by Ken Yeager

Bobbie Sheehan Mauch may come to regret her last comment to me but here goes…Another Sunday in North Germany.

My subject today is the city of Hamburg. Now I suppose just about everything you may want to know about Hamburg is available through Wikipedia, but living here (or at least nearby) [...]

SUNDAY IN GERMANY: Celebrating 30th Wedding Anniversary

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:14:08 +0000

by Ken Yeager

The sun is shining for the moment…. it won’t last too long as more showers are predicted. It has been one hell of a lousy summer here in north Germany…..if we could have swapped rainy days for sunny days, then the summer would have been normal…. but what is normal for [...]

Sunday In Germany: I Hate Gardening

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 14:44:57 +0000

by Ken Yeager

As I look out the door or window of our winter-garden (a glassed enclosed, heated part of the house) I see my wife’s small rose garden, her geranium boxes lining the steps of the winter-garden to the terrace, and the bushes and trees that surround the grassy area of our yard. [...]

Yeager’s Sunday Morning Rant

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 15:09:03 +0000

by Ken Yeager

The site has been pretty quiet so I thought I’d add something to read, boring as it may be.

OK, the white asparagus season has hit Germany again, this year a bit early due to the warmer-than-expected weather in May. Plus, some farmers are now heating their fields with underground water [...]

Sunday In Germany: Homeless

Kenneth R. Yeager — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:11:05 +0000

by Ken Yeager

HOMELESS - I am a homeless person. Wait, don’t misunderstand me, I have a place to live, a retirement pension, a wife to go to, and am quite comfortable in our house. But I am still homeless.

Let me explain. I was at a political meeting several evenings ago and upon [...]

Sunday In Germany: Where in the world is everyone?????

Kenneth R. Yeager — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:27:20 +0000

by Ken Yeager

It’s too cold to be at the beach so everyone who can must be off skiing or partaking of some such winter activity. Me? I’m just trying to stay indoors and warm, counting the days until I can unhook the trickle charger from my beloved motorcycle and hit the road. So [...]

Sunday In Germany: Frankfurt – Ken’s Summer Prattle.

Kenneth R. Yeager — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:28:25 +0000

By Ken Yeager

As I write this, there are 24 days left in the U.S. Government’s fiscal year. That means that I am in Frankfurt helping to send your tax dollars in support of the U.S. Department of State and numerous other Government agencies stationed outside of the U.S.A. It also means that in [...]

Sunday In Germany: Sylt Vacation

Kenneth R. Yeager — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:32:41 +0000

By Ken Yeager

OK, the sun is shining and the temperatures are predicted to be in the 70’s, so for north Germany it is warm. Today we had lunch on terrace under our umbrella….white asparagus, boiled potatoes, a slice of cooked ham and a slice of katenschinken, melted butter, bottled water, a very nice [...]

Sunday In Germany

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:36:23 +0000

By Ken Yeager

Wow ! I am shocked that no one is posting anything on this blog lately. What happened? I stopped contributing because I thought no one was reading my nonsense (and understandably so). But all of a sudden, quiet…..one could hear a pin drop.

OK, some disagreement but hey, it’s over [...]

Sunday In Germany: Welcome to Burundi

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 11:20:37 +0000

By Ken Yeager

While many of you, I know, have traveled outside of the U.S., most of your trips have been, I would guess, to Europe, perhaps South America and I know for certain, Southeast Asia. But how many of you have been to Africa? When I say Africa, I am referring to that [...]

Sunday morning, February 21, 2010 – Grosshansdorf Germany

Most of you are still asleep as I write this Sunday morning missive and probably you’re got bored and thus sleepy from reading my previous input(s) if you took the time and nothing better to do. One nice thing about a blog [...]

It’s Sunday Again!!!

Well, it’s Sunday again….funny how it rolls around ever week or so. North Germany is still being punished by snow with no let-up in slight…..We have more snow that Vancouver….I’d ship them some but the cost would be outrageous.

My wife, Gisela, who at the moment is [...]

Sunday In Germany: Lessons from Saigon, Books, Newspapers, TV, Diets and Web Sites

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:38:26 +0000

By Ken Yeager

Well, it’s Sunday again, the snow finally stopped but it is cold and gray outside and I am warm inside with absolutely no intention of venturing outside to do anything.

So what shall we talk about today and why am I doing this? One reason for doing this, I suppose, is [...]

Sunday In Germany By Ken Yeager

This missive is written only for those that have nothing better to do. You are warned!!!

It’s Sunday morning here in Großhansdorf (that ß is a double “S” in German) and I’ve just come in from cleaning the snow off the sidewalk leading to the [...]

Sunday In Germany By Ken Yeager

Good Morning Saigon Kids where ever you may be.

OK, it is Sunday morning, the dishes are done and I am sitting here typing this note/letter/epistle/tome/whatever. My wife tells me it is -11ºC ( 12.2ºF ) outside and I wish I was with Sarah Bush in Hawaii, [...]
