Ostersonnatag Halleluja!


Happy Easter ! Especially to Gretchen & Simon and P.J. & Sara, we hope you're enjoying your share of chocolate and jelly beans! (Tom purchased some Peeps, thinking they were my favorite! I have finer tastes than sticky marshmellow treats, whether they are yellow or pink. Once a year is plenty!)



We spent a weekend in the Black Forest area of Germany (southwestern). The landscape is the most impressive we've seen in the country. Before they leave Switzerland in May, and relocate to Colorado, we celebrated our friendship with 10th Avenue friends, Mark and Alli.





Easter morning Mass in Furtwangen featured talented musicians; five violins, two cellos, a trumpet, organ and choir. Their selections inspired a wonderful service. Even though we still don't know much German, a sense of joy was felt worshiping with parish members.
