just about EVERY OTHER natural remedy we came across on google and on cat websites.. Rosemary is a gem. With some persistence in mopping the wood/tile floors with the non-toxic flea growth disrupter, we figure we can get rid of those troublemakers eventually. In the meantime the cats love the rub down and it’s good for them and they’re free of fleas while we diminish the new fleas hiding *somewhere* on cat hiding places.
