Things I’m planning to do while in Michigan:
*Watch our oldest child, Danielle, graduate from college (I keep kicking myself—is this the bald little ET-looking baby, all grown up?). Congrats, Dani!
*Walk through the nature preserve where our son David’s working over the summer.
*Take our kids out for Lebanese food, Tapas, and Mexican (in Grand Rapids, of all places).
*Buy items that are hard to find in Germany (ie,Cheese Fantastico, by special request) and bring them back in my suitcase.
*Visit Eerdmans discount bookstore at the publishing house.
*Take Jeff & Anna up and show them the lakefront—a bit different than our Oregon beaches.
*Go see Spiderman 3 and any other new movies on a big screen.
*Hug my parents multiple times (and don’t forget Kleenex when it’s time to say goodbye).

And check out my sweet new house...
Have a safe and wonderful trip! Saying goodbye to parents who live far away never gets easier :-(

you cant buy cheese fantastico in MI, yet one of the many reasons why people should never be forced to endure more than four years here...:)
Have fun together! So close and yet so far from Oregon...Congratulations, Danielle! Love you!
HEY! We saw Spiderman 3 on at the Cinoplex in Mannheim last Sunday and were the only people in the theater. Was hysterical, but the good news is....they show movies in original version...in English!!
Will have to tell you about it when you return.

Hi Laurie,
Glad you're back in the U.S. even for just awhile. Are you still in Michigan?
Heartiest congratulations to Danielle! Now what are your plans after graduation?
Have a great time with your family there. Thanks.
Ruth -- Thanks,we had a great trip! And yes, tough goodbyes.
Beth -- See you in Oregon in August, I can't wait...
Laura -- I'll have to check out the Cineplex, it's been too long!
Minnie -- Danielle plans to work in Germany until early 2008, then go somewhere in French-speaking Africa with the Peace Corps.
