What do you mean “No more Shopping?”
January 5, 2008
Yip - this is what happened when Mutti heard: “No more shopping!” So, she took to drinking.
Gradually we are trying to ween her of Sekt. The other day we took her to a local restaurant (OK - Mexican) and ordered a glass of pink Champaign. The server (OK - Mexican) must have had a hard time understanding the foreign accent and brought her a Mango Margarita. (Come to think of it, Mango Margarita does sound a bit like “Pink Champaign”.)
We almost fell off our chairs when Mutti boldly proclaimed: “This stuff is better than Sekt!” We all agreed - it tinted her cheeks oh so rosy - and made her talk and laugh and dance. All very entertaining.

OK, the truth be told: This had nothing to do with shopping. Mutti simply experienced a bit of a drinking problem at Angelika’s bridal shower (aka “kitchen tea”.)
Clear shock and horror when Mutti was told there would be a Chippendale at the party - and she would be fist to go and “tie a little ribbon round the old oak tree.” What a letdown when she discovered the cheap fake imitation pinned to the wall.
Holy moly - this is the only hunk they could come up with. How sad is that! We often have to revert to “Rent-a-Crowd” strategies, which can be expensive. Seems that my budget-aware financial manager found a cheaper way!
I guess next time we have a party we will have the crowd pinned up on the walls.
I’m sure that Heinrich, Thomas, eDuard, Gabriel and me had more fun at Hooters - even though it was a Bingo night.
And last but not least is Brigitte and her 4 daughters. Behind Angelika is Erika on Brigitte’s right and Alida on her left, followed by Jessica. Theresa didn’t want to be associated with them and volunteered to take the picture.
