Last year she delighted many of us by posting the lyrics to Silent Night in German:</P> <P>Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,<BR /> Alles schläft; einsam wacht<BR /> Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.<BR /> Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,<BR /> Schafe in himmlischer Ruh!<BR /> Schafe in himmlischer Ruh!</P> <P>I was happily singing along when... HUH??? What in the world... Alpine Blossom had me singing:</P> <P>Schafe in himmlischer Ruh! (<STRONG>Sheep</STRONG> in heavenly Peace!) when it should have been: </P> <P>Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! (<STRONG>Sleep</STRONG> in heavenly Peace!)</P> <P>Several of us caught the slip-up and we all (including Alpie) had a good laugh.</P> <P>To be honest, I will never again be able to sing Silent Night in either English or German without thinking of our dear Alpine Blossom and her sheep in heavenly peace.</P> <P>Merry Christmas with love to Alpine Blossom, wherever you may be!!! </P> <P>And if any of you still visit with dear Alpie, please send her my love...</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:33:45 GMT Linda-In-MN 2010-12-22T08:33:45Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Missing-Alpine-Blossom/m-p/6774#M2582 <P>I do not get to read these boards very often anymore but every time I do, I search for my neighbor to the east in Wisconsin, Alpine Blossom...</P> <P>I was really thinking of her today while listening to Christmas carols.
