It’s been quite some time since my last post.  I’ve been very busy lately.  I’m trying to scrape up some money for a new laptop so I wrote a short story for a writing competition.  I so wish I could share that story with all of you but I can’t right now; the competition clearly asked for unpublished stories. 

I also finally finished Chapter four, entitled First Encounters, of Bebokia the Hidden Planet.  Completing a chapter always give me an adrenaline rush.  It takes at least a whole day for me to calm down and begin the next chapter.  Is that strange?

After six years I’ve finally started to drive again.  It’s true what they say; driving is something you never forget how to do.  The streets in Germany are little bit different than the streets in the US.   The signs are also different and that takes a while to get used to.   It’s amazing how driving gives you such a feeling of freedom.  

Everyone’s getting ready for the Easter holiday.  We’re planning a chocolate egg hunt for the little ones (and the big ones too).   The apartment needs to be spotless for our guests so I’ve been doing some heavy cleaning.  I was planning to make potato salad and bought all the ingredients except for the potatoes.  I’ll have to make time to go back to the grocery store.

I’ve been teaching my son some basic reading and math skills before he starts school in August.  It’s so important that he has a head start.  The German school system is lacking in everything.  I don’t have anything good to say about that subject so I’ll just leave it at that. 

I will do my best to post more often.  I think two posts a month is reasonable…
