Last Hurrah in Germany

 

Hello!  It has been another busy week.  School is now in full swing and so are after-school activities.  In fact, I am biting my nails waiting for someone to return my phone call to see if they can help me. I need to clone myself.  This is when I miss having my mom live down the street as she was such a big help over the years helping us get kids from one place to another.  It takes a village.

On another note, have you been watching the Olympics? The start was rather scandalous and I was like what? I hope future Olympic organizers take note. Anyway,  I could really care less about the sports side of it, but I love seeing and watching the human story aspect of it. Watching Simone Biles and her teammate bow down to the gold medalist.  Watching the girl from Ukraine break a world record.  I forget what event.  It is the one where you throw yourself over the pole but without using the pole to help you.  I can't imagine how hard it has been for her the last 4 years to train given that her country is at war.  Watching a member of my church receive a silver medal in the Steeple Chase. Well, I better run.  Above are a few pictures taken of us bowling right before we left Germany two weeks ago. I forgot to post them. Hope you are enjoying the last of summer. What is your favorite part of summer?  The heat hasn't been one of them for me, but I did enjoy the laziness of summer and gathering with friends.  Addy and Avery are going to our Bishops' lake house this Saturday and I couldn't be more thrilled for her.  Ok, I mean it this time.  I need to go!  Let's talk soon!
