Family Bonding

AH! They're here, and my oh my are they American.

Family showed up just a few hours ago and we've already played a game of Ultimate Frisbee (Kudos to Bobbi and Rita for joining in.) and ate ice cream. I'd call that a success.

In order to bring this to you family-fun style, I decided to add some guest bloggers to my queu.
Everyone, I introduce to you: my Mother.

Mother is here even though the sugar beets aren't planted. I'm trying to enjoy myself but I'd relax more when the crops are in. We were already called 'dumb Americans' after not being able to find the luggage claim. The little bit I've seen of Germany I am amazed at the speed of cars. It's either stop or 50mph around a curve. Including the buses, which need new brakes. Tomorrow I get to rent a Mercedes A Class to drive to the Black Forest. This will be a challenge.
 When Nick said the subway is just outside the door he was not kidding. It's just outside the door. Tonight will be interesting with the subway going by every 5-10 minutes.

We will have many stories to tell with Grandma and Grandpa in tow. Would not have made it to the airport if we would have listened to Grandpas directions in Detroit. Good thing I was driving.
I never realized Grandpa could talk so much to total strangers about anything that has happened in his amazing 78 years.

Hope all is well with Jonathon and Allen bachelor-ing. It will be amazing to know what they will eat after the casseroles I made run out. Good luck, Jonathon on your ball game. I miss you both.

-Debbie.

(PS Also, to anyone who has written me an e-mail and not gotten a reply. I'm really sorry. I have not gotten any of them I have not replied to. My family just informed me of everyone that has tried to contact me and again I apologize to you guys. Uncle Tom, I have not gotten anything from you. Call and we'll get it figured out -Becca)
