Lots of interesting info in there. I lived in Munich as a student many moons ago -- and one of my best friends in my dorm was from Augsburg. I visited him there with my family in 1995. It's a gorgeous medieval city- also university town - so very fun to visit. I just met up with him (and his fiancee) again last month -- in Stuttgart. A 40 year friendship!Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-53603584002273775322011-06-19T17:16:09.809-05:002011-06-19T17:16:09.809-05:00BTW - I have my grandfather's "workbook&q...BTW - I have my grandfather's "workbook" from Augsburg, Germany, in my possession - you have inspired me to perhaps blog about it!

Hope it will help. it's that so much is on little scraps as well. An then there's the indecipherable part. Thank God for Meta.

I guess I just come from a family of savers. Nothing seemed too unimportant to keep. I saw a business card for a restaurant that I somewhat dismissed -- maybe they ate there. But there was that indecipherable writing on the back -- so off it went to my Rosetta Stone, Meta. Well, the reason it was kept was then clear. That little tidbit will be coming up as Lisi trip to America gets ever-closer. I'm so glad you're enjoying these little treasures and the explanations.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-39667442291848891552011-06-14T09:02:08.313-05:002011-06-14T09:02:08.313-05:00I love the way you expand the information by expla...I love the way you expand the information by explaining various things, such as the hardware store and the spelling variations.
