I just got a wonderful fabulous early Christmas present today. I was so surprised, didn't know what could be in that package from Switzerland. Dear Gwist sent me a copy of Monika's book!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly fell over.
Gwist, dear friend, it is beautiful and I just can't thank you enough. Monika, even when I can't read a word, it's the best book I've ever had. thank you for all the hard work it took putting it together.
gonna be busy
You lucky lady! Hope to get one, but sure would like to have it in English. If that doesn't happen soon, I'm going to get one in German and then one in English later. I can just say I needed one for each end of the coffee table. :-)
Tig, it is a great book. Get your German translator out and get busy. Don't you just drool over some of those plants? They have been growing them a little longer than we have. Where were we while they were breeding these beautiful plants? Brugs never were mentioned or even came up in discussion until about 8 years ago when I saw my first brugs in New Orleans.
I was so excited I thought for a minute some of the words made sense!! but a lot comes from the info monika has shared here, so that helped!
You are a lucky lady. What a nice surprise.
Wow tiG! What a wonderful present.You sure are lucky.I can just imagine the beautiful pictures in it.
What a special surprise that must have been. It was very thoughtful of Gwist to do that. I know that you will enjoy it immensely.
You are very welcome tiG,and Wow that was quick! I realised when I first started learning German,that some of the words made sense to me,too(a bit like english words..but only a bit),but Monika's great info does help :).
Enjoy it,and make sure to wipe the drool off the pages when you are finished,lol,Gwist
tig, i am glad you have the book!
Tig will loose her posting crown.She'll be soooo busy lookin at pictures and gooogling to translate someones gunna steal that crown...
LOL
lol! sometimes it's best to sit back and relax! love being able to look at monikas pictures without searching for them!!! I highly suggest this book even before it's translated, the pictures are well worth it.
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift - you need it now more than ever. Tig you can go to the site below and enter some words or phrases in German to be translated - hope this helps.
