The Pappenheimers; "107, 108 & 109"; 108; 109

Have. I've got a story. Laura you my friend of mine told me offering you a room. Now it might be the kind we could just bring candy but for you it could even come true. Of people and places and the reasons for things as they say and what the ones see things. Have. A story for my friend. Yes I do. Have a story to do. And. You. Know Good Morning World. And Morgan another new and beautiful day a day full of hey wait a minute there was something extra

special about today but I can't remember just what it is. I might have it over here and my German calendar or another month gone by already. There it is the first. The first of February. Estée Faibish or. There sure is a nice calendar easy to read and plenty of room to write on. It was a Christmas gift from my brother in law Georg pop and Heimer. He does a calendar factory in Germany. You know cars that all my relatives live over there in Germany. And since they all speak German I'm picking up more of it myself all the time. Since yesterday was the thirty first of yaun War. Today is a first of favorite war. February. Now let's see what's so special about today. All change for the bus. Shoes to the dentist this afternoon and his birthday. Ah now I remember it's He's Elize birthday.

Gisela pop'n I am or my niece my favorite niece melts in one of my many favorite nieces. She is the daughter of our next. Hey Oppenheimer. The one is married to what's his name. Well what's his name. And. Al doesn't matter anyway she lives in Germany. And I've got her picture. Guess where. That's right. In this album. And that's her Gisela. Her ears Inchy. One thing I always remember about her. She likes music better than anything else. She could listen to music all day long. If he's had her way she'd take her stereo along to school with her. It's too big. She need something smaller that she can just take along any place. And I found just the thing for her birthday. I've already mailed it to her. And she should be getting it today. That is if

she's happy. Who could sleep in on their birthday. Well I guess Gisele I can I recognize her even without her glasses. Probably dreamin about the gifts she'll be getting with plenty of happy surprises. So I'm gonna start feeding some good stuff. Laban OK and tired so bored stop feeling so tired. Feeling good. Come on. Wait a minute. You're not dreaming this is really happening inside you. You wouldn't. Mom I was with you. I didn't even see the Bush tax cuts occludes it's. Just a wake up with all those good wishes and congratulations.

Complete with a birthday card. I just wanted to use the last two years to do and this here is for you. Now you're awake. First of the presence. C'mon open it up. Well what is it. That book is a nice gift. This can't do this in CUSIP. Oh sad. It's not a book. Well let's hear one. I'm sure it will be Gisele is favourite kind of music. Is. Lovely. All right. This. Might be just a wee bit loud though. To say thing first. Time out for. Fun. You can listen to it later. Guess you're missing your own birthday breakfast. Come on.

He's still. Good enough that he's good not petite. Enjoy your breakfast everybody. It does look good. Where's the birthday girl. She comes with more music for the whole family to enjoy. Nine kind of music. She could sure make good use of my present about now. You brought. Up the males here. Well the mailman usually brings birthday greetings and I think she's been expecting him. Let's go to some of the bullets. That package looks familiar. Well luckily my president got there on time can't be bothered with anything now but the package.

And Hans would like a better look to my old. Good Nabatiye. Now what about that package. It got there in one piece for my bus to her house that's halfway around the world corner. Now she's got her music and their families finally got some peace and quiet. I guess I picked up the right gift. Where's the matter. Oh I didn't figure my gift would create such a problem. But butter sounds like mother with earphones. Right. It's good to have an understanding brother. Hans did warn her about that.

His eyes. Fell. Dad lost part of his leg. But she's not going to let it go away because it's late. Time for school family fun has to end when it's time for the. Surely surely. By Gisele I know somebody else is going to have a wild breakfast to. Oh. Oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. Hey just to cut port nine each have a whole lot each. I love. What we see is a kind of board. See

spots. That's just my number. My name. My name is. I go this. I would not be. Toast you're sure got a good breakfast. That little cartoon fella didn't get much to eat and neither did Gisela. I got it for Tommy. No toaster is going to steal my breakfast. You know I like a little music with my meal. Just like Gisela I can't play the piano and eat at the same time. Maybe I should get myself one of those mini recorders. You wonder if I'd have as much trouble hearing as you. I hope she makes it to school right. There she goes off to school all wrapped up in her ear phones.

