Tim and I have been going up to St Joseph’s every fall for years now, to their Gluckstadt Germanfest. We go for the food, needless to say! We were afraid with all the wind and rain that they would postpone it, but drove up to check it out just in case, and were happy to find that they were selling the food, and the country store was open in one of their buildings. Everything else had to be cancelled, all the bands, games for the kids, hayrides, pony rides, etc, but the stuff we were interested in was still available! It was pouring rain, and we both got soaked going in and out of the two places for our booty, but we got everything we wanted. Enough bratwurst for lunch and supper, plus a shish-ke-bob for Tim, an apple strudel for me (my first!), extra jars of sauerkraut that the parishioners make themselves, starting in June or July, plus some German mustard. I always get a T-shirt too, I love their logos and shirts. We got home in time for the Saints game, which once again was most painful to watch. I told Tim he will have extra DVD’s before long — I can’t see him keeping these games for his library, so I expect he will start recording over them again soon. I can barely watch them play so pitifully the first time, with all the interceptions, fumbles and penalties, much less watch it again on the DVD we record.
It’s been raining off and on all day, so we’re going to stay here the rest of the afternoon. Watch more football and finish our books. Tim is nearly through with the one he’s been reading (I will have to find him another one soon), and I started one from the library yesterday and read most of the day on it, and now have just 11 pages left. Yeah for me!
