Much Fruit!

One of  the fun things this time a year in Germany is the plentiful harvest of various fruits! My families garden is full of delicious berries. Picking it is so much fun!

Dear Friends
My niece went back to Australia yesterday. We all where so sad, it was hard to let her go!
It was such a joy spending time with her, I will miss her.

London

While in London I visited my "old" friend Rose Marie Miller. We go back many years and share lots of memories. In the 90's we traveled and ministered extensively together. She is a true inspirational women! 91years old and still involved in ministry in London among Asian women.

It was a treat to see her on my recent trip to London. She has not changed a bit!

London

My niece Franziska and I went for 4 days to visit London. We had a great time with much sight seeing and exploring! We were able to celebrated an evening service at Westminster Abby, watching the Guard Change at Buckingham Palace, strolled through Hyde Park, passed by Kensington Palace, saw the House of Parliament, wrote the tube and red buses, spend time to learn about England's History at the Tower and were impressed by the London Bridge! Here are some pictures, enjoy!

The red telephones are still around

Hello from Germany

One of the reasons for me to come to Germany was the last ballet performance of my niece. It was delightful to watch her and the whole group of dancers.

Family and Fun!

To eat fresh cherries directly from the tree is one of life's joys! If you never did that you are missing out on a huge blessing that God provides for us!

Sweeter then cherries are children

Dear Friends
After several days of rain and not so warm temperature the sun broke yesterday in all its glory. Perfect timing for my short visit to Switzerland. Its only a short drive from where I am staying currently.

I visited my old stamping ground from my Bible school time. Returning after more then 30 years to the same place is a weird feeling. It was fun to see "my old room". To my surprise there was a sign on the door with "Kenya" on it!! :) Switzerland is beautiful wherever you go!

Beautiful nestled in the landscape of Appenzell

Not much has changed in the last 30 years, including myself! :)

One of my favorite spots

On a clear day you can see Lake Constance and the Austrian Alps
