Summer Activities

It's about time to give you an idea of what we did throughout summer.
First of all I had four weeks off work this year. Only two of them really count as holidays, though. In the first week I was in Denmark because my grandmother (mormor) deteriorated and I wanted to help my mother to attend her. She died while I was there. We held her in our arms while it happened which was a gift given that we both live several hundred kms away from her in Germany. She was 87, still it makes me soooo sad that she's gone.
From the burial I drove 450 kms home, then we packed the car and I drove 800 more kms through the night until we reached Austria early in the morning. Then Olga drove us to our holiday destination on the isle of Krk in Croatia. There we had two sunny weeks (with three days of rain) and relaxed on the beach where we were last year. This year our appartment was in Silo on the other side of the island and it was big and great. We enjoyed the warm and crystal clear water and relexed as much as possible. I also read many of the books I had on my list. It was fantastic.
Last week Olga had another shoulder surgery because last years surgery after the car accident turned out to be unsuccessful. This time we were sent to a special hospital in Hannover and everything went much better than last year so far. While Olga was in hospital I cleaned up the house and exchanged some furniture. On Monday I went back to work. The kids have three more free weeks and play with their friends all the time. Oh and our ducks have four chicks this year.
In addition to the previews in this post I have uploaded some holiday pictures to this gallery.
