This is a Time-Ran-Out-Blog...

We started the month with a bang when we headed to Wes and Sandra Theurer's (Steve's brother and sister-in-law) who live in Wiesbaden! They served us a wonderful meal and made us feel so at home. We're hoping to get them up here for a "walking" tour of Bad Homburg as soon as weather permits, but we won't be able to serve them crab or roast beef like they served us! Wow! They are definitely at home in the kitchen. And they are also just plain generous and wonderful people. Another military family had just arrived in Wiesbaden that week and were living in a hotel until their housing became available, so when Wes and Sandra met them at church, they invited their whole crew (parents and 5 kids) to come as well. I'm sure they ran home and put another roast in the crockpot during church, but they made room for everyone and acted like it was just another walk in the park for them! We totally enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to see them again.
And speaking of Theurers, these two pictures are for you, Steve. The Germans seem to have a liking for round buildings. There are lots of them over here. Just thought I'd share some engineering with you!

HOW MANY SENIOR ELDERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB????!!!!
This picture made me chuckle. We were at home evening the other night, and one of the elders noticed that a light had burned out. So, he being younger than the elder whose house we were in, was soon standing on the coffee table taking the cover off the light and changing the bulb. Pretty soon, the others had gathered round to offer their suggestions and support, and behold, there was light!


Here's Hank working on his computer in our study/living room one evening. It looks like he's on his way to bed, but we jump into jammies the minute we get home 'cause I'm just not used to 10 hours a day in panty hose! So, if you stop by any time after 5:30 or 6:00 at night, we'll greet you in jammies!


Well, that's all folks. I'll have to finish tomorrow, 'cause we're off to a housewarming for the Howletts (the other indexing couple). They had to move from one apartment to another, so we're getting together to see their new digs and have dinner. Love you all.

Just finished up my 39 hours for the week (had a few hours to make up)--got them in just before midnight and was waiting for my line counts to show up--so I checked and LO AND BEHOLD!!! Sounds WONDERFUL. A lot more fun that here!!!
