A fun night with the Germans.

Very tasty potato pancakes.






Genius belt buckle - spot the subtle colour difference.

























We went to the Rothskeller for some German grub and a sing song.




Anna's first... cup cake.



We'll see if my pumpkin turns out as good as this.

























Barb also took me on a beautiful Autumn day to Franklyn cider mill for cider and warm doughnuts. MMMMMmmmmm. DEEEEEElicious.






















Barb kindly took me to downtown ( I feel sooooo American saying that!) Royal Oak for hot apple cider (non alcoholic in America) and my first cup cake.

Anna's amazing photography skills.

Delta Kappa Gamma


It was lovely to meet so many people dedicated to children's future.


I shared my timetable - they were shoked by the number of subjects that I taught - but not as shocked at the planning!!















I was honoured to go and talk to a group of teachers that form the Clawson Delta Kappa Gamma group. They meet to discuss education and raise funds to assist education projects that they see fit.