Just imagine walking in your own world away from everybody and everything not worrying about other people other things or where are you going. To get. Blocked off. Stop taking things off your ears so you can hear what's going on with a big. Guy was a close call. But a little scary never stopped her back on with ear phones. Did you see that big you over the imprints. Well that leads to the Wobegone the subway in Germany. That's how people get to school. Why. She can hear her friends. Good morning greetings. But betcha they get to hear that music at. Rocks. I guess everybody knows it's her birthday.

You sure can hear music. All of our friends are wondering about that mini recorder. Let's put it up there on cloud nine. Here. Yes. Good idea. Share it with your friends. Wow. You get subway train is coming in case the train's coming. Where are you going. You don't really have any ideas about using that microphone do you. You do. Now. The whole subway station can Rocketeer many records. Since you brought all those birthday candies. Why not. I have a real party. And friends there to do it.

It's the waiting. What's going on here. Just loud in the subway station. What's a good party without plenty of soda pop. For that boy. Just call it. Believe it or not. I'd. Say. The Department. Of Justice. Of course. Why don't you join us. Good job on the. Phone. Yes maybe he thinks music is forbidden in Iran. But not the last piece of luck with that mini recorder. My. God that train just in time. Otherwise she would have really caught it from that intended. Get in debt.

That was some subway birthday party dancing candy lemonade. And what's a party without music. Course I can make my own music with that old piano of mine. But how can you play it and sing and dance and greet your friends with your hands you're busy a piano keys. I have to be an octopus to do all that. And that's why I got this thing. Now let's try it out and see how that goes like that. And. Now it just has to work. Ah you've heard this song before I recorded it myself. On your mark get set go to the top. It's a push shot. You look long you say just don't. Got you.

Those mini recorders sure are handy. To get stuck. You will. Soon get bored. Thank you. Oh. It's not supposed to happen. It. Is. A modern electronic machine. A miracle of technical advancement. And then this happens some miracle. Get it out of the quarter again. That's when I had things all ready to sing the German birthday song in honor of Gisela Poppen Heimer birthday. So when you get stuck you look so bored stuck here. Without music to back me up. It just doesn't sound that great. Sound a whole lot better when a bunch of people sing it together like they did for Gisela. He's a loud pop at night. He's one of my favorite nieces. And remember she has her birthday today.

Not. As they say in Germany. Gisela has a lot more luck with that cassette player I gave her than I had with this one. Were my two Perzel work ought to be able to get mine to work. Say at mini record show was a hit with our friends wasn't it. I just hope she doesn't let it get her in trouble in school. I see you finally made it to school. But shouldn't you be in the classroom and not out in the hall. Weyman Isn't that the boy from the subway station. Yes. This. Yes you. What's your name. Me. Hi. Hi. Actually. His name's Eric. He. Is not a German name. It's Turkish. A lot of Turks work in Germany.

And their children go to German schools. I wonder what those two were whispering about anyway. Gisela you're already late for class. Sounds. Like. Your classmates have been expecting her. Now she's going to pass out the birthday cake and. Everybody seems to know his birthday. And they're all wishing you happy birthday. Even the teacher. Now. Children. Quiet. And. Quiet. Just like all teachers everywhere. She wants him to quiet down. What they're learning today. Something to do with a man. Gisela What are you doing. Geography. This is Dutch. Owned bubble does.

He. Right that's worked on to Emma pop and Mary has her shop. Remember when. PETER Oh all those snare be dead on first mention of your turn Gisela Gisela. She's not learning geography that's for sure. Yes. Yes I could put it in the book that thing you know. I think that was nice of her teacher. She seems to really understand her students. How come if this is less true for. That. Reason he's sure been lucky today. Everybody's been so nice to her on her birthday and the teacher

didn't even get mad when she listened to rock and roll instead of geography. Wait a minute she's going to miss recess to listen to rock n roll too. I guess you didn't hear the bell the last days. I know you like your music but why do you to. In school when you. Don't. Do. Well. Well he said as enjoying recess. Let's get this cassette player of mine working again. Remember you recognize me and you always tape he said. Charlie pop'n Kramer yeah that's me. And even if it doesn't look like it. Everything is going just fine here. I have to get this little problem taken care of it. It. Just took me a second to get this tape back in a tape recorder. I give up. Is this frustrating.

