The pictures are beautiful. Viewing the pictures of the cemetery where you grandparents were laid to rest brought back memories of our trip to Europe many years ago. We stayed in Thun, Switzerland, and there was a cemetery right outside our hotel window. We marveled at its beauty!<br /><br />I'm so glad you took all those pictures when you were in Germany. They've made for beautiful memories for you...and we were privileged that you shared them with us!Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-70957140026487405262010-05-18T10:29:35.662-04:002010-05-18T10:29:35.662-04:00i loved tripping down memory lane with you ulrike:...i loved tripping down memory lane with you ulrike:) i love the look of the german cemetaries. now i wouldn't mind visiting departed loved ones in such a setting. so many of our american cemetaries don't allow such plantings! lovely way to honor the deadComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-42849388876128192672010-05-09T09:31:42.932-04:002010-05-09T09:31:42.932-04:00It's always lovely to visit places with warm m...It's always lovely to visit places with warm memories of childhood - I love to go home and just walk around my old village and then along my favorite beaches. I was fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of England where the coast and countryside is amazingly beautiful no matter which direction one goes.<br /><br />The cemetery is so beautifully maintained - never seen one more lovely. You and your cousin looked so happy together. Are you planning another visit soon dear?<br /><br />Leaving Wed. so won't be commenting for a few weeks - see you when I return. Tell Lori I said hello. Take care Ulrike.<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-80524862383501591252010-05-08T15:03:38.211-04:002010-05-08T15:03:38.211-04:00Everything is so beautiful! :) When I return home ...Everything is so beautiful! :) When I return home to see where I went to school and lived as a child - everything has changed.

All the flowers...it was gorgeous!<br />America could learn a lot from that, though in the far south, where there was a lot of European influence, you will occasionally still find the lovely graveyards, filled with flowers.<br />Enjoyed the visual *trip*!!<br /><br />XXOO!!<br />AnneAnne Huskey-Lockardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642632328404951486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-35595197695897308022010-05-06T09:04:17.092-04:002010-05-06T09:04:17.092-04:00Ulrike, thanks for taking us on a trip down memory...Ulrike, thanks for taking us on a trip down memory lane. The gathering area at the school is called "Pausenhof", as in recess area. I remember being outside for recess all the time, we only stayed indoors when it was pouring rain. German cemeteries are different from American cemeteries, aren't they? For me it is always a must to visit my Opa's grave site, I still miss him after all these years.Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-13062950549709970042010-05-06T09:01:29.465-04:002010-05-06T09:01:29.465-04:00The cemetery is beautiful.

And even the school yard is paved with bricks, very nice. <br /><br />For some reason, I can't see the last two photos. Blogger is giving me fits this morning too. It keeps changing the fonts on my posts.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-38870239402913980522010-05-06T08:24:38.468-04:002010-05-06T08:24:38.468-04:00How nice, Ulrike, when did you go back?

I've been thinking of posting about it too.<br /><br />By the way, the last two photos didn't open for me, but it might just be my old computer ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I love seeing photos from Germany.<br />Auf Wiedersehen!Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202962061904917598.post-73216543496115472142010-05-06T08:07:46.250-04:002010-05-06T08:07:46.250-04:00The cemetery is so beautiful.
