Where is Cute Potatoe?

Cute Potato Family Reunion

Cute Potato loves to sing around the supper table! and tell a few (farfetched) yarns.  With song in their hearts, and more than a few tales in mind, a Spuds Family Reunion was held in Cute Potatoes honor.

Grand Mutter Edeltraut shared her recipe for a good life : Laughter (and reminded Cute Potatoe to always eat her greens).

Cousin Arnold just returned from an outer space mission and had more than a few of his own (ahem, out of this world) tales to tell.

 

When they came together in the Buffet line, it was easy to see the family resemblance and that made everyone so happy that they forgot their manners and broke into a wild dance.  Cute Potatoe taught the group some fancy dance moves before Grand Mutter Edeltraut settled them all down.

Cute Potatoe really liked playing Pin the Curly Tail on the Golden Pig. 

 

Honey Bear gave Cute Potatoe a gigantic kiss and a hug.

As Dieter waved good bye to Cute Potatoe, he whispered,

Laughter and joy, friends and family,

you know how I feel...

LUCKY STAR

I'm not sure how Cute Potatoe ended up going to my old address BUT ...***good news***...  as she arrived to-day, Beate & Jacq!  It had me a trifle worried.  I think there is a very nice mailman in Kentucky who sent Cute Potatoe on the right path. 

Cute Potatoe asked me to say she had a fun time on her whirlwind mailing trip as she heard some juicy stories from some of the other packages.  Some of them made her laugh.  One of the packages was in German and it reminded her fondly of her Mama Beate (Küsse, Küsse to Mutter) and her home. 

Cute Potatoe should be in Kentucky

Cute Potatoe should have arrived in Kentucky today (6th). I sent her Priority mail a few days ago. Perhaps the post office will forward her to you, Madeline.

Moved!

Woe is me!  I moved.  Before you mail Cute Potato please e-mail me for my new address

because I am not in Kentucky anymore.  Cute Potato will get cold and lonely sitting in the dead package corner of the post office.

Columbia River

The other day we went for a walk by the Columbia River. The weather was very cold so we didn't stay long. Jacq has been preparing for me to leave Longview and I will continue on my journey tomorrow. My next stop will be with Madeline in Kentucky.

Merry Christmas

Gingerbread House

Today we went over to Jacq's daughters home to work on a gingerbread house. I was able to give them some great tips on how gingerbread houses are made in Germany. The above picture is Jacq's grand daughter Molly and Jacq's mother who is 91 years old.

So Much To Do

On Saturday we went to the town of Castle Rock and had lunch with friends. There were a few people eating stuffed baked potatoes, needless to say I stayed far away from them. After eating we sang some Christmas songs, I am learning the English words.


Today we picked up Jacq's mother and went to church. There are four generations of their family that go to this church and Jacq's son-in-law is the pastor. The picture of me is in front of the Advent wreath. We spent the afternoon sewing on Christmas projects and also had a little nap. I wonder what is going on at home in Germany and how Beate is doing?

Cute Potatoe in the Pacific Northwest

I have arrived today in Longview, WA. It was a quick trip from Ohio and I was very glad to get out of my traveling box. It looks like everyone is getting ready for Christmas. This afternoon we are baking cookies and this evening we will be going to look at the Christmas lights. Tomorrow we are out to lunch with friends. There are also many gifts to be wrapped. Hopefully I will be able to get some rest as I am a little jet lagged.

at long last

First off, apologies to everyone who if following Cutie Potato's voyage around the world. My life has gotten very complicated since I got back with her from Kentucky. My husband has been in and out of the hospital four times due to complications from the surgery he had when CP & I got back on November 1st. I've been caring for him along with still working at the hospital full time. I did have her out & ready to do more with her journal when I got a message. I'm so sorry.
----------------------------


I'm on my last few days here in Ohio. My hostess has ignored me for over a month while she is taking care of her ill husband, but I've had the opportunity to visit with a few of these great new friends here. We didn't get to do anything on Thanksgiving as my hostesses spent all day driving back and forth from the hospital. We didn't even get to eat any turkey or pumpkin pie!





Then I met my hostesses Scotties. They are adorable. At first, I was afraid they thought I was some sort of dog toy, but after one sniff from Frodo, everyone realized I wasn't a threat at all. I even got to take a nap with the two girls, Fiona and Arwen. But I must admit that they DO have some awfully big teeth for such small dogs!


In the next couple of days, I'll be heading off to Washington to spend my Christmas holiday there.

Where is Cute Potatoe?

Please tell me/us where she is!!!
