have you heard?

 Rachel and I take advantage of a beautiful day by taking a walk up to Gebhardsberg.

It's such pretty light here.

We were picked up by the family for a ride up an even bigger mountain.  Mike, Jacob and I didn't go,  something about mental stability and lack of brawn.

But we did have time for lunch with the bikers at a farmers place.  

Rachel has become a real athlete.

Dish 1, don't know what it is.

The dollop on top is basically fat with a little lean tossed in then it's whipped to a frenzy.  It has a real interesting smokey tasts.

This is a meat salad not to be confused with a meat plate.  There is a difference.

Done to the last drop

The farmer has this view as he does his plowing.   Kinda like Weston.

Jacob and his new shirt, a gift from his aunt Leslie.  We support our Texas schools even in Austria.

Big soccer day!  Someone is playing someone else and the country is agog.   We are having a giant cook out to be followed by the watching of THE game.  Andy's cousin Klaus his wife Martina and their children Kilean, Lina and Live are joining us for  the holy feast day.  Here we have the kids table.  They are having wienerle and salad.

This is Kilian.

And Lina and Jacob.

last but not at all least is Live, quite a personality!

Live and Hannah wishing they could swim.

This is Live and Spooky.  Spooky is a 4 month old Labradoodle, Chocolate brown and of the F1 breed.  He will get to be as large as a reg. Lab.

Mia might think Spooky is just that.

Our head soccer champ.

She is really cute and very polite.

Spooky almost still

What a face and Rachel is beautiful too.

Dinner is on!  It's pork belly cooked very slowly on the grill, ummmm.

Well the moment we have all been waiting for, it's Chelsea and Munich.  Great fun and a great game especially since  most of our team won.