I don't have any challenge at all for fixing electronic gadgets. I guess it must be me. Easily this cassette player is exactly the same and it works perfectly. In fact everything seems to be going her way today because it's her birthday. I bet she's celebrating her stock right now right here. Nine. Seen it's been seen. Yes sir Gisela is 10 and mighty proud of it. There's your brother Hans and some friends from school. I didn't I tell you she was probably having a birthday party. I. Bye bye. Be here soon. Jack's been locked in pain.

If I blew out my birthday candles one by one it take a whole week. I call him first young Collins was 10 kaká when Christian Kakar one versed in. Motor has a cocoa there. But what does papa have. I'm not sure what that is but I've heard that word before and thought of you I watch this and we'll find out what the verse is. Dominant has. Been. The. Key. Kind. Of. Whoa. Oh. Wouldn't that kinda. I'm. A clown. I. Like. The music. I. Think. That. Is. The key. To. Your. Path. In. Life. If I'm just. Going.

To keep having. A good time. 9. You can. Now we know whatever it is and there's pay to enjoy one right now. With a case of favorite kind of music in the background. So Darvell over that. And. Just for this. A birthday present for you. I wonder what it is. Just the sun. Isn't. It. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a food. But it's a special kind of food. I suppose. He's never played one before. Probably hasn't even seen one. Who's he. Yeah. Permanent thing off so arrogant can make some real music. That. You're different from the rock music those German kids are used to listening to. But it looks like they enjoy working Turkish flute music just as much. And what about Gisela. What's going on. If they're going to make music what are they doing in the kitchen. Give me five. Venerating the kitchen. Bottles

jars pots and pans. And. When we plan to do with all those things I thought that they were going to make music. So easily. You're playing a few notes there aren't you. That's my reflection of it. And she's made a drum. Barbara has come up with a handy instrument to. Hans sads his special sound. He's got a drum set too. I'm. A regular man. And a good strong keep going.

Happy birthday. Good stuff here. He's man her fans are natural musicians. All they needed was. To get them going. So. I like that even better rock music. Wild. Party. There's nothing more fun than making your own music. And when you make the instruments yourself like Gisela and her friends then the music is even better and yet don't need these electronic squawk boxes anymore either way. The things I've collected over the years I always say don't throw anything away. Maybe you use it again someday.

It gives me an idea in my music. Everybody's doing it. Just watch these guys. Minded dominants have fun. With. My music. 9 each was the court. It's spike right. So. That's why. So miserable. I. But it's just I know I didn't warrant East. I called out the call here. Yeah.

Dot dot dot dot dot dot. Gisela I can make music and even that darn dog in the cartoon. I guess I can too. What do you think of my vacation. I see I'm a one man band. And I can make music myself. I can even dance at the same time and I can sing along to their own songs with some new words that you heard today from my parents. My parents. Were hurt by their parents.

Well next time I'll make more music and I'll have another story for you too. So sad and I remember have I done this story for you my friend of mine got a story for you. Now it might be the kind we could just pretend not for money then come true of evil places and the reasons for doing things they do when they sing and what each once a room is not a story. Are you my friend Vince. I do. Have a story. We'll do this specially. You. For information on ordering a Poppen Heimer book an audio cassette right

My God just read my story. I wouldn't mind being the the guy in charge for you. But even with the upheaval and places and the reasons Radames say let me do what you want and the things of. My own then yes I do have a small you do you and you. Well as you can see things are little craythur around here and I can hardly move those sitting around. I'm just doing a little housecleaning before Christmas and the things that I don't like this ugly basement

