An American parent in Germany, or how I learned to love the power tools
I can still remember how shocked I was when the group of mothers from my son’s baby playgroup parked their strollers with their sleeping infants nestled inside, in front of a large cafe window, then walked another 60 meters or so to the entrance. We then walked the parallel distance on the inside of the café to a table looking out at the sleeping 6-month-olds. I held my son close to my chest – I thought it was outrageous to leave my sleeping baby outside on a sidewalk in the middle of winter, with over 100 metres between us. The German mothers smiled politely as they told me that I might be somewhat paranoid. “We can see them,” one mother said motioning to the window. When I told them that a Danish mother, Anette Sorensen, was arrested for leaving her daughter in a stroller outside of a New York City restaurant while she dined, their jaws dropped in disbelief. “People live in fear [in the US].

Decades-old family photos inspires a stranger to find their rightful owners
TYRONE, Ga. -- At a Goodwill store in Tyrone, Georgia, you'll find, among other things, Kristie Baeumert on her weekly hunt for hidden treasure. She recently picked up a vintage projector for $15, discovering a family's old slides. "I looked at it as soon as I got in the car and I could see that they were family pictures," she said. The slides started to tell a story. There were girls who wore "matching outfits," and a woman who dressed to the nines. "I love these pictures, I feel like I know this family at this point," Baeumert said. She believes they may have been a military family, since the children are often pictured with white friends during an era of racial division. "Maybe they were stationed together and that's how they became friends and were hanging out and taking pictures of one another," she said. Baeumert posted on Facebook, hoping someone might recognize them, and the post has been shared more than 1,000 times. "I've heard from people from all over the world … [Read more...] about Decades-old family photos inspires a stranger to find their rightful owners
