Our apartment and office

My desk is in the front.
 


This is the bookcase at the side in our office.

Now for our apartment:
 Our bedroom


The Bathroom

The front hall

The kitchen has a dishwasher and also a clothes washer and dryer combo.
However, not many cupboards for counter space .. or even walking space.
Just about room for one person!

The living room and also where we have to eat ...
because there certainly isn't any room to eat in the kitchen.


The den/extra bedroom for you all to stay in when you come to see us.

Our outside patio where we hang our wet laundry
and it has a beautiful view of Frankfurt.

 
The other side of our living room ... The TV side!

2013 Frankfurt Car Show



Before the car show, we took the Tram downtown Frankfurt
to the Flea Market. 


This pic is of cars and airplanes for Hyrum.

It was raining lots as we crossed the bridge.
There are a lot of wedding locks on the bridge.


Elder and Sister Wing went with us to the Car Show.

A nice Porsche that I wish I could take home with me!


















 

 

A cool bumper that pulls out to make a bike rack.









Looks good on you, Elder Jacques!

1st Saturday Downtown Frankfurt

On Friday, we had a fun picnic with two other senior couples, Elder and Sister Stay and Elder and Sister Wing.  We had chicken, potato salad, watermelon, chips, and cookies.  It was a beautiful evening and we had lots of fun.

 
Saturday morning, we had a baptism at the church which was from the German Branch, so it was all in German.  However, we learned at the spirit can be heard and felt in any language.

We then went downtown to check out Frankfurt.  We rode the tram with Elder and Sister Wing.  There was a political rally going on so there were many people and lots of yelling on the loud speakers.   We had lunch at a wonderful fish restaurant and had chocolate cake at an cute little outside cafĂ©.
