Just checking in!

Hi everybody. No photos this time. Just me checking in. It has been a long week!! I just got back from Hannah's back to school night. We got to see the new building where they are going to be beginning October 9th. I do not like it as much as the Children's School, but I guess it will have to do. I do love her teachers though. They are great! Of course I managed to lock my keys in my car so I was a little stuck in the end, but Omar came to rescue me. Eliza & Jossy are watching Sky High, a movie about a high school full of Super heroes and side kicks. Hannah is sleeping and Omar is getting ready to go to NC tomorrow. He is going to get another tatoo. Maybe that will be my next photo posting. ;-) Well, I am going to have a beer and go to bed. Tata for now! Elli.

It's working!

The word from Charlotte is that she likes where she is, that she had to move into an easier Math class and that she's spending a fortune on school-required sports outfits. No wonder if they've got them wearing designer swim wear.

Suday we spent at Jele and Klemi's and ate Quiche, Apfel- and Pflaumenkuchen prepared in their homemade clay oven. l-r: Mirja, Clemi, Katinka, Sabine, Fred and Jele. Front row: Julius, Florian and Joro.

Trying Again

This is what Sabine's living room looks like at the moment. Check out those nifty red "Kassett"file boxes, and guess where we went shopping.

Hey, What's with our blog? It is refusing to accept pictures, because of bX-fw81tf.

Blogmistress, can you help?

New High Score in Scrabble

John and I played a Scrabble game last night and I scored 431 points! It was an all-time high for me; I made two seven letter words and had one double double score. John didn't play so badly either. His score was 222. Here's the board, just for the record.

"Wie bei Muttern..."

I made a plum cake for Amy's birthday today. With the smell of plums mixed with cinnamon and butter lingering in the apartment, all day long I've had really intense flashbacks to childhood.
