Tuesday evening we met Thayne and family half way between their two homes for dinner. Thayne chose a BBQ restaurant and ordered
"2 lids" This is what came and it was very good!
Each plate had 2 or 3 different meats, cold slaw, baked beans, corn muffins & french fries
Blair, Paxton and Thayne are enjoying the meal.
Jenny, Dana and Serena are doing the same.
Following the meal and before we went our separate ways -

In order to have a chance to see Amanda and Joseph, Serena and Blair arranged for us to meet about half way between where Amanda lives and where they live.
We traveled to Frankenmuth - also known as Little Bavaria. We found a Crepe shop where we had our brunch. It was very interesting and enlightening to watch the large crepes being made on three large cooking areas. The ingredients were placed on and when cooked and hot, the crepe was folded in half then in thirds and put in a triangle shaped bag.
Blair, - who never wanted to be far from Joseph -
Joseph being fed by his grandfather
And Amanda.
A closer picture would show how much Joseph looks like his mother.
After having been in Germany, I was amazed at the efforts that had been made to recreate many of the scenes we had seen
Even to the Easter Egg decorations hanging around. This one was in front of the largest year around Christmas store in the world. When we were in Germany, there were many places still decorated with a multitude of plastic multicolored Easter eggs.
One of the last things Kerali showed us in Germany was a year around Christmas store.
You can imagine my amazement to be in Michigan and find the epitome of a year around Christmas store.
Some views of the huge store.
Serena was looking at fake Christmas trees because she would like to get a different one.
I found this one to the right and told them if I were going to do a "theme" Christmas tree, this would be the one. It was covered in crystal and that has always been a favorite of mine.
The Bonner family - obviously a German family- started the year around Christmas store.
Serena and Blair was curtains for the front end of their Air-stream trailer.
