Sunday

another trip to see Daddy!

Another week down and we were able to go back to the training base and see Scottie again. This time Kristy and Chad rode with me. Once again we were all 3 so happy to see each other and Kynsley was all smiles.


Rothenburg ob der Tauber

The legend began in 1631, while the Thirty Years war was raging between Catholics and Protestants. Rothenburg, a Protestant town, was about to be overrun by a Catholic army. Just before the carnage was to begin, the Catholic general offered a deal. If anyone could drink a three-liter tankard of wine in one gulp, the town would be spared.

Rothenburg's mayor rushed forward to take the challenge. Mayor Nusch grabbed the tankard, swilled down the wine in one gulp, and passed out for three days while the town rejoiced over his extraordinary commitment to civic duty. This magic Meistertrunk moment is immortalized in the clock on the Councilors' Tavern on the Marktplatz. This is the same building where the tourist information office is located. At certain hours during the day, the clock's figures reenact Mayor Nusch's sacrificial gulp for his people while the Catholic general eggs him on.












Rothenburg happens to be one of favorite places in Germany. So any chance I get to go I'm all for it. Kristy, Cassie, Kynsley, and I spent the day shopping and touring around inside the castle walls. We enjoyed a traditional Turkish Donner and warmed up with hot chocolate in the afternoon. I love the cobblestone walkways and all horse drawn carriages strolling the streets!

Road trip to see daddy

Scottie is away training at another base. Thankfully we're allowed to have meals with him on Sundays. So the Fords rode with Kynsley and I and we were so happy to have dinner and supper with him. Kynsley couldn't get enough hugs in! She was so happy to see her daddy! And so was I!!!


Friday

:but the greatest of these is LOVE.

66 years of pure love. I was blessed to be at home during my grandparents celebration of 66 years of marriage. We enjoyed a steak dinner at their favorite lil' diner.


I Corth. 13
Charity suffereth long, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, no evil. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things, believth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three:but the greatest of these is charity.
