Beautiful German Weather.

For about a week, it has been cold and rainy here. Hopefully it'll make the transition to snow pretty soon. Right now it's 6 Celsius, so it might not get there for a while. Generally I think winters are a lot milder here, as they don't stay below freezing as long as we do in Wisconsin/Minnesota. I've started going to a class in the mornings that is for people that want to become nurses. I'm just there to listen along, so I really don't have to do anything. Usually the family is out of the house until 2 in the afternoon or so, so this gives me some German practice during that time. Plus, it's something I know a little bit about, so it's not so difficult to figure out the vocabulary. I was going to Heidelberg this week on Thursday, but that's been bumped to next Thursday. Right now Florian the youngest is sick, so we're hoping it doesn't spreed to everyone in the house. I'm not too worried due to my ironclad immune system. The renovation to part of the house here is coming along too. Last week we had a little dinner in the renovation zone to christen the new fireplace. It was really just supposed to be a lesson on how to use the thing from the installer, but we ate over there in the empty house and talked for about an hour. Nothing else really happening to me, so I'll let you all get back to what you were doing. See you soon.
