Elvis

Fran's birthday was last week and David found an excellent second hand store gift...



I was quite impressed with my giftwrapping job
we now have a new mascot for the Berlin Buckaroos



I don't think I'm ever going to have the whole apartment photo-ready so I decided to take random pictures of rooms and post them as I go. This is the guest bathroom, which hopefully some of you will be using soon when you come visit us!


The china cabinet which is in the foyer because the dining room is too small. Our Rosenthal is on the second shelf.

So speaking of the Berlin Buckaroos, we lost last weekend while David and I were in Frankfurt. But, we came back strong and beat the marine team 19-4. David took a lot of teasing last night in the lead up (we went to a farewell dinner for several marines) so it victory was sweet, but all in good fun.

Dinner last night was a taste of home. The place was called The Bird and it is owned by someone from Brooklyn. It specializes in steaks, burgers, and it even has chicken wings! Great to go when you are missing home. And the first really good, not home-made hamburgers we've had since we move here! We are happy for that find.

That's about it going on here. Moe got his first bath in the new bathtub today. He was actually pretty good--a few meows of protest but no claws. Next week will be a working weekend despite the holiday, since the embassy is moving to Pariser Platz!
