Föhr (Nordfriesland) Weekend Visit 15-17 September 2007


My Father celebrated his Golden Confirmation (meaning 50 years since he was officially confirmed as a member of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church - St. Nikolai on the island of Föhr, Nordfriesland, Germany with his schoolmates during the weekend 15 through 17 September 2007. Fortunately, I was able to join my parents and other relatives there for a quick visit and family reunion. It was a glorious, fantastic, perfect time! The island is so beautiful and has lovely beaches. It was terrific seeing aunts, uncles and cousins I have not seen for a while. Heimzwerg was able to come along, too, and partake in the festivities.

































On a sad and unfortunate note, my Mother had fallen at JFK Airport before boarding the Emirates flight JFK to HAM (Hamburg, for those not familiar with the three-letter airline industry city/airport codes). Therefore, it appears that she has a strange moustache...it is a bruise. My Mother is the paradigm of positivism - nothing keeps her down..."Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."
I have absolutely amazing parents. I have been truly blessed! I love them so, so, so much!
