This was a long and rewarding year for the Jörns in Bonn—but it was also a year of change.
First of all this was
Carla’s first full year, with her first steps in summer. Birte (19) shot her first deer, a chamois yearling. And Gisela (38) enjoyed her baby year, till end of September. I (61 now) stopped working for Ericsson in June. This gave us ample time to enjoy Carla and to go on some short trips.Easter vacation, two weeks, saw us in South Tyrol again, on
our farm, as well as summer, six long weeks. In October I went there again for 1½ weeks just with my daughters Birte and Carla, while Gisela had to work.Events to remember: many friends, visiting us in our city home in Bonn,
in the garden; long nights driving to and from South Tyrol (Northern Italy) with Carla sleeping in the back. Snow on Palm Sunday in Oberalm (near Hallein, Austria), where my parents, brothers and sisters live, and going to church with bushes of sallow trees! Visitors coming to our farm, going on long hikes with us. Deciding which trees to cut with the local rangers. (Yes, I am a genuine “lumberjack” now. I even had to lease my mother’s part additionally, following hard negotiations. Too bad that I live that far away ...) Touring Innsbruck with Birte.In the meantime Gisela has resumed her work at
Duales System, and Carla (her first word: ball) is with a day care mother Monday through Thursday from nine to five, otherwise with myself and Gisela. Carla loves it, as the day mother has a little girl of her age and is very nice.To all our friends we wish a very happy Christmas.
May 2003 be economically better—but stay personally as fortunate as 2002 was!
