Walking in Hainburg

Sometimes things work out well. Last night I sold a piece to the Christian Science Monitor. I've written a couple of pieces for them-which, for one reason or another were killed or never ran--but this one should go through without a problem. I've wanted to be published there, so this is good.



Unrelated to anything having to do with the Christian Science Monitor, here are a couple of pics of Hainburg.
In the afternoons, Remi and I like to walk in these fields, which are about 1/2 mile from the house.




















And here's Remi, emerging like Shoeless Joe from the Iowa cornfields:

hi patti
good return,
with was the Remi fact born in America, Remi is a this dog or Hund?

I'm not sure I undertand your question Hanafi, but I'll try. First, Remi was born in the former Soviet Republic (USSR), so she's not technically American.
In Austria, she is a hund, a "liebe hund"--lovely dog. To me, she is not a dog, not a hund, not Austrian, American, or Georgian. To me, she's just my Remi.

...meaning, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was a famous American baseball player--and his, uh, ghost... such as it is, was featured in an American film called Field of Dreams.
