Easter Brunch at the Ronald Mac Donald House...Berlin Wedding


As many of you know by now, I am a volunteer at the Ronald Mac Donald House in Berlin-Wedding. I just recently celebrated my one year anniversary as a volunteer! Well, at Easter we volunteers prepare a Easter Sunday Brunch for the Families. When I was asked if I would help coordinate the event, I said sure! I was ever so slightly intimated by the thought of preparing a buffet for 40 people...but, I with a great team I had nothing to worry about. On Easter Saturday we diced, sliced and peeled and prepped. Then on Easter Sunday,  I got up at the crack of dawn...picked up the fresh rolls and met Oli and HOlger at the house to set up! The time I spent at the house preparing this event was awesome...we were a great crew and as always, the best was seeing the faces of the families when they came into the dining room and saw the buffet....one dad took pictures of me and my crew, another ran upstairs to get his camera to take pictures of the food! Oliver and I spent some time chatting with the familes....I was lucky enough to meet Romy from Romy´s Helfende Elfen... She is a sweet little girl who received a new heart in 2013. She was back in the hospital due to a lung infection but got to come to the house(where her mom is staying) to enjoy the Sunday Brunch! What a sweet little girl..... and what a courageous mom.

A "Table" full of Easter"Scapes"

Once again I must report that I have been M.I.A.. I am still figuring out how to juggle my job, my home-life and my many, many hobbies! Spring has arrived in Germany and we are so enjoying the awesome weather the Good Lord has blessed us with. Gosh, I hope it stays that way!


Holidays bring out the best of family traditions and one of our favorites seems to be painting! For the second year in a row, my nephew-in-law came to paint. Last year the kitchen and hallway got a much needed makeover, this year the living room! Oh wow, is all I can say. The living room looks great and I am already looking forward to next year, when the gang comes back. My sister and her boyfriend also were here, so needless to say the house was full! The weather was great, the food even better and of course....some wonderful tablescapes came together.




Since my husband did such a good job, making my christmas letters, I had him make some for EAster. This time, though in german! And those eggs-candles, well those came from Nanu Nana. 


Easter Sunday Brunch














Easter Saturday "HAM DINNER ".. Oh so good










Good Friday......grilled salmon







The tablerunner was made my niece´s grandmother. I love that I have something of hers. 











Happy Days Everyone. I look forward to spending time with all of you again.
