"uplifting visitors" in Hotel Karolinenhof, November 2008

I forgot to put an SD card in my digital camera: so I missed the images of the kind act of Greg Baxter bringing in our BIG oleander tree in a BIF pot from the yard indoors to the Salon. Normally we would need two or three workers to carry this - but currently we have none! And guess what: he did it like other people would lift a cardboard box with some old books. Yes, I can proudly start this blog with the announcement that a World Champion and his wife stayed at Hotel Karolinenhof, and they LOVED it and we loved to have them! With them was Mark Menslage, another Champion. At the 2008 WPF World Championship, set here in our lovely Vienna, Austria, Greg Baxter completed a third 551-lb.deadlift, and called for a fourth attempt World Record at 601 lbs. This successful lift demolished his former World Record of 584 lbs.



Wow! I hope Greg and Lois and Mark and Mary and Joe had a safe trip home and are enjoying a warmer and more sunny climate that we currently do. And we all thank you for being such wonderful guests. really, really uplifting:



Best regards from Katja and Margot, Monika and Darya!
