I imagine this also helps with flooding.Three flights of stairs lead to our apartment at the top. Guten Tag!Grateful this little girl, “Ms. Adventure” (Adi for short), is with us.

We purchased the candles at the Christmas Market. This weekend, we added greens, pinecones and acorns we collected from the woods. We are thinking of looking for one more candle, the Christ candle, at another Christmas market. On Sunday evening, we started our Advent readings.