Zerbino Oppenheimer. Well I can't throw that away. What if she ever comes to visit once. No word is. Rude. Here. My first baby shoes would little feet I had. I'll be using this again soon. It was right on top of my Christmas tree. This isn't just any old Christmas decoration. It's a work of art for my nephew because well from Amman on top and hiding from the need now you can guess that he lives in Germany like all my relatives. And there are only a few people who still know how to blow handmade glass Christmas ornaments and have is one of them. Most of those craftsmen all live in the same sitting in Germany. It's saying no more. Think about it. I remember that having money didn't actually make this argument. His son Hans. Hans Oppenheimer. Here he is with his father head on and the rest of the family. Like

only ornaments in that photo. Is a Christmas tree ornament is very special. In fact it's one of the first ornaments Hans ever made. I think it's a beauty. You know someday I'd like to visit the town where they make these things. Say looks like we're in Germany now in the area where the Christmas tree ornaments are made. All kinds of interesting people live here with fascinating jobs people who specialize in certain crafts. Like. Making toys out of work making stuffed animals. For making glass teddy bears their fathers and grandfathers made the same toys. Sherburne in Germany and all over the world would be very sad if this town didn't exist. It's a very old city. Almost. Thousand years old. There's a market place and it won't be

long till Christmas now. Look right there in the market square a Christmas tree. In Germany they don't just have Christmas trees in their living rooms but in the streets and in the squares too. With candles or lights. And pens. And all kinds of glass ornaments like the ones Herman pumpkin Heimer makes. You. I recognize that fella. Bike rider is none other than Harim on Poppen humor. I guess he's delivering some of his Christmas ornaments to a story to me so. Oh sure. Every works at making Christmas decorations all year long but now just before Christmas he's really busy. What's. This. Factory. I thought her mom was going to a store. This can be where he works because he makes his ornaments in a workshop at home. But. Doctress.

A friend of his. Maybe Herrman just dropped in to say hello. Now you seems to be looking for something. Misdated put out by the book is Iliza. That's it. He's looking for a doll for his daughter Liza that pupate he wants to get. Must be for a Christmas present. He sure came to the right place after all. What better place to find just the right doll than at a doll factory. I guess it's handy living in the same city where toys are made. You know I've always wondered what it's like in a doll factory. I never thought about all the different steps it takes to make a doll. Each person has a special job. Sure it takes a lot of work. Just think of a thousands of dollars they must turn out here each year.

And everyone ends up in the arms of some happy little girl. Like Liza. Herrman. You see one you like. How. He's made his choice. He seems to. Be so many to choose from now that he's got Liza's present picked out. He can get on with delivering his ornaments. Wonder what that fellow is carrying. Oh. No. My hair. Man. When you're carrying a fragile LOEG You really should drive a little more carefully.

Just. Watch the cop who it is. Everything's broken. So these poor fellows all took to in the pool. The pretty lady who couldn't are put to. Those weren't just ordinary cookies. They're a special kind of German gingerbread lady. Cool but it sure was. A crap in. Well this is. Fine it's just it's late. We all know that's not Christmas. Those cookies were for Christmas November December Herrmann's calendar said it's already November

December. I don't know where you are. December and Christmas just a month away. Oh not much time to make more ornaments. Herman Poppen I'm or has a problem then so does the baker. Yeah. Christmas always way. Herrman has a lot to do and I got plenty to do to get this place cleaned up. Oh no. My beautiful ornament. Good point. What am I going to put on top of my Christmas tree this year. Herrman Oppenheimer doesn't have time to make me a new one. Not this close to Ryan Lochte. He has so much to do right now he's blowing glass Christmas ornaments around the clock. There he is hard at work. It's a hot job hauling that tubing over the gas jet to soften the glass. So Herrman can blow it and shape it takes a lot of concentration to get the ornaments right. But Herrman knows how long to heat the

glass and exactly how to blow it. He's made thousands of ornaments each one a work of art. And right now he's really working under pressure to make up for all those ornaments that got broken in a bicycle accident with a ginger bread baker. That job isn't as easy as it might look. You can marks of course the market just kinda smashed in the city of Nura and back. That's where Herman pop Heimer sells his best ornaments. He has to have them ready soon. Look how carefully he colors them. You think you'll make it. I was just kidding. Grandpa always comes when you need him and her mom needs help.

