We Now Do Sweet And Cloying!
He's sweet, isn't he?
After all, he is all
sugar and
Rose water too - but don't tell him, please!

Paper-Doily Origami
Clouds like handmade lace
Cutie-Pie
Merriam-Webster says
this word dates back to 1956:
Whatever happened back then?
All I know is this:
Pleeease, not this angel
in my stocking!
More Origami
paper doily clouds
Würstelstand
Hot Dog Stand
How many Wiener Würstl
do the Viennese eat in the course
of a year?
Well, the answer is ...
n o n e !
they snack on Frankfurters instead.
With sweet mustard or Dijon,
hold the ketchup -
the right antidote to all
that cloying sweetness above!

Thank you all for your visit and kind comments and wishes! These days, I only manage to post, but I am looking forward to the time "zwischen den Jahren" (between the years, as the Germans call the period between Christmas and New Year's day), when I will be able to take the time and visit you all!
