Claudia’s mother Trudi arrived on Sunday from her home in Sandersdorf, north of here, near Leipzig. She will be traveling west with Claudia and Helmut to a town near Stuttgart where they will surprise Trudi’s sister on the occasion of her 80th birthday.
It was such fun finally meeting Trudi. My hosts did a fabulous job of interpreting for us, as we each have to resort to our native language in order to say something longer than a phrase. I’m finding, though, that phrases go quite a ways.
This beautiful bouquet includes a couple items of particular note: the frosted, rosemary-type plant is “curry herb” and the smaller-fronds, dark green one is “olive herb.” They taste amazingly like their namesakes.
Knowing that I am looking forward to exploring some historical Luther sites, Trudi brought something special for me.