You see Oprah has got to help his friend. It really is. He wants to help. Oprah is retired now but this used to be his job and he's happy to help out. Look who else is here. Sun hands and knees. Hi. Hi. Wants to do something to our boss. Who is old enough that he can start learning how to blow glass to just like him and learn from Oprah when he was a boy. Oh. How. Bad is ice hot. Well we're making progress with everybody working together. Opah and Hans are

good helpers seems to be catching on fast pace. Yes I don't mind the food. What is it. I don't know if Hans likes his mouse by Fati doesn't last. That's his job. That's kind the most. This is well. Oh I like whatever it is. I like Hans ornament too. Well anyway since I need a new tree top ornament and I can't go to the kindo market to pick one up I'm just going to have to try to make one Ponson Ponsford. How so. Glaston seem to be getting very short but he sure getting high. I guess is not so easy to turn plain glass into Christmas ornaments.

Maybe I'd have better luck with a glass bottle. Like. This. Why. Yeah spin should. Is just gloss. Yeah that's just glass saneness glass vinyl. Oh buying the whole nine do best. A flashy Dubus niche 0. 9 Do business Choon Dubus and a cool massive flash. Not bad. That idea with a bottle turning itself into a Christmas ornament. Made out of glass after all. Is me an idea.

To use one of these bottles to make an ornament and I can decorate it with that. Here's some of that. And now you know this. This is better than trying to melt glass and burning my fingers. Just put on. This here. And. That. Then. And. There. Ah but first the piano. Things always go a little better with music. You see what should we sing. Christmas carol would be appropriate. Yes. Why not. Christmas isn't here yet but it's ours way now. Here is a tune you recognize with some German words you just heard in our story. Good job. So here I

am on Christmas. Hey Joe. Joe is providing for the Christmas tree. Well Christmas now and I still don't have an ornament finished for the top of my final spot. Is Hans Oppenheimer I would say. Yes Hans is one of the best ornament glassblowers on all journey. Like his father on. He's a he's just a boy but he's learning to make some wonderful tree top ornaments for Christmas. With. Ice on them. His father doesn't think that great. You probably won't even take them along. Try to sell them at the. CLYST kinda remarked. I say. Let's see. What. That Christmas market is like. I recognize that church. And love. And activity see.

And there's a band playing Carol. You know what I think we're close to that kinda mark in your back. Dan was just talking about. Hey there's Harim on with his wife and Hans and Liza. They must be bringing their glass ornaments to the market to sell. Those with. A long tail. To. The Gingerbread bigger than Herrman ran into his bike. Well that's him and he must be on his way to the market to sell his lead. He. Has. Gingerbread. That must be the market. Well while the popping hammers are setting up their ornament. Let's look around here a little. There's the opening ceremony. And there's one of the booths and another one. Pretty Things have.

Yummy things to eat. Goodies All right. On. To customers. With lots to choose from. Wonder what's cooking there. Where is your minds. Will never find them. They remind me of my grandma in picked down for Lisa at the dog factory. There he is. Ladies and gentlemen on this day and Vine knocks down. Everything for the Christmas tree. You're doing his best to attract customers. Nobody seems interested. Does anybody need some classic Christmas ornaments. Well there are plenty of customers at

that booth next door. It's a gingerbread Baker. Is that gingerbread really cool. That's. One. Customer. You didn't find. Well. The pieces. They're looking for. Of. It's. Tree. Top ornament. There is lots to choose from. It's a mystery to me. She doesn't like them. He's just. What he's. Up to. He's got something in that carton. It's one of Hans mouse ornaments. He's not come along. Most much easier. You should sense that it is

nice isn't it. Mind. You it does. What's the cost. Das. Yes. The. D-MA was. Know. This. Was pretty proud of himself and that boy is found out about it. He really likes. You. Everybody wants a mouse for his Christmas tree. And that. Baker has suddenly lost all his customers. Baker lost his customers in a hurry once everybody saw hods mice those big gingerbread cookies are pretty yummy but they sure couldn't compete with the ornaments are made. Looks like everybody wanted to buy one of his glass. There is one person who still doesn't like them. His father might be just too old

fashioned except them. What do we got here. Oh gingerbread from New. They're. Not quite as big as that hard. The baker had. Hard still taste good. I'd sent these cookies to me last Christmas. I just wonder how things are going at the pop'n I hammer home this Christmas. Now that the big rushes over to get the ornaments made. The pop hammers are decorating the Christmas tree by nuns. Now. One thing's for sure there's no shortage of Christmas ornaments for the tree at their house. So what are you up to. Isn't that gingerbread. Hanging on the tree as decoration. Your father is wondering the same thing. Got you. Not. Good enough. But. Remember good not petite.

