Jon, I'm living in Upper Franconia, the former border was only 20 km away. Now we are in the middle of Germany:-) It is a pleasant region, very green and no big cities around (thanks to the border). If you're interested just google Küps, that's where I live, very small, only 8.000 inhabitants. The beer is famous here, unfortunately I prefer a glass of red:-) Maybe twenty years ago every little village had it's own brewery, you would have liked it! Koffman, thanks for using that german word :-) Karin

I think it is wonderful these mission trips are conducted in the good old USA. Not that people all over the world don’t need help, but it is so expensive to travel overseas, and often we forget how much help is truly needed in our own backyards. Many people from Alabama have worked in disaster relief missions in Louisiana, Texas, Florida and other states in years past. It’s nice to hear others are helping people in our state in a time of need. A group of teens I know about helped clean and repair some damaged homes, handed out food, water and cleaning supplies, and did other cleanup jobs, supervised by adults.

Wonderful abundance! Sitting quietly in a garden has to be one of the best ways to start the day. Your third pic reminds me I have a hammock stored somewhere ...
