This is Duderstadt, Germany.  I lived here for 3 years of my life.  The top pic is of a hotel/restaurant (pink building), Hotel Lowe, where David took me for our engagement dinner.  The second pic is of the church we were married in, in 1987.  Such a beautiful place and certainly where David, Natalie and I will vacation one day soon.  I have never been back since the Iron Curtain came down.  It was a border town and I could see the Iron Curtain from my home window.  I hear it has changed quite a bit.  So many memories there.  I must go back.  

today

Well, since we missed a day of school, kindergarten was pretty busy today.  My students are so smart, they never missed a beat and just doubled up on some of their work.  I think they enjoyed what they learned today.  They even had a math and phonics quiz.  Firsts ones ever!  They are awesome. 

Met a friend at the movies today at the Summit.  It was nice.  I like getting together with friends. Its a rare occasion with work each day.  Sometimes I can go weeks without seeing friends, just hanging at home alone.  But thats not fun and its not good.  We all need friends!

Keep praying Ike away!  

the 50's, 70's and the 80's

I have become addicted to Twitter.  I need to balance my Blog and Twitter so I don't neglect one or the other.  :)  I am home today, off of work.  It's nice because I go back tomorrow and only work a half day!  Yipee.

This is what I would look like in the 50's if I was living then, now.  Wow....awesome!  Here is what David would look like in the 70's!  Oh My!  If he only knew I posted this!  Guess I better show him!  LOL!  :)  And here is Natalie in the 80's!  HA HA HA!  She thinks the 80's are so funny....she thought this looked like me!  Well, she honestly looks like my Aunt Brigette.  I will have to email her this pic.
