Ordinary life


Regular life is not always fun/glamorous/travel filled! Sometimes it’s just the usual. There are stressful moments, but who wants to read about that? It’s nice to be back in a routine this fall. Handbell choir started up, complete with new participants, and also Bible study.

Regular choir is singing again- check out our nice view out the window of the rehearsal room. The weather in Germany has been getting cooler, with more rain and earlier dusk (8pm instead of 10pm), but there have still been a few warm days. It averages out nicely.

A German friend sold home-made donated cakes at the local festival, so I volunteered for a while after visiting with her. In addition to pizza and crepes, they sold grilled salmon and baked potatoes with sour cream! Some locals were complaining about the inefficiency of having only one cash register for 4 different food/beverage stations! Maybe they were right…

Then there are all the regular things, like laundry, getting the oil changed in the car, groceries, volunteering, gym, cleaning/yard work, and going to the library! Our 18 year old cat is slowing down, so a few extra TV shows on DVD mean relaxing couch time with the cat, who especially likes Mr. Monk detective shows.
