Maddie's twice-a-week for five weeks swimming class continues and it is amazing what this guy has gotten these kids to do in just four lessons. One little girl who didn't even want to put her face in the water when it began is going the length of the pool with arms outstretched, face down and kicking like crazy.
Skip and Maddie had a grand time in Lubeck with Torsten and Elke for Annelie's 50th birthday party. Skip is lining up his summer plans. Torsten and Joerg are planning to come to London for a weekend, and Joerg's son is going to hook Skip up with some seaside accommodations on the Agave coast in Portugal.
Meanwhile, I have had a ball with friends Olivia, Lori, Jim and Glen who have come for a visit from the states. O and I went to Centenary together and later roomed in LR. They are all a lot of fun and just genuinely good folks. It has occurred to me during their visit that I have probably had more than my share of great people filter through my life. I hope I haven't reached my quota and the trend will continue. At any rate, I have done my best to give them a taste of life in Germany.

While the four of them tour the Cathedral in Cologne, I watch a teenager literally flip over lines of his friends.
