Last week was my birthday. I never plan anything big or expect very much. My birthday has been landing right around back-to-school in the last few years. It just seems to be a little bit busier at that time. I am happy with dinner with the family and a few people I definitely consider family.
We had a great dinner. It was Taco Tuesday so we went with it. My husband made some great street tacos and a yummy chocolate buttermilk cake.
To my surprise I also got a few very thoughtful gifts from my kids. A bouquet of flowers and a yummy chocolate mousse cake from my oldest and his best friend. I got a great Snoopy holiday blanket from my son and son-in-law. I got this picture from my youngest son and his friends.
This picture comes with a long story. My great grandmother, Grandma Haser used to recite this short poem in German to me. I would hold out my hand and she would say these words and tickle the palm of my hand. I am pretty sure she didn’t get many of the actual word right. She came over from Germany when she was about 4 years old. If you ask her she would say she didn’t even know what it ment. She just knew it from what was told to her.
I have fond memories of those times. It was a VERY long time ago. I have been wondering what those words ment and have been searching for them for a very long time.
My sons have always heard this story and the details have been fading. So, my youngest found it online and had a good friend of his translate it into German.
This will be one of my very best treasures. It is accompanied by some of my very best memories.
