It’s still hot!  This was the morning we leave Augsburg for the German Alps.  We sure hope it is a lot cooler there.  The weather says it’ll be 85.  Maybe there will be a breeze and less humidity.  But first, we had to get breakfast and pack up our stuff. We took showers and headed […]

We woke up in Augsburg this morning!  And it was still hot. We showered and dressed.  The first task was get breakfast downstairs.  The breakfast room has a buffet of all types of luncheon meats, cheeses, hard boiled eggs, breads, and toasty things.  The coffee pots was a push button number that no one seemed […]

I promised Aunt Uschi we would be at their house by 9:00 for breakfast.  I did wake up early and thought about moving around.  It just took a few more minutes than I planned.  I showered and dressed as I pushed Rich to the shower.  Packing and picking up the room was easy. I did […]

I woke up at 7:15.  That’s about midnight back home.  The rain was coming down lightly, but it was still humid and warm out there.  Oh well, rain stopped a Zurek Family vacation in the past.  After lazing around for a bit, I got into the shower and back out.  Next, it was time to […]

After months and months of planning, the day finally came when it was time to climb aboard that plane and fly off to Germany. On Wednesday, I got up earlier than normal.  The night before, I was trying to copy files over to the server and make sure I had information moved to where people […]

That day has finally come.  On Saturday, Rick left for Michigan to begin the next chapter in his life. I got up early on Saturday and was settled into the red chair with Sascha reading the paper when Rick got up.  He looked out the window at the inch or so of new snow on […]

No dog to wake me up at 6:00 AM!  I managed to sleep in until 9:00.  What heaven.  We were in no hurry to get moving.  Since everyone thought we were out shopping for a shirt this morning, it worked to our advantage to do it last night.  Breakfast was starting to sound pretty good […]

I got up with Sascha to get things started.  I needed to make sure she went out and came back in to eat before we left to drop her at the kennel.  Unfortunately, she was spending a few days at the kennel while we went to Michigan for Zurek Christmas.  I knew she wouldn’t be […]

We slept in this morning.  That’s the benefit of not having little ones at this time.  Even Sascha slept in this morning.  I think she was tired from the scootering yesterday.  She made three separate trips out.  But she was so happy. I got up and got Sascha outside where she promptly took up station […]

Vacation is nice.  I got up early with Sascha, but ended up back in bed since I was so tired.  I got up late because of this rotation.  Breakfast was simple because Rich had eaten in the meantime. The day was pretty low key.  Rich started the makings for Zurek soup using a recipe that […]
