Grandma's Visiting

Just a couple of days after Corinna left Germany, Grandma Burnside, Aunt Betty Wayman and Lorissa arrived for a visit to our home and country. So far we have walked the Nuremburg tour of the Emperial Rodelbahn (kinda of like luge in the summer) and we watched a falconry show. Jacob and Aaron left for EFY in Copenhagen today, Sunday and tomorrow we will take our guest down to Garmisch. Grandma's really gotten a kick out of Lily, our cat.

Walking my legs off

Corinna came over for a visit and we did so much walking. We went to Nuremburg, Karlovy Vary (Czech), Rothenberg, Garmisch, Neuschwanstein Castle and much more. Here's a pic of me and Poppi in front of the castle of old Nuremburg.

Summer Vacation Begins

The first weekend out of school and we were already on the move. We went down to Garmisch to the Edelweiss Lodge and the boys and Corinna went parasailing. They had the best time and they all said it wasn't too scary. I didn't go because of my previous encounter with the ladder, (if you don't know, look below) and I was afraid it would hurt but the said I'd be ok, so next week sometime, I'll probably do it. We'll see.

Jacob's Graduation

On Friday night at approximately 7:35, the Ansbach High School Principal handed Jacob his high school diploma. Yahoo! Four down and one to go! It was a good ceremony and Jacob wrote a very gratitude filled dedication for his parents and of course for his friends. He will attend Arkansas State University in the fall. The day before, at the HS awards ceremony, he was presented with a $1000 scholarship from the Illesheim Spouse and Civilian Spouse Club.
