Yes, yes, we were in America again. Mostly we went to see our nephew. I don’t want to be the weird aunt from Germany who’s only good for sending chocolate, so we’re making effort to be present. It was also great to see the rest of my family and we got to celebrate my brother’s birthday with him. I don’t think anything really out of the ordinary happened while we were there, so I won’t bother to write much. I think everyone who reads this blog was probably there anyway and already knows what those two weeks were like. But for everyone who would like to see relatively current photos of Liam, click here. A couple of the photos didn’t upload properly, but until Flo can fix it, that’s how it will be.

Other things:
I get to watch Dancing With The Stars now, because we can record it from the internet. I’m not sure how that works, but Flo’s hooking me up. All I’d like to know is, what sadists keep voting to keep Kate Gosselin on the show? Poor Tony.

We went back to dance class after a month off and woo hoo! It was a bit challenging to get back in the swing of things and making it more difficult was: no one else showed up for class that night, so it was a private lesson! But we learned a nifty step, where Flo leans over and I lean on him, so it looks good, I think.

We went to see Flo’s great-aunt last week, Tante Margot. She’s moved into a senior facility and doesn’t seem too happy about it. Her mind is going a little bit, but she is 90 now, so I guess that’s allowed. Physically, she’s still wonderfully fit. I hope she settles in there well. I hate to see people like her unhappy.

We’ve gotten halfway through our spring cleaning and ran out of gas. But I feel really good about the half we did get done! Anyone else doing spring cleaning yet? I find the cleaning of the window frames to be the most satisfactory part of the whole thing.

And we went to the movies a couple times last week. Flo wanted to see The Bounty Hunter, which was only so-so, and I wanted to see The Ghostwriter, which was awful. It was slow and boring. If anyone saw The Good Shepherd then you’ll know what kind of torture you’re in for with this movie. Now we’re looking forward to see Date Night. Anyone seen it? Is it to be recommended?

And I should have plenty to blog about in the next bit. Tomorrow we’re taking a day trip to Nuremberg for our fourth anniversary and on Sunday we’ll be taking part in a bartending course.
