How Is Julie

It was a hot, hot day so we dressed as cool as we could.

I didn't take a picture of the front of her house. This is a shot of our hostess' sun room that faces east. We came up the stairs from the road in the back and walked around to the front of the house.

It is on a the National Register of Historic Places.

This plaque can be seen from the entrance we took.

We headed to the lovely dining room and got a cold drink.

I enjoyed looking around the main floor.

We had appetizers and later dinner! That was a surprise, but I rose to the challenge.

Gunther Hoffmann, Honorary German Consul, and Robert had a chat.

Some of the view from the back patio where we ate with Norma Paulus and others. We had quite the lively discussion.

The side yard had vegetables and beautiful hydrangeas.

Lilies were near our patio table.

Later we were asked to come and gather near the staircase. I was impressed by the tapestry hanging there.

Here are some of the people present, as they wait for the program to start.

Our hostess, Consul Mary Jean Thompson, gave us all background information about Liechtenstein and the significance of this special day.

Robert and I then had some cake and went home.

Here is the menu on the wall inside, but the waitress brought me a printed one.

She sang lots of songs I knew and loved, so I was happy.

Robert's Lovejoy delux burger on house made bun with Fontina, apple-wood smoked bacon, rosemary garlic pommes frits.

Bre Gregg listens to the excellent guitar player.

Lee Ann's Pernod steamed mussels, fennel, Italian sausage, navy beans, shallots

I had fish, Dijon caper creme fraiche, on polenta.

We had dinner with the kids in the restaurant of the Doubletree Motel where we all stayed the night. Madison and Grandpa color and wait for dinner.

Max and Madison share some noodles. Notice Max's helicopter shirt.

Max pulls along his own suitcase (essentials) which we gave him a while back.

Madison is a pretty girl, you have to admit.

Max likes to give and receive hugs. We loved it.
