Fall Happenings


Making the most of free moments in my sewing room


If you can see the face on the computer and are "Lord of the Rings" savvy, you recognize Aragorn on the screen. One of my favorite films to have playing in the background.



This is my Tom Turkey project! (remember this, Erika?)


decisions, decisions



Zach's first time doing church music (at the piano) since we've been back!



Going to visit Steffi and Dietmar in Ditzingen





Beware the Greeks, bearing gifts!








This was a much smaller plant when we gave it to Steffi and Dietmar as a house-warming present in Gaildorf. Steffi has a "green thumb"!



The flowering pink Christmas cactus in the middle on the window sill is the Ditzingen house-warming plant. Hopefully it will flourish well!


Unfortunately we have no photos of Steffi!!! But we do have some of her very unique and classy dromedary!





Scenes from the 25th anniversary weekend


Breakfast with Edna


Zach, Mister Soundcheck


First stage of the table decorations - wreath of leaves


Working hard, or hardly working???









Nadine and Salome



Becky and Grace


Fokko and Harald



Harald and Dietmar Speidel



The youth performed a skit!



Zach on the far right



Some things never change (and shouldn't) - Edna knitting!


Saturday night


Zach with the Speidel boys from Stuttgart


Wow!! Who's that good-looking couple??


Time to say good-bye to Edna


The Liebig-street landmark!! Our infamous tree in all its glory!!


Our infamous house entrance - we do try to uphold the neighborhood honor, but just can't keep up with the professional gardeners around us.



The final leaves fall. After much leaf processing, we are happy for this moment.

Nice pictures! The turkey project looks great. Right on time for Thanksgiving. And I like the leaf wreaths on the tables. Cute idea! Zach - nice "Roberto" shirt! =)

Hey, oh man I miss you guys so much! I wish I could be there. Looks like you have a lot of cool things going on! I especially like the new sewing room, complete with laptop to watch all your favourites :)
