Pictures From Our Apartment and FIRESIDE

Pictures of the city of Frankfurt from our apartment on the 11th floor. The steeple in the distance is probably the Catholic church from which we hear bells ringing on the hour. We have a clear view of the Europe Area Office and the Church building where we attend church. We can see if anyone is in our office. Speaking of clear views, this sunny day is one to be enjoyed because it is usually overcast and drizzily.

Note: Pam & Ed Dittmar have been long-time friends of ours since they moved into our Provo Ward years ago. Then they spent 5-6 years at the Hill Cumorah Pageant with us so she could work on the costume staff when I was the costume designer. When we arrived in Frankfurt they picked us up from the airport...was it ever good to be greeted by much loved friends after our long journey!!! How amazing that we are both on missions here together! It is wonderful to be able to see them now so often because we haven't seen them much during the past few years because they moved from Provo to Idaho a few years ago.
