Our Apartment in Frankfurt

We enjoy living on the Ninth Floor, experiencing the weather change from day to day and sometimes hour to hour, seeing the trees blowing in the wind and changing colors, and watching the birds fly by. Here are some photos of our apartment. We love it!

Monthly Schedule

Bob and I are busy with many activities during the month. Here is an example of how we have been spending our time:
Monday through Friday, Bob puts in about 55 hours a week doing legal work at the office.
On Mondays, we go to an inspiring Devotional at 9:00 A.M. In the evening, we often have home evening discussions with other couples in one of our apartments.
On Tuesdays, we go to our German Class at 4:30. One Tuesday a month is Sisters' Night Out. In August we did line dancing, followed by refreshments.
On Wednesday, we occasionally have zone conference all day long or a guest speaker.
There are usually not too many activities on Thursday, but soon we will begin our Interdenominational Choir practices for our Christmas Concert.
On Friday evenings, once a month we go to the Temple. Otherwise, we enjoy getting together with other couples in our apartment house and play games or go out to dinner.
On Saturdays, we either join in on one of the missionary outings or tours, or we hop in the car, often with another couple, and head off for some wonderful place to explore such as this castle in Heidelberg. We walk a lot and come home with tired feet, but happy.
On Sundays, we are grateful for the day of rest. We go to church for three hours and sometimes have a fireside or are invited to dinner at a friend's home.
Missionary couples work hard and play hard. There's a lot of comaraderie and friendship. There never seems to be a dull moment, and we are loving our work and our play here. Missions are great, and we're glad to be here in beautiful Germany!

Especially For Kids

We're starting a new blog spot called Especially For Kids, so watch for it. These are the interesting things that we see in Germany that have special appeal to the young at heart. For example in the grocery store, they not only have eggs with connected feathers that require no refrigeration and are fresher than our eggs in the US, but they also have colored eggs that are so fantastic. Check these beauties out!

These eggs are not colored. The chickens just lay them like this. They look like chocolate chip cookies!
