Happy 4th of July

We had a three day weekend which was really nice. I love that holidays get observed on the Friday before or the Monday after the holiday if it falls on the weekend.
On Saturday we got up early to watch the Germany game, which was a real pleasure. Then we did some grocery shopping at the farmers market, the German store and our local grocery market. In the afternoon I went to the day spa and got a pedicure, a manicure and my eye brows threaded. It's so relaxing if somebody else pampers you ;-)

Sunday morning I baked a strawberry cake and in the afternoon and evening we went to two parties. Unfortunately the weather wasn't playing along, the fog came in and it was really cold. We couldn't see much of the fireworks, but it was still a lot of fun catching up with old friends.

Yesterday we slept in, finally. For lunch we BBQ-ed some burgers and corn in our garden.
Gerald worked in the afternoon and I made peach jam from peaches of our garden.



There are still many peaches left on the tree, so I have to make more jam during the week.

And last but not least a new picture of me
