Christmas in Beedenbostel was a wonderful week of visits with Bob's AFS family. We shared many memories of visits in the past, to Germany with Tina and Andrew when they were young and the visits of Mattias and Gudrun canoeing with Edie and Hutch , the many visits of Ota and Eve and of Mutti as well. Also of Lilli and Gunther to Tamworth....so many wonderful memories. We had wonderful German food, venison, red cabbage, quark and of course potatoes. I learned how to make herring salad with Mutti giving me the directions in German and we even had Gudrun's homemade pesto and the venison was from Mattias' successful hunting. We caught up with the children and met some of the grandchildren of the Liman clan having coffee in Brokel with Ota and Eve. Bob went with Mattias to his hunting grounds, no wild boar to be seen even though the trails were there. WE spent an evening in Celle with Rainer and Sabine and Thomas and Erika and Lilli and Gunther. We walked, we laughed, stayed up late and slept in. Heilige Abend (Christmas Eve) was especially beautiful in the church and at Mutti's with the tree and its many real candles lit for Chirstmas. We hope you all had a Christmas filled with the warmth and joy of family and friends.
