26 Days

When is a door not a door?  When it’s ajar.


Wow, so we moved from Waldmohr into a house on base and we’re really loving it.  Screens on the windows and a nice little neighborhood where the kids can ride their bikes.  Perla has a whopping 3-minute drive to work and the commissary is so close, so close.  We miss the bakery and the Penny Markt and some awesome neighbors, but the house and the convenience rock.


But, wait a minute and hold the phones…we had to go through some pretty tough times during this move.  Stuff you can’t even imagine.


What?


Here it comes…wait for it…


We didn’t have Internet in our house for 26 days!!


First world problems, I know, and we aren’t even packing smart phones like most of the universe.


So anyway, we’re back in the 21st century.  Okay, that’s not totally true.  We still don’t have air conditioning, but if you didn’t know it, that’s the standard in Germany.  Most of the year it works pretty well, but there are 2-4 weeks each year where I feel like I’m going to lose it because of the heat.


26 Days–Good night.
