My dad also grew up in a German speaking household speaking low German,or Niederdeutsch. His parents/grandparents came from the northern part of Germany. After I had lived for a few months in Germany in

You got that right!

I do love the Big Sky Country! I find myself feeling a bit jealous because you are there and I am not. Guess I better go visit my sister again. Wait, that's not a summer thing to do: we are both too busy

Thanks for checking in on me! I hope to get back into posting more often than once a month. I have several posts in mind, just gotta find the time and the ambition.

I don't remember the first time I used a phone booth, but I know I have done it. You had quite the ramble that day! I hope your shoes were comfortable.
