Renate: June 2008

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. Returning from Mainz, I had the choice between the two trains and since it didn't make any difference as far as catching my connection in Cologne, I chose to take a slower EC train and maybe even get some photographs this time. Of course it rained for the first 15 minutes or so, which means that taking pictures was not easy. Though I tried. Somewhere after a couple of bends, the rain stopped and the sky slowly started to clear up. Only one thing is mi...

Renate: Kiva - loans that change lives

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2009/01/kiva-loans-that-change-lives.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. Kiva - loans that change lives. I saw it on Kees' blog. He picked it from someone else's - and maybe someone will pick up the idea from my blog: joining a microfinance. Organisation, investing a little of the money we have in a loan for someone who will do more with it than go to the movies or a restaurant. For starters, I have decided to contribute to a loan applied for by a group of 5 women in Pakistan. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Renate: January 2009

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. Thinking of people is easy. It doesn't require an effort. You just do. Staying in touch, making the effort to write or phone regularly, is a different story. At least I seem to botch this up regularly. But it doesn't mean I forget. Today I finally found a trace again of someone I spent time with decades ago. In Occidental College, Glendale, CA, to be exact. Ginny kept on walking, I didn't. Her trail diaries. Do they have cheese in Harburg? Wall of rem...

Renate: Labskaus and Emigration

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2008/12/labskaus-and-emigration.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. On Christmas Eve, Schatz and I went to Bremerhaven to spend the holidays with his Dad. When we arrived, it was already dark (no big feat this time of year), but there were so many lights on in the city that I snapped my little Canon anyway, like outside the Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum. Where the lines and masts of the museum ships were covered with lights. Passing ships in the night. It was Christmas everywhere:. And on the other side of the hallway.

Renate: November 2008

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. Is the motto of a store I came across in July:. At that point in time, they had just opened shop on Jan Evertsenstraat in Amsterdam. Bags and cushions made from old dresses or curtains really caught my attention. It is one of those things that you think you could do yourself, given time and occasion, but if you're really honest to yourself you know you never will nor can. Here's a pullover (some call it a Pullunder) bag from their website. Was 29 year...

Renate: August 2008

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. Thanks for All the Fish. Although we love to sleep in on Sunday mornings, we decided last night to be sensible and mature and get up early enough to go to a nearby flea market and then to the gym. And it was crowded! It seemed as if twice the sellers were there this morning than usual. The sun was shining, the punters slowly walked - nay, were pushed by those behind - along the stalls. There wasn't that much interesting ware, though. It simply did not...

Renate: Little Dubai

http://rengrein.blogspot.com/2009/01/little-dubai.html

Life is a highway - I want to ride it all night long. I had interrupted my earlier entry about our visit to Bremerhaven as I wanted to add some pictures Schatz took with one of his various cameras. Unfortunately, that very camera had a faulty light baffle, as he found out - some rubbery thingie in that old camera let light into the camera body where and when it wasn't supposed to come inside and ruin the picture. They started the light show a few years ago but as something rather temporary. It was co...

Íþróttir - About Íþróttir

http://www.ithrottir.org/about

A viking age quarterly. What's in a name? From 1998 to 2000, the now defunct Dorestad Sibbe, a Dutch early-medieval re-enactment group, published the "International Mimir", an English language quarterly. At its demise, the then editors decided to continue with the magazine under its present name and this resulted in the first issue of Íþróttir in March 2001. Its present subscribers range from re-enactors to museum curators, and live in various countries throughout Europe and North America.
