Kayserberg, France

We took part of a day and drove to one of our favorite Alsacian towns in France. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

A special visit to a special dog!

During our time in Germany we were able to visit our dog KD. She was so excited to see us! She still remembered the tricks that Tim had taught her! We are happy that she is in a very loving German home. We were even invited to come back and dog sit her sometime and stay in her home while the family goes on vacation!

Holzen and Storchenblick

The village of Holzen in Germany was my home for six years - from 1981-1987 - when I was still single and was an r.a. (residence assistant) at Storchenblick, BFA's oldest girls dorm. I have so many happy memories of this place. It was fun to take a leisurely stroll through this quaint town with Tim and reminisce about the good old days.



Storchenblick

The Pattersons, dorm parents at Storchenblick for the past three years, have transformed this place! Dorm dad, Jim, is an artist, and he has his artwork displayed throughout the dorm. Beautiful!

Graduation Day 2011 - Black Forest Academy

Tim and I have just returned from eight very full and unforgettable days in Germany. We had a wonderful time connecting with old friends as well as BFA students. Tim was invited to give the commencement address at BFA's graduation, and that is why we made the trip.
Here is a glimpse into that special event which took place on June 3.
