Today we decided to visit the little lake near Linz. We managed to find it with no trouble whatsoever. All we needed to do was take a bus up to a semi-large stop, then get on another bus that brought us right there. Of course as with most lakes, the second we got there we […]
After Sheepie got settled in, things got pretty quiet here. I’m done teaching that business English course, and my German course has ended. Mary Jo is just going along doing her teaching thing. The only real news is that the weather has been beautiful here. It’s been pushing 70 degrees and has just been wonderful. […]
Well, after the adjustment “issues” we had with the last addition to the family, I’m glad to see that Sheepie is fitting right in.
Well, that snuck up on us. I had no idea this was even a thing over here, but apparently people take Mardi Gras pretty seriously in Austria. Mary Jo and I were both swamped with work last night, so we didn’t go out. It was a bit of a bummer, but she had to get […]

Like sledding, tubing, or snowshoeing… all of which they claim to have. Second, and this ties directly into the first item, if it isn’t skiing, it’s a second […]
Well, we’re in the mountains. We grabbed a train from Linz this morning and started the big travel. We arrived in Salzburg a little over an hour later. We waited there until the train for Zell am See arrived. Yeah, that’s a city name. Once we arrived there, we waited half an hour for a […]
Do you remember this picture? It would be impressive if you did, since that’s a new picture. *snicker* No, there was a very similar one on here a while back. The reason this is being re-posted is because for MJ’s birthday, I got lederhosen. Yeah. Joni has wanted me to get some for a while, […]
