Viel Gluck, Anke!

I only met Anke Graefe a few months ago through a mutual friend, and now it's time to say farewell...or should I say, abschied. After living in the states for over 10 years, Anke is returning to her homeland of Germany. While here, though, she taught German through a German School in West Hartford.

Tonight was a nice turnout of friends and grateful...and somewhat fluent (by my standards anyway!) students.

Viel Gluck, Anke! We'll miss you!

Wednesdays in the Park with Nadia and Tiana

My co-worker, Nadia, and I, along with Nadia's sister-in-law, Tiana, have decided to make Elizabeth Park's summer concert series a habit. Free concerts every Wednesday. Tonight it was Soul. Next week, Swing!!

Feets, don't fail me now!

Returning home from her year in China teaching English as a second language, niece Leah came bearing delicacies of the country's cuisine...like chicken feet! Nephew Scott pronounced them...not so bad. This from a kid who likes those greasy beef sticks. Guess he'll eat anything. :)