Even toasters know that. Will not be. Pretty. Oh good. I eat. Oh hey. Just to cut port nine is my must I I don't Duncan voiced the Buddha is a kind of buttah spice. Does this line up buttah. Oh my God. So I just stick up not be good. Now we know what Gutin uppity means but what's going on back at the pop'n timers.

What is Zuba doing there. Oh he's dressing up as Santa Claus ish. Good bye. Yeah that's what they call Santa Claus in this part of Germany. The vine not mine. He sure makes a good one. I know. Yeah. All. The family is just about done decorating the Christmas tree. The. Streets. Now all they need is a bone. I can't wait to see what will go on top. One of my eyes. No. I guess not. Her mind shows an ordinary bitset. Must be disappointed to. Hear. Her voice. Mr. Jones. Sir.

Mr.. Ball. Papa says the mouse isn't nice. This could be a sad Christmas at the pomp and. It's Christmas Eve. That's when Santa Claus comes in Germany. Maybe you can change oh. There it is all. In. VAIN. Find out. Stew. What's your name. Well tell Santa Claus. I'm on Pop. I'm. On. Oprah. I mean Santa must have brought a present for our mind. Is that he's made. From the way Hans is smiling. Oh I think he must have picked that up for his papa.

Hair man pick that one out and the factory frillies that remember. That's supposed to happen. After all harmonics and it can't be perfect. What's that dome up there in the shade. You. See mine. Santa is going to have his way. He likes Hans mouse ornament and he wants to see it on top of that tree. Oh. Oh. The Gingerbread is broken. Glass. And the glass onto it is broken mouse. You most stuff. Sure. He might just be.

You might but. You must but all Mouse stays on top like another mouse. I know. He's been a mouse all. All about that by now. Yes he's been so nice since he's been cool. Don't do fish in a mouse. Alton breastfeeds do old organ music need a bite of its mouth. How do. Well. That's just how. It's.

Now we. Are going online. And. That's. You. Oh. Sorry. I keep losing my balance because of this. Well I can only be one or the other an athlete or a piano player and I guess I should stick to piano playing because I did this. See I was I was up in the Cascade Mountains on a white snow covered slope quieting down to the valley on my skis and then I slammed right into that mole

hill buried under the snow when I went flying and fell. If you want to know the truth. I can hardly stand up with those little skis. Oh they're good squeezable always gave them to me. And you know all about skiing and sure have taught me how to ski do then this wouldn't have happened. Well you know but always always popping either a relative of mine. Naturally that name comes from Germany out. There. That's what it looks like. I think I always was born into this world wearing skis and and his daughter was too. I'm sure. He's never had to hobble around with a plaster sausage like this. He can ski so well. He even teaches other people. He has a ski school and his daughter helps out too. Oh. I should go there. Yeah. I'm going to do that when my leg yields up. I'll get myself some new skis then I'll go to Germany.

Yes. Alojz popping the ski school must be right around here somewhere in Bavaria in southern Germany in the Alps of course. See those mountains there. Look at that stone house built on the very top of a mountain that could be my choice but I'm not sure we are this skier could be. No he's too clumsy. I think as a beginner. His shouting Help is point. He said it himself. I can't do that in German car contests. But he can't because there's always pop'n Heimer he repeats that beginner how to ski. Just my smile not my eyes again. Take the snow off and try again. That's the only way to learn. Love my mouth.

See how easy Alois makes it look. Don't give up though I'm sure I'll always fell down a few times when he first learned this. But now he's an expert and a daredevil too. So know that wasn't that Schneck. He's skiing down hill not cross-country like you. Where's Alojz headed. She should so this school kids. Or children in school learning to ski and Alwash daughters. They are enough says they're doing fine. She should know. I'd say we kinda have already learned a lot. They sure are. He was a lot more confidence than I have. They jump over those

mounds without batting an eyelash. And if I'm not mistaken there's also and his beginning students again. So now he shouts Khan s he can do it. He's made plenty of progress today with Alois as his teacher. All there is that she again grandpa type on cross-country ski. Watch out. The father says yes you can. You just have to learn not to panic when somebody else skis by. It's harder for a beginner but you're lucky you've got proper time are there to help you along. I always pop in my watches out to see that nothing like this happens. Is students but if you have to have a cast you might as well make it pretty good and does anything for me.

