I saw this recently.
I was surprised to see it also had a sunroof!
So where did the Volkswagen Beetle “Bug” come from?
It was made for the economy of the German nation commissioned by Adolf Hitler.
A more in-depth look at the Beetle can be found on Wikipedia here:
Yesterday my husband and I went for a walk.
We came upon a strange tree.
Hubby said it was a Cottonwood tree.
I saw “cotton” all over the ground.
I picked some up.
I was amazed to learn that the male produced the pollen (causing allergies for some) and the female trees make the cotton.
The cotton is an appendage to help disperse the Cottonwood seeds so they do not fall at the base of the mother tree.
So, as they say, you learn something new every day!
As many of you know I do a weekly radio show called, “Music from Germany.”

It’s brought to you by Domeiers New Ulm’s German Store!
Domeier’s is a unique store located at 1020 South Minnesota Street in my hometown of New Ulm, MN!
It’s always a nice walk from my house to the wonderful world of Domeiers German Store!
We really enjoyed the sounds of our Municipal band last night!
My favourite was the medley from Meredith Wilson’s, “The Music Man.”
I found out Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are performing that Hollywood musical on Broadway!
My own music duo Molly and Sonny Boy (me and hubby Jim) will be performing here at German Park on June 20, 2022!
Here is a sample of our original music!
I have been really working hard at focusing on my weight reduction.
I got myself a Galaxy 4 watch.
The app called Samsung Health tracks so many aspects of my weightloss plan.
It tracks everything from body fat to steps taken.
Most of all it records and analyzes my sleep.
It even records me snoring, if and when I snore!
I highly suggest you weigh yourself daily.
But, be forewarned.
To permanently keep off weight you need to have a lot of patience. Good things take time.
Obviously, one’s weight fluctuates. In fact, it can swing anywhere from 1-3 lbs or more in a day.
But, if you’ve been a good person sticking to the plan of eating less calories and burning more fat through exercise and activity, you are pretty well guaranteed that eventually you will get trimmer and slimmer!
P.S. All diet advice by me is my opinion and does not reflect on any professional advice. Lose weight at your own risk.
We have an all-male vocal group in New Ulm called the Concord Singers.
Their title is New Ulm’s Ambassadors of Goodwill.
Last night we went to hear them perform at German Park.
The group has been in the area for over 90 years
It’s a nod to our German Heritage here in my hometown of New Ulm, Minnesota!
Each summer the Concord Singers are a part of an annual celebration called Bavarian Blast.

I just watched this band bio.
Herman’s Hermits had 30 top hits!
They added to an LP with a song they thought was rather ridiculous called, “Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter.” But of course it became a smash hit!
Many of their songs were released as popular singles.
There is the lead singer Peter Noone, but no Herman in the band.
Herman was a band name derived from the name Sherman of the American cartoon, “Sherman and Peabody.”
There always seems to be great content in band biographies.
What is your favorite Herman’s Hermits song?
Hubby brought me in a handful of fresh home-grown radishes from our backyard garden.
So I grabbed one and ate it.
Tender and delicious. 😋
Not bittter at all.
Springtime is a lovely time of year.
I recently bought myself a Galaxy 4 watch and I thought there is no better photo to put on my new watch-face than hubby and his radishes!
Yesterday there was a gathering across the street from where we live.
We saw this head-turner.
This type of car has been featured in many Hollywood films.

Last look.
My music duo Molly and Sunny boy recently recorded this song on a video.
The song became really popular after a film called, “Good morning Vietnam,” in 1988.

Today was a beautiful day. After covering ourselves with bug spray because of the crazy gnats, we took a lovely walk up our street.
There are some wonderful houses on our street as well.
