Some Advice from an Oma

The family was in town to visit this past week and through that I was able to snatch some great advice from my dear oma

while climbing over a sign in the middle of a walking pathway that says "do not enter"
"not all of man's rules in life are neccesarily correct and need to be followed. It's okay to break some rules and bend the corner every once in a while."

when my cousin matty called to wish me a happy birthday
"i love to see how our family is a bunch of golden threads. Me and opa worked so hard for so many years to weave all these golden threads together, and now they stand on their own."

and who can leave out opa's advice
"no men until you are 30 Heidi. You get your PhD first before you can get a man." haha, opa wants all of his women to get their PhD's!
