Special Visit

Last week we were lucky enough to spend some time with my German "Sister" Tina & her hubby Stefan, as well as her brother Tobi and his wife Hattie. (Turns out he's been in Raleigh the past thee years!) It was so great to see them again!! It's been YEARS--as in LOTS OF YEARS. And, of course, I took NO--yes, that's ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH--pictures the entire time! But, Stefan had a great new camera and took a ton, and Tobi took some as well, so I'll just have to wait to get pictures from them. Ah, patience. I can always use a little exercise in that. . . .

On Monday night they all joined us for a casual dinner at our place, and then on Tuesday Tina and Stefan invited us to go to the beach with them before they headed down to tour Charleston and the rest of the east coast. It was great fun that just didn't last long enough.