I. Hope I'll watch out for it. From Germany. My nephew Mahim. He's a boy scout. Let's see. He wants to get out of the city go to the mountains and ski. He's a beginner like me. And he plans to go to always ski school. Thanks for the flowers and for my mail. All right. I hope that beginner doesn't end up in a cast like this. No he's still at it. And he's made a lot of progress. I envy him. Well not that much progress at all.

Where are you. Your pupil needs a few more lessons I'm afraid. Always here. MARTIN Is there another student for Alois and the China where is although. She doesn't know where her father is and I don't know her take five years now she's run whiskey's Loudoun with Shia. She often makes sense. She's going to teach Martin how to shoot Lawford. Aren't they beautiful just to see through fear Schnee too much. No not for learning to ski. MARTIN up here you won't have to worry

about another skier knocking you over because you're learning Kiski out in the forest not on some overcrowded bunny hill. Dana is right there to show you how to do it. Just do what she does. You'll be fine. See you haven't fallen yet and you've skied a long ways. I guess ina knows her way around out here because you're really off the beaten path. What are we Bose's Vere. Well feistiest she doesn't know where they are. I was afraid of that. But remember Marteen is a boy scout. Maybe he'll know how to find their way home. Tosses pass. See he brought along a compass. But how will that

help him. Oh and he also brought along a map. Class. Oh yes and he made good. She usually is. Yes on the map. But where is the real ski school. Where is she. Down there. He. He has to admit he doesn't know it's just cause it's just cause it's cold. In fact they're. Very cold. All we can do is keep skiing and hope they find their way back. Martin is getting quite asking questions. I bet he didn't count on having to practice this much the first day. Well my feeling is you know where you are yet

he says go right. How about it. Much more. George Martin says laughing but he's not even sure where north is. What's that noise. My. Little man that mine looks to me like the she over we saw earlier. I'll bet they're glad to see him come skiing. She went skiing. Where do. You. See the school is 10 kilometers to stay calm.

He's taking him somewhere. But because they make it all the way back to the ski school before it gets dark matter is a long ways. At least six miles. Yes. That's just my house. It. Brought him to his home. It sure looks cozy. Now they'll get warm. Yeah. Oh. Hot cocoa. Yes. They she over really know just what they needed. He is a friendly grandpa. So. I'm father but my mom. Doesn't love food. She is going down to the ski school. I was always popping high markets must be worried about the children. He has been

skiing in these mountains for years so he can go out at night on skis. He's an excellent skier but I know somebody else who will watch this and you see what he she. Is does she. Yeah that's so nice. It's so funny. You know. She. Is a snitch. So my. Question is does.

This kind of gun show you. How with no wasps hot. Chocolate the. Cow. Just the thing for a cold winter day. Well it makes it a little easier to get over this broken leg up here in the mountains. It's so relaxing. To work those mountains in Germany beautiful. Well naturally I'll pick the piano along and I'll take the whole bus along. And then I'm going to have hot cocoa wherever I want. Take it all where. Well to Germany naturally Alois and Oppenheimer. Skiing. Oh. Yes

yes. Yes yes yes yes. Oh. Oh. It. Does. Yes. So the mindfulness is yes he is gone. He's gone. Oh boy. I don't know if I can take this animal home to Germany it's too sensitive in cold weather. Listen I guess I can take you along too. I'll always pop in time are up in the snow. You're welcome. Of course one nice winter day. I am going off to Germany to learn skiing and I can't travel without my piano.

That's not so silly to take a piano to Germany. A lot sillier things are happening in the mountains over there and they are serious respectable people. Those Germans you know just like you and me. But each year in the winter they really are let go with the holiday party and when they're celebrating if they do all sorts of crazy games anywhere silly costumes and show off in the snow on the ski slopes on ice pop. Or does it do my uncle cousin or whatever he is and his daughter. You know even though you're a good skier like her it's easy to lose your way and all that snow. Remember she got lost with Martine and friendly Oshi OPA took them to his cozy hut. And I just wonder if they got a good night's sleep there. How much he ends up already starting the fire no electricity in a little hut like this one up in the Alps. Good thing he's a boy scout and a good thing he brought along his handbook.

