It's always Sonny in the D

Sonny Elliot
Died at age 91 after 60 years in the broadcasting service.



I loved listening to Sonny on WWJ.
He always made me laugh.
Humor to brighten any gloomy day and a life story that is truly inspirational.  
I'm so glad to have had the good fortune to listen to his weather reports for so many years.  
What a joy!

Wet, cold and gray.....it's a theme here.....

Kris, Tom, Pam and the boys came to visit. 
First stop, Altenburg Castle and a climb up the tower.
 At the top of the tower


 View of St. Michelsburg from the Schloss (Palace) rose garden



Harvest Fest

It was a lot of fun, a lot of planning and a great event!  
I was glad that student council could put this on and extra glad that it didn't rain!
We hired some guys on stilts to entertain the crowd.  
They ran around doing their thing and the kids loved it.





This one was pretty funny. 
They dressed the toddler as a homeless person and the bottle was in a paper sack.
The same guys running around on stilts, did a fire juggling show to end the evening.

Franconian Winery

We took a little vineyard field trip about 30 min.s from here on a gorgeous fall Saturday.  
Thought you would enjoy the view!

Before Linnea came....
 Because there's a crucifix everywhere you go in Bavaria!
