Sunday afternoon walk

Out and about

I drove past this field of lettuce yesterday and had to stop to take a picture. The colors were so vibrant.

God's paintbrush!

Three of our sweet seniors at BFA - Ellen, Krista, and Rita

Friends and Family

On Friday night Esther and Bethany came over to watch a movie. We watched "Miss Potter" which I highly recommend. It is the biography of Beatrix Potter. Tim and Tyler really enjoyed it, too! Esther is a Sophomore at BFA and is in my small group. Bethany teaches in the Discovery Center.

Today the Muellers from Switzerland came to visit their daughters at BFA. They came to our home this afternoon for coffee. We had a wonderful visit and laughed a lot as Christa and Esther tried to teach Tim and I some Swiss German! Christa and Esther are in my small group and are truly a delight!


KD and her best bud.....

In the neighborhood....

This is our town. BFA is in the background....the building with the slanted roof and the one with the rounded roof. Our house is in the foreground. See the 3 townhouses in a row? We live in the one furthest away(and closest to the school).

Taken on a walk to the neighboring village of Sitzenkirch

On my way to Sitzenkirch!

Some of the craft materials for sale.

This booth sold some really interesting smelling soaps. Our favorite was Orange-Cinnamon. One of the strangest was coffee-scented soap. Naw.
