"In a world full of people who couldn’t care less…be someone who cares more." ~Unknown   T he above was a quote Carl D. Bromberg liked and had recently shared.

Bromberg/Visions Photography for  Little Miss Suri Facebook Page   I'm sad to say that on March 29th, I received a call from a very dear mutual friend who shared the heartbreaking news with me that Carl had earned his angel wings.

Kaffeeklatsch

  FiveSibes #Flashback ~ 2020 ~ Wolfie   Coffee. Always. Coffee.  Kaffeeklatsch . Yes! Coffee with my Huskies. Oh, what a perfect start to the days those were. Here, as you can see, Wolfie was busy chatting to me! How I so enjoyed our conversations.  Boy, I sure do miss the days of enjoying a nice cuppa and having a good ol' kaffeeklatsch with my boy Wolfie by my side. My now-angel German mother, who frequently used the term, and so loved our coffee dates as much as I did, would certainly approve. Have a cuppa with your pups...let them speak, and enjoy the kaffeeklatsch. Really enjoy those special moments for they go by way too fast.    "Take a break, sip, and enjoy the moment." ~Unknown      💛 Memories Are Visits For The Heart 💛   Join Us!
