Life on a Priority Road

We live on what is referred to in Germany as a priority road. Essentially, it's the main street through our village. It's a busy street that takes travelers to the autobahn, or residents to their homes from the autobahn. We are the ones that get "please sweep your sidewalk" notes from the "street nazis" and parking tickets for tires on the sidewalks. It's all part of living on a priority road. There is a sense of responsibility, and direction, and excitement on the street where we live.

Two of a Kind

Christmas 2010

My latest crochet blanket is completed. Actually I finished it several months ago but I didn't want to post the picture until after Christmas.

Our daughter-in-law Lindsay is our ultra patriotic, ultra conservative girl. Her favorite colors are red, white and blue. Her wedding pictures were taken in front of an impressive stained glass window of the flag at the Bob Dole School of International Studies, University of Kansas. Even her Christmas tree - and after the Fourth of July, Christmas is her favorite holiday - is decorated in red, white and blue. Had she not been medically disqualified, she would be an Air Force officer along with Chris. Instead she is the poster child for officers' wives and "support our troops." So when I saw this yellow-ribbon pattern I knew it was for Lindsay. Merry Christmas to our star spangled girl.
