Off to Germany in a Warm Coat

My standards are very low, but even I thought Gary's boutique topcoat needed replacing. So I went to Men's Wearhouse yesterday and bought him a new one. When he tried it on in the evening, it proved to be way too big. So we went back and got a different one. I like this one lots better, it fits, and it cost $30 less. He should be able to wear it when he goes to Germany again in March, and maybe a trip to Michigan sometime this winter too.


He's off to Germany for just a few days to a conference called the DRIVER Summit. He's missing other meetings going on here, but will return in time to attend the last two days. He wanted me to be sure to say this if I blogged about his trip: Sandra and Doro, he's only going to be in your fair country a short time and will see you in March, so don't get mad that he didn't come to visit this time. :-)

Tonight he will miss Soup Group, the Bible study group that meets for soup at our house every Tuesday. We're having split pea and ham soup with this loaf of homemade whole wheat bread that just came out of the oven--yum! (I wonder when computers are going to be able to send aroma files across the internet??)