He knows something is out. He must mean the fire. I was that in Germany. Morgan. Oh yes. The fire is not a fire. Yes Martin. You make the fire. This little cabin may be kind of isolated but even out here there are matches. And the owner spotted them right away. First light some paper to start the fire. Be careful now. She has a good supply of wood in that drawer. Get a nice fire going in that old fashioned stove. And then you can fix breakfast and warm up the cabin at the same time. First the heat some water to see

if she's going to make some coffee for this she'll after all was out half the night skiing too. I'll always Oppenheimer to tell him what happened. Maybe someone should wake him up. Oh he's already hard at work. Look at all that snow. If somebody didn't shovel a path they'd never get out of that cabin. Oh geez. Where is there lots of snow. Anybody who doesn't remember that word had better watch this. It's been a mouse hole. All day about that by now. It's palm. Spin each is being sworn in.

I'm sure it's a spin. I live Kuiken want to fish in a mouse. Alton breastfeeds do olden olden days music either by Neff's mouse. How long. Does this high. He's. Been all in all Paul was right when he said there was lots of snow then because there is lots of snow up there where he lives. Here comes the reward for working so hard all. Nice hot coffee will kill you. Well how's it taste.

Yes coffee good but what's wrong. Let's discuss. It's our house. I know. But I agree. I love my. You can call me. Either. Yes. That's not how it. Goes. Yeah. She she. Is she courting carnival Sunday. That. The Germans could do it. I could do it. Which one to be a little crazy especially for watching right now it's like one big carnival all over Germany. Oh I wish they could see my get up. It's a fun time. All right but a.

Deeper more serious people like math teachers and mayors dress up this day. This costume you can imagine. They. Do they never do otherwise. They go over here over about to work what they do on the ski slopes. Owl sure has something up his sleeve to surprise him. I told you I'm always up to something. See how he's sneaking around. Like I said some pretty strange things go on in Germany during flushing. Now what is he going to do with that shower head. What was he wants to take a shower in all this. No. Sure makes me curious. And what is martín up to. Is he working on something for flashing to.

All those kids who are dressed up in costume. I guess fashion is kind of like Halloween. So why not join in. That. Is trashing. Today is Carnival Martin. Don't you want to have some fun too. Ah your costume from beneath the rubble. He's a robot. What's going on with the ski slope. Isn't that the beginner we saw earlier. He can ski with his feet offers help. I dressed. Up my. Own. He's always been up there. No. He's not. Great.

He'll. Get down the slope without falling. You. Know. Him wearing balloons. He'll make a soft landing if he falls. My guess is. He's not going to be easy to find among all those crazy people. That could be him there except I don't see his shower head anywhere. I wonder if he's part of that noise. That's quite it there you go. If you're taking. Money. Just a little. Today and what beautiful weather for having carnival. Is like one big outdoor party the only one missing out is always popping. Strange. You seem so excited about five years. Earlier. And now we're not even here to join in the

celebration. There is. Yet. To. See. Like. A. Disaster. Confetti. That. Has to be mocked. You learn how to. Do it. Without these rules. He just doesn't know how to stop. Everybody has done it. Well almost everybody. There is. Sad. News.

Hello snake man. Hello. Cool is flashing flashing. To commit. Can just do consternation you know Zane's Newman. Gordon Parks name on. His first meet climate economy. You can catch the gates. She flashed me a gets flashed some flashing Maybe once again. Oh. First just the last thing she must see. Yes. Yes. Yes. Everybody knows how to scream except me. Even that snowman can scream.

Team learned how to. And of course Alois in it. I don't know how on the only one that's too clumsy. I can still learn. Of course I can ski with his cast. That's no problem. The doctor said it come off today. You know. You still have a wig. I don't need that. Now. You. Got to be a little careful. But next winter I'm heading to the mountains to Germany Alois watching. You can tell me how to ski in German. Using some of the words we've heard today. Hey hey man. That's just fucking hot. Name one special ice nation. Nation. On. Year.

Yes just out of context so far. Call me. And you come back now because remember. No one around. With my mind. Just. Like. The reason why
