I have a smattering of fun photos! I wanted to share them all, from various events the last weeks -- so here is my modest attempt at remaining sensible & tantalizing you with curiosity by including just a random few! Jeff, my co-worker, and son Jeff are enjoying the sounds of Antje's Australian didgeridoo! She brought it to our spring retreat & played it for the talent night. (no small feat!). Growing up in the tropics of Florida, I missed all the wonderful northern blooming trees & cold-loving flowers, such as tulips! Hurray for living in Germany right next to Holland!After our retreat, some of us went to ride on a summer tobaggan ride-- (left to right) little Georgia, Tep (our worship leader who came in from Spain), Deanna, Vera, Jen, Caro, & yours truly. (for the record-- i have no qualms at people seeing my feet-- really, i don't! But somehow I wonder why it's so common for folks to take your ENTIRE body when they shoot a photo--and often leaves out things much more interesting than feet & ground-- in this case the small town behind our heads was hilly & quite quaint...)
John & Jen Kelsey from Oklahoma came to speak at our retreat & we enjoyed a bit of sight-seeing while they were here, including a favorite place of mine, the Wartburg Castle. This is where Martin Luther translated the New Testament (from Greek into German) in just 11 weeks (in 1521/22). It resulted in a standardized version of written German.
Jen & Kels as friends were fun & so encouraging; plus it was inspiring to exchange ideas about campus ministry!
This incredible piece of architecture is found in Erfurt, our state capital of Thuringia, and houses a terrific Italian restaurant!
