Our Neighborhood Fresh Market

All these pictures are taken at our neighborhood fresh market which is open every Wednesday and Saturday morning year round. It's fun to shop for fresh produce, flowers, etc. We bought our pumpkin for our Thanksgiving pies there. We will miss this market when our morning walks go back to Timpview Drive. (Click each picture to see it larger.)

Thanksgiving in Germany

For Thanksgiving this year we invited all 8 missionaries in our District and Andrea, a young single adult who has been here for several months visiting her sister. Andrea is from Mexico and Sister Gomez is from Spain. They had a great time speaking Spanish and after dinner we talked about favorite Thanksgivings and Christmases from the past and sang some Thanksgiving hymns and even some Spanish songs together. It was a GREAT day!

Outing with the Thompsons

We went on an outing near Essen with President Wesley and Sister Becky Thompson. We had lunch together at this Süd Tirol restaurant after visiting the Villa Hügel, built in 1870-73. It was the residence of the famous Krupp family for three generations. The complex included a residential wing and a guest wing, connected by a lobby, and could boast 269 bedrooms. The rich wooden floors, ceilings, tapestries, art, marble and view of the estate gardens are worth the visit.
