I GOT MY BOOK!!!!!!

Thank you Monika and Bonnie and all others that helped to bring this great book to us,Thank you Thank you!!!



Now don't mind me if I'm very quite for awhile,SSSSHHHHHH I'm reading.


Monika,My DW(monica) already has said we are going to Germany,LOL

My books came today also. Haven't had a chance to look at the translation yet. Had to buy that new washer so I could do laundry. Later tonight, you won't be hearing a word out of me.......that will be a switch, won't it?

Thanks so much to everyone involved in getting this book and it's translation to us. Jeanne, can you teach German?

No, Brugie, my German isn't very good. Monika translated from German to English and I rewrote parts of it to make the English more understandable. In German the verbs go at the end of the sentence etc. There is a big difference in the grammar.

Well, I tried!! I'd love to learn German but I hear it is really hard to speak. Maybe I better just plug away with a translator when I need one. Ludger and Monika do a great job speaking English.

Where is my book!?! Root you are so lucky, I can't wait to get mine.

I am waiting on the second box of translations.

Thank you Shirley

I can't wait to get mine? tiG, can you tell me if mine's left yet?

no, I'm waiting on the second box of translations. I'm hoping it will come on in. will have to talk to monica about what I can do if it doesn't come very very soon. I'm so sorry some of you are having to wait, we had no idea the second box would get sidetracked. they were mailed the same day.

You mean I've been sitting by the mailbox in the rain for nothing??? (*grin*)

Such is life---I'll just be SO glad to get mine, whenever! But as a consolation, I have a Suaveolens Pink in bloom in the kitchen right now.

you're doing better than me!! I don't have a thing blooming. I promise the minute they get here, the rest of the first order will go out.

Bonnie, I asked at the post office and they told me that even SIX weeks would be normal.

thanks for that info monika, I'm sure they will be here soon.

I can tell about waiting.....one day I waited about 8 weeks for a parcel from oversea...

One day - 8 weeks? You're too cute! Grateful for your input and expertise! LOL.

Sorry, I will buy a new dictionary:

eines Tages adv ( irgendwann )one day

it means:sometime or once or recently I waited 8 weeks for a parcel

Sorry again for this missunderstanding

Ludger, I speak only English and it's just the kind of thing I would have said. Don't buy a new dictionary, you're doing wonderful.

No - don't buy a dictionary. It just struck me as a cute saying - no insult intended!

Smile,ok.

I want to thank everyone involved in this undertaking.I love my book!

That said..here's a little story that will maybe help those waiting for their books.

I have relatives in Norway with small children.I always send a package for Christmas.Well,I had to use 2 boxes one year because of the size of some things.They were mailed on the same day and at the same time.One arrived 4 days before Christmas...the other arrived 3 weeks later.

Moral to story...never pack a box of children's presents in two seperate boxes...unless,everyone has a present in each box.

Good words,smile

Have you heard anything yet?

no, we have another week to put them still in the correct time frame. I will post the minute they come, or monika and I will work something out.
