Ulla puts up with Wolfgang and his antics always with a smile on her face. She really doesn't care about the family tree Wolfgang has compiled. After all, she just married into this mess. To her, fmaily is her grandchildren, her children, and her husband whome she affectionately calls "du Wolfgang".
Ulla loves her family dearly as is evident by the way she frets about at her children's homes, and by the way she dotes on her grandchildren, giving them that special love and attention that can only be supplied by Oma.
While I was at her house, she was constantly making sure my every need was attended to and would get a litle bit upset with me when I had no opinion about what I wanted.
She is an excellent teacher, from teaching Marie how to play catch, to helping me with my German. She can speak English, but while I was there the only language allowed was German because I am in Germany to practice my German. She has a very gentle way of correcting mistakes taht is almost more of a suggestion, rather than telling you you did something wrong.
She loves Germany and its history, and she wants other people to do the same. She was always making sure that I was tuned in and comprehending what was being said while we were watching the specials on T.V. about the founding of the German constitution.
While I was there she took an interest in my juggling and worked at it for two days. Upon leaving she enveloped me in a warm embrace and let me know I was welcome any time.
