First hello from Germany!
Watch this postI'm new on this site and I would like to say a very warm hello to everybody.
My nickname is ReinerZufall (a word play, in German it means "pure coincidence" just how I found this side), I'm a widower, almost 70 and live in a small town in Bavaria/Germany. Have worked as a deputy in order of the court and managed all the things for people who were ill or handicapped.
I don't speak good English because I'm a beginner in learning this wonderful language in my old days. So please be clement about my mistakes. I think it's a good training for my old brain to learn and read along here on this wonderful site.

I just joined yesterday. I wanted to wish you much luck with your English. I live in California, and I can imagine how difficult it is to learn a new language. I am sixty four and have been a widow for almost eight years. At times it’s very lonely so I decided to help out at a care home where people live that have Dementia, and their families have brought them here. They also are so very lonely because no one visits them. I spend time with them hugging them and talking to them.
Well I would love to hear more about you if you care to write.
Blessings to you,
Debbie
