You German too!

We still spell our sir name the old German way....get a lot of WTF's when people try to write it down....once or twice did someone do it right.

My grandpa made a rotisserie just to roast baloney...ate it by the ton.  His half brother built a good business on sausages and meats...you might have even ate some yourself without knowing it

Back when wedding and family reunions everyone drank beer....even the kids.  Many a day us kids would be lined up behind the barn puking our guts out....it was a traditional learning experience back then

Any of you still speak the language?

A bologna rotisserie...that's a good one...

oh the parties...winning stupid prizes...

my mother and I went "home" to Germany when I was 13...for my 14th birthday, Oma made up a punch of peaches soaked in whiskey for 24 hours, added wine, Champagne and it was game on...Tanta Gustel was a wispy 75 yo who cleaned castles at all of 80# was dancing with a broom in dress and tennis shoes...needless to say, it was my first experience with "the spins"...

Then it was off to my dad's sister's in the Black Forest...3 cousins my age and older...went into a bar established in 1498...I was told if I could get up on the barstool, I'd be served...no one blinked an eye...

 I spoke German exclusively until 4...when we immigrated here, the transition started, but we had to speak German in the house or it fell on deaf ears with the old man...
