Well, it's official.... I have now driven in Austria!  I have to tell you that so far, I LIKE IT!!!!  It's too fun... but boy do you have to pay attention.  It's even more important that I do because I'm not used to the signs, rules of the road, etc.  I can't wait to tackle my first roundabout!!!   Which, by the way, will be happening tomorrow.... as it turns out, I'M the one who's driving to Hungary!  Holy CRAP.... Autobahn, here I come!!!  Can you all see the big smile on my face????  I know some of you can... and some of you crazy buggers (Tyna) are wishing you could be coming with me!  Fess up, Tyna.... you know how much fun you'd have!  Like a carnival ride but much, much safer!  Lol

So, my first trip was to go and get my Oma... and my second trip was to go back to my Aunts place to get the keys I forgot... and the third trip was back to Oma's place!  Nothing like practice!  After all that excitement I had to go have a coffee... this one was heaven on my lips.... OMG it was sooooo good!!!  This Kafe/Bakery makes the nicest pastries!  Just look at the little marzipan figures... Ahhhh....Coffee
Ahhhh....Coffee
 . those are made by hand... isn't that amazing????   I think I'll have to bring some home for the kids!!!  Oma said the cake she had was delicious, too! 

Oh Tyna.... I have an interesting story to share with you!  My Oma and I went walking through the town this afternoon (well, I did the walking and pushed her wheelchair.... great exercises....whew!!!!) and then went for dinner and she was talking about when they used to own the Bakery.  On her first delivery out to Nana and Grampa's, you (about 2-3 years old) wanted to go with her, so you jumped in her car and wouldn't get out!!!!  Your Mom had to get into the car with you and go with Oma to finish her deliveries!  Isn't that cute????  Oma was laughing so hard and saying "that little one... boy she knew what she wanted and she was coming with me!!!!"

Now I have to say 'good bye' for now, go get ready because Hannes and Barb will be here soon to pick me up... we're off to see the firefighter's something-or-other..... no clue!  Should be fun, Though!!!  Have a good night/day everyone!!!

Hugs!!!!

Ok, am I the first one to post?
Not sure how this stuff works, and could get my butt canned for doing this on equipment and lunch hour....but hey....having a blast reading the blogs!
It beats texting for me at this point! Look at me, getting into the 21st century of technology....I'd rather be driving in Austria! Heck, I can survive I-94 and all the rest of it....AUTOBAHN, make way!

Sounds like you are having an awesome time...Dekkers loved the photo, can't believe you ate ice-cream...keep on trucking with the beer mugs, and Trish would be proud of your sensible shoes!

Saw Tyna at Costco on Tuesday....and Den...man, he's sure grown! We are all thinking of you and having a blast...and hey, who really needs Facebook anyhow! This is great....too bad we didn't have this 20 years ago....can you imagine the length of the blog!

You are looking fabulous....and love some of the architecture shots...and yes, even the flowers....keep on snappin!
Love ya lots.....see you when you get home.

PS - got three cookie crunch jars...I cleaned out the shelf on the only walgreens I could sneak in!

Have a fabulous wknd! You're missing 2 days of thunderstorm/gloomy clouds and rain!
