Half-timbered houses of the Schwarzwald

I received this card with the beautiful

half-timbered houses that are typical

of the Black Forest region of Germany.

I have always loved these houses. When we were

in Germany, we visited the Black Forest and

the town of Triberg. It was wonderful!

The card was sent to me by a new Postcrosser,

Janett, who lives in Kirchdorf, Germany.

She wrote her postcard in German, which I loved.

She says that she is married and has two children.

She also said, 'Momentan sike ich neben unseren Weihnachts

baum und geniesse die Ruhe, denn die kinder schlafen schoen.'

(At the moment, I am sitting near our Christmas tree

and enjoying the peace, as the children are sleeping.')

I hope I translated that right!

Thank you, Janett, for the beautiful card

and the beautiful 'word picture' of your Christmas

evening.

These pretty stamps brought my Schwarzwalder

card to San Antonio.
