Yesterday, we went to Kandern (where Sarah spent her high school years, and where Randy and Jan lived for the past 7 years) to play basketball (Randy and I) and eat ice cream (Sarah and Jan). After basketball, we went and had dinner/dessert at the house of some of Randy and Jan's friends. The 'house' is actually a joint structure owned by two separate families; it's quite amazing: once a mill, it was built in 1357 (not a typo, 1357) and has many of the original stones and beams (still intact). The families have spent the last three years restoring their respective sides; each has a distinct feel, and each is quite amazing.

We don't have too much going on today. Sarah and Jan are at a local thrift shop, Randy is running errands, and I'm manning the fort. And by fort, I mean the house. And by house, I mean the computer. And by computer, I mean the cookies.
