Eating Out and Moving Day

Last night James and I finally made our way down to Canandaigua to eat at the Rheinblick German Restaurant. In spite of the rainy weather we had a very nice evening together. After a quick hug from the hostess we were shown to our table by the lovely Miss M. It is so hard to decide what to order when dining out. After much deliberation I chose the Kassler Rippchen (otherwise known as pork chops and sauerkraut) and James the Wiener Schnitzel. Mmmmm, yummy! We almost left without dessert but when the smiling hostess came out to show us the choices, we couldn't resist; Heidi’s Käsekuchen and Linzer Torte. A wonderful evening in a beautiful place. Thank you, Gudl!

Today we are once again downsizing our family. Where have the years gone? Could it really be almost ten years since we dropped our eldest son off at college? We have watched our collection of children dwindle from seven down to three, and now two. Nathan has packed up his things and moved into an apartment with his buddies, Max, Roman, and Matt. It is a nice place not too far from church and these are good guys. I'm sure they will be fine as they face new challanges in the days to come. More prayers rising heavenward and a little less laundry for me... uh, maybe.

  2. Ohhhhh, no I know where your handsome boy went. I'm sorry Martha. I know that on the one hand you are happy for Nat to grow up, but on the other you will miss having such a full house. Don't worry, I have a feeling that instead of having fewer at the house you might end up with MORE! Ha! We'll see

  4. Martha, it was so nice seeing you again!
    And I am with Ann, your house will get fuller instead of empty!! It has already begun (haha).
    But I know what you mean... 'You have to let them go if you want them to come back". ...
    Have a great Sunday! The sun is shining here. But we have a hint of snow.
