Beginning of the Week

Mary Jo’s parents are here! They flew in on Sunday evening. It’s now Tuesday. We have been doing stuff, but in unual Mary Jo and Will fashion, we haven’t been blogging. Expect some sort of big post later… like next weekend. Today begins our traveling around the country, so there’s going to be a lot […]


Differences


Spring Walk

We’ve been having some pretty nice weather around here lately, so on Tuesday we decided to take a little walk down south to a cemetery. I know, I know, creepy. Before we get to that, we wanted to show you a neat tree near where we live. From far off it looks fairly normal. Then […]


Update

Only a few things to report.  On Saturday, we went to a barbecue picnic thing behind the building as a celebration of a friend’s birthday.  The weather was nice and the food was decent.  We made ham pickle creamcheese rolls, which most people thought were odd, except for those from Wisconsin or Minnesota.  Everyone decided […]


Michael und Sabine

When I learned German in high school, it was all based around little stories about these two young people named Michael und Sabine.  They would do things related to the vocabulary and cultural items that people learn when they learn German.  For example, we learn about their families, they go out to eat, do chores, […]


Jenna in Vienna

You can thank Mary Jo for that title. I didn’t even realize that rhymed until she mentioned it… Anyway! We got an email from our college friend Jenna that she was going to be in Vienna for a few days. Despite the busy schedule for that week, we planned time. We left Linz right after […]


Little Update

We actually got harassed about not updating! Rightly so I would say. Unfortunately, there just hasn’t been much to update you on. Joni has been teaching and I’ve been studying for a certification exam this week. Speaking of this week, the end of the week will be quite interesting. Jenna, a friend from college will […]


Lake Trip

Today we decided to visit the little lake near Linz. We managed to find it with no trouble whatsoever. All we needed to do was take a bus up to a semi-large stop, then get on another bus that brought us right there. Of course as with most lakes, the second we got there we […]


Micro-Update

After Sheepie got settled in, things got pretty quiet here. I’m done teaching that business English course, and my German course has ended. Mary Jo is just going along doing her teaching thing. The only real news is that the weather has been beautiful here. It’s been pushing 70 degrees and has just been wonderful. […]


Sheepie Fits In

Well, after the adjustment “issues” we had with the last addition to the family, I’m glad to see that Sheepie is fitting right in.
