The Cat in the Hat Cake
July
We've been keeping busy but also relaxing enough to enjoy summer. The kids find ways to entertain themselves, and me!

Bread, Cheese, and Chocolate: Europe 2023
Why go to Germany? ... Why not? A few months ago I was in a teacher supply "store"--where people donate supplies, and teachers can take what they need. It's like a Goodwill for teachers, but free. Among the random things there, I found an old map. There were no other maps. Just that one. What was the map of? Northern Germany. It had all the little towns and roads from Denmark down to Hannover. I took it. I had been having the itch to travel. And not a normal weekend in Flagstaff. I wanted to use my passport again. The random map of Norddeutschland was a sign. I was an exchange student in northern Germany from 1994-1995. I went back to Germany in 2018 with Ella and my mom, but Ephraim had never been and I wanted to show him the places that were so important to me as a teenager. I wanted to use my German again. I wanted to pay in euros, ride trains, and fit my life in a backpack. I wanted to buy a chocolate bar with a coin and eat it entirely by myself with no kids...
