Lightening Storms

Due to severe lightening storms our internet was out in this area all day yesterday. I was able to use Kyle's iphone to do my postings for my online master's class, talk about time consuming, it was such a slow connection, but it got the job done. I feel a little behind and it's only the first week because I was not being able to access the internet and Gunnar has been needing major attention due to not feeling well. Hopefully I get a chance here to get myself in a place where I feel caught up.
Pictures are so much more fun to take of Gunnar know that I can get big smiles out of him. I just love how happy this little boy is, I think he is such a ham.
Kyle has the weekend off of classes, so I am not sure what we will be doing. We are staying in a hotel in the middle of no where, but hopefully we find somethings close by to visit.



Here is a quick story. Yesterday we were eating dinner and we were socializing with another soldier who is in the same hotel. This cute little boy kept coming over and asking me questions about Gunnar in German. I understood most of them, my his grandma helped with the ones I did not. It was so cute, he was a doll. After he left Gunnar starting getting fussy because it was nap time. I got up and was walking him around and this older couple signaled me to come over and talk with them. They told me that they rent an apartment out to Americans and they ask what we were doing there...Really we think they were scooping us out to see if we would like to rent it! But we explained that we were just visiting. They then invited us over to hang out with them for a while. Evi wanted to see Gunnar more and Hans wanted to play with the dogs. We went over and had a nice time. The dogs loved it, they had a huge fenced yard that they were able to run free in. Evi feels bad that I am stuck in a hotel by myself, so she told me I am welcome to come visit her any day for afternoon tea and coffee. It was a little strange to us at first, because this sort of thing would be most unusual in America, strangers inviting you over to there house, but they really were genuinely nice people has far as I could tell. Now, if I go over for tea and they eat Gunnar and me for dessert, then we will know I learned my lesson of talking and hanging out with strangers.
