History
This morning Niki's beloved ram Hector died. So now he's history. Short process! So take care, everybody!!!!!
Although it's the most natural thing it's still always a bit sad. Hector was Niki's absolute favorite and a very strong character. But he was old and got weak and weaker and in spite of a shot with vitamins and antibiotika he died in Nikis arms this morning, in the sun in on the bench on the kitchenporch. But life goes on and we already discuss where to get a new ram, for the three remaining sheepladies.
A nice neighbour came, with a sharp knipe, and cut Hectors head off. What a waste it would be to throw these wonderful horns away! I'm sure Hector shares our opinion, from up above :-) The chief hunter of Tannheim will boil and prepare the skull.
Another chapter of my history is Musauer Alm, one of these lovely summer pastures in the mountains. I spent three summers up there a looooong time ago. The first summer a was a waitress. A real lousy one! The next summer I helped out in service and helped out with the cattle. Better! The third summer I was alone in charge of the cattle. Great! A couple of weeks ago, as big brother Uffe was here, we (Uffe, Juli, Niki and I) made a long mountainhike and came through at Musauer Alm.
(The frontside looks nicer.......)
Well, and today, Emil and I take a trip with the motorbike to the village Musau, where they celebrated the home coming of the cows, after the mountain summer. This summer was the first summer that Emil's and my nephew Joachim (Jolle) leased the alm together with his girlfriend, so that's why we went there. It's kind of funny, how many things goes around - kretsarna sluter sig - you loose contacts and then you pick them up again, but in a totally different way. If you see what I mean?!

...... on the 21st the cattle in Tannheim comes down and then we can celebrate on REAL :-) Big day!!!!

What a sad sad story this time... My sincere condolences to Niki and the rest of you! But at least the horns will remain and always remind the characterful Hector! Where will you be keeping them?
PS. Cheers to the english bloggs!!! ;)

Ask the guy to save the nice bullion that will come out. Would be a nice last farewell, when you eat the soup...
