Saturday night – Deutschefest

Tonight was a big night.. I mean that in two ways.. one that we didn’t know until late in the evening. .. That’s a story I will save until tomorrow

Gabe was determined to get as many days in the great sn

ow as he could so he met up with Devin and Nate (I think) up at Bolton for the whole day

while Gabe was out, Diane was super busy making food for tonight. Habre esnted one more gathering with his friends before heasing out to Germany. He[d asked us to have a German fest..

Diane takes challenges lsike that very seriously. .In the course of the day she made home made pretzles (!) .. or Bretzen.. as they are called I Bavaria. She made homemade German noodles (Spaetzle), Sauges and sauer kraut ( Bratwurst mit Kraut) , Bavarian cheese spread (Obazda) .. German red cabbage (Rot Krout) , muled wine (Glühwein) and Appel strudel (Apfelstrudel) Diane shows her love for all of us in many ways.. and one of the is in the kitchen

Diane a, Nova and I did get out for some sunshine and snow

People started showng up at 5:30 .
I dressed for the occasion by wearing my ederhosen from when I was `9 and my green white cheked (grunweiskariert) shirt and rd vest I got as a going away present from my team in Munich.. I’m justh happy I can fit into my 19 year old clothes

Gabe treates us to some of the Sausage sayings he’s picked up on his look-see visit to Würzburg.

and we played a rorally innapropriate word card game wirh Kasey, Brad and Char
it was a great gathering ., lots of friends we hadn’t seen whe Gabe was hoe. And many of them we had seen..

we went to bed so happy

and then.. …..

nite all. Nite sam
