My last post of the night. Here is a picture of (left to right) the owner of the restaurant (don't remember his name), myself, Guy, Reiner and Walter. The owner's wife and daughter (who also helped serve us that evening) ran into the kitchen and would not come out again once we asked them if we could take thir picture. Maybe they heard about my exciting blog and didn't want to be a part of it? Hmmm...

Anyway, last post of the evening. It's time for me to get back to everything else I am putting off so I can get some sleep tonight. The next group of pictures will take some time to sort through as Reiner went a little crazy with the camera after dinner on this night. I can't possibly post all of them!

I decided to add just a few more pictures tonight then I really need to quit procrastinating on other pertinent things around the house...

Top picture is Guy trying to steal my mushrooms (his meal did not come with mushrooms, but he got "krauterbutter" so it was probably an even trade for him).

Middle picture is Guy and I sitting at the table with Reiner. This is pretty much the entire restaurant. Walter stood by the door to ge a picture for us. There is only two other tables in the restaurant you cannot see. Cute place, huh?

Bottom picture is our food. It was all very good. You can even see the krauterbutter (herbed butter) on Walter's plate (it's the speckled looking stuff on some purple lettuce near the top of his plate.. bottom of the picture).

Thanks again, Walter. I'll make ribs for you in K.C., you just have to come and visit us there:).

Here we go.. back in time again.. still try to "blog" our trip to Germany, etc. from December, 2007.

Here we are in the cutest little restaurant you could ever imagine finding. Walter (see picture three) took us here and thank goodness he drove because we would have never found it on our own (and will probably never find it again without his help).

Second picture is Reiner at the restaurant. This place had only 4 tables and is only open for business on Friday and Saturday night. You must have reservations (I think) to get in. Well worth it.


Thanks so much, Walter, for taking us to this great little place.

More pictures of our adventure with Walter that night to follow... please check back.

Dance ... March, 2008

So things have been quite busy for us lately (what's new, right?). Guy is traveling a bit more and is in Germany again until just before Easter.

Grace is playing Upward's basketball again this year at Woodside Bible Church in Troy. She's has a really nice team and she is really improving her skills (you surely do not want to play against her when she is playing defense and she's really good at faking out her opponent when she is on offense and can get half way across the court before they realize she even moved!).



Last week Zachariah's class toured the Morley Chocolate Factory and we bought a bunch of chocolate (sorry, Guy, couldn't wait for you to come home to start eating them.. and by the time you get back we will need more, so PLEASE bring chocolate home with you.. and don't give any to the big guy at customs either!).

Last week Grace's class visited Lansing and toured the Supreme Court Building, the Capital Building, and the Michigan Historical Museum (sorry we missed you there, Bryan). It was a great trip. I hope to take the entire family back there some time... maybe after our return from K.C. It was a great trip.

And, for those not living in Michigan, we are experience the EVERLASTING WINTER! Ugh. I like the snow because it looks better than brown, dead stuff all the time. But these COLD temperatures really must stop soon. Fortunately we did not get hit with the storm that dumped 20 inches of snow on some parts of Ohio, but we are sure feeling the cold temps that hover north of the storm!

Today there was a "Daddy/Daughter Dance" at school so Guy's brother, Gary, was kind enough to step in and take Grace and Anastasia. The girls made a couple crafts, ate pizza, and had their faces painted. They danced a bit too I hear. The 2nd picture is Anastasia with her friend Allison. Grace had a kiwi painted on her face (because Mrs. Shelata couldn't paint a Mango).

One of these days I hope to finally add some great pictures from Rome ... what a great city.

Check back for more updates (hopefully sooner than the last one).
