Don't Make Me Live in a House of Wee

So right now, my PBS station is running Britcom One Season wonders and tonight it was "The Savages" which is about a married couple with two young children. The little boy, Luke, keeps wetting the bed. And eventually the house begins to smell like pee (hence the title). The show was so funny (and features the fab Geoffrey Palmer from "As Time Goes By"). And now for a short overview of my trip to Heidelberg. After I arrived at the Frankfurt Airport, Trey found me and then we drove to their house (after a quick stop at a local orchard for some cider). And I got to meet my adorable nephew Ellis for the first time. I swear I have never seen such a smiley baby (nor one that was able to pinch the smallest amount of skin!). Then on Monday, I walked around Bammental with Rachel and Bridget (and their babies). On Tuesday, we visited Heidelberg castle and walked around Heidelberg. The castle tour was really good (and interesting, more about the people that had lived there than anything else.) And then of course on Thursday, the three of us (with some help from Silas) made the fantastic Thanksgiving dinner ( I made the pie filling and mashed the potatoes). And on Friday, we went (sans Trey) to the Christmas Market in Frankfurt. It was amazing all the stuff that was for sale there, all sorts of hats, toys and assorted knickknacks. And of course we the traditional gluehwein. After returning from the Christmas market, we celebrated Bridget's birthday by playing a game and watching some Pee-Wee Herman. I had a wonderful time in Germany and I can't wait to see all my sisters at Christmas.
