My Village…

September 25, 2011

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Sorry! I can’t really blame it all on “real life” (though that is a big part), I just haven’t really felt much like posting. I haven’t even uploaded all my Prague pictures, but those I did upload, you can enjoy by clicking on my homepage! I know some of the pictures Lowandslow will go crazy over! lol

So many events have taken place lately…. most good. During my vacation I had another lovely visit with my ex-sister-in-law as well as ex-mother-in-law.

This past weekend was filled with events. Last night my flying club celebrated their 60th anniversary. It was great seeing many of my old friends again, and they seemed really happy to see me again. I felt really welcomed and “at home”. My village is having a 4-day party and it included opening the bell tower of the church, which I of course took advantage of and would like to share the following pictures with you.

This is a view from the tower which shows my apartment building.It’s the top floor under that redish roof.

This picture gives a pretty good impression of the area I live in…..and as you see, we had GREAT weather today!

Here are a few pictures from the church and bell tower….

engraved in this bell is the word “Liebe”, or “Love”
there are three bells all together…. and they ring EVERY quarter hour! And sometimes for a full 5 minutes!
Inside the church from the organ balcony….
More pictures of the quaint little village I live in can be viewed here.

I hope you all enjoyed this view into my world…. and hopefully I’ll get back in the mood to blog more often again.

    I love the shots of the inside. Do you know how old the church is?

    according to my info, it was built around 1878–1880. We have lots of churches and buildings from that time and MUCH older. Our castle was built around 1200.

    Lovely. And I can’t recall a time when we were all at Journalspace when you didn’t feel like blogging! So I wish you the best, dear westy. You were always very helpful and very good natured about everything. I hope you get back in the mood to blog regularly soon.

    I understand Westie but I will always look in when I see or sense something from you, because you matter. The pictures are lovely. The church has a voice and speaks . Quaint little village. I am delighted god things are happening for you – I will you nothing less.
