St. Louis Visit ~ August 2008
Well, I was lucky enough to get back home to St. Louis for the first weekend of August. My friends, Amy and Tony, let me stay with them for the weekend (thanks guys!). While I wasn't able to make it back in time for Ferd's funeral, I was able to participate in my nephew's 2nd birthday party and was able to see my cousin before and after her baby girl was born. I think Gracie waited for me to arrive at the hospital :) Both Mom and baby are doing very well and I think Dad survived too.

Goodbye Ferd
I'm so sad to say that my "pseudo grandpa" passed away last night. I will miss him terribly!

So, today we went on the annual Stuttgart Volksmarch. My friend Amanda and her son Ethan picked me up this morning and then we met up with Becky, Rich, Karen, Ed and Jacquie for our 12 km (7.45Miles) walk. This was Amanda's and Ethans first volksmarch and what a spectacular job they did. Ethan was as quiet as a mouse and just enjoyed taking in all the scenery. We finished in about 3 hours, after a couple of stops along the way. It was a gorgeous day here in Stuttgart, perfect for the VM.

Polish Pottery Shopping ~ Bolesawiec, Poland
Well this was my third journey to Bolesawiec for pottery shopping (most likely my last on this tour of duty). My friends Becky and Donna ventured out on this express trip with me over this weekend. (For those that don't know, the express trip leaves late at night on Friday, arrives early on Saturday and heads back to Stuttgart on Saturday evening - so the bus is our hotel) We basically shopped till we dropped. This is always a challenging trip for me because it is like a scavenger hunt - you never know what your going to find or if you will see the same thing in the next store. I think we hit a dozen or more stores. It's crazy shopping! I guess because I already have my fair share of pottery I wasn't finding much too purchase.
