Piper's early March update

Some fun things:

Great visit with Aunt and Uncle. We went to Sigmaringen, a jaunt to the castle there for a Saturday afternoon. Lovely, but cold inside. It has an amazing collection of medieval armor. Between that and the hunting room with more than 800 heads/antlers on the wall, Micah was beside himself wanting to play with the irreplaceable relics.
BTW, we saw our first just-go-and-get-yourself-a-glass-of-water fountain at a bakery there. Giddy! I had to take a picture.

MM opened an art gallery with the pieces she had worked on in the car ride. They were reasonably priced at "either a German or an American euro, which ever is easier."

We also went to an Easter market with friends. It was out in a farming village. Heavy on spring planting. Light on Easter. As I am garden-less this year, it threw me into a fit of depression and longing for mulch. Susan must have seen the look on my face. She and George bought me a basket of grape hyacinth.
Andy took them to the train at 5:30 this morning for their train to Paris... We miss them already.
