Just an update and a few silly questions.......

For those of you who may be interested, I guess this will just be a blog to catch people up with my boring little life :)

Girls night out was a blast. We ate at Panera bread.....sandwiches, salads, soups and sweets and coffee/tea are always nice when shared with friends. We stayed until they closed and Dawn even got bread for free that they were going to throw out to make way for the fresh bread baked the next morning. We were too late to get the Asagio Cheese bread....it already hit the garbage can. Maybe next time :)
The time always go by fast when you're chatting with your gal pals.
We saw the movie Music and Lyrics and I must say that Hugh Grant looks very smashing in his tight pants :) The movie was perfect for our age group.......we are a product of the 80's (he,he,he). It was easy to picture yourself as the "groupie"!!!
We tried to get an attendant to take our picture, but they tried twice with no success.....therefore there is no picture to post.
Maybe this Sat. we'll have better luck taking pictures at our crop/movie night at Dawn's. We convienced her to have a movie and treats after the crop........Lake House!!! Looks like a good chick flick:)
What am I ever going to do in Germany?

Well we managed to get the basement spray painted. It's so white and bright. I'm going to try to paint in the bathroom down there once my son goes to school. Wish me luck. This is going to take a few days because I move pretty slow.
We're hoping to get carpet installed this week, hopefully by Wed. so we can play down there when our friends come over Thursday to play!!!!!
My Gal Pal Kim had her birthday this past Sat.......in case you're reading this Happy Birthday again!!!!! Can't wait to see you Thursday.........you get to come play at my house for a change:) Of course I'll be missing the home improvement shows at your house, no cable TV here.

The weekend was busy as usual........painting, gymnastics, soccer, and we went bowling Sunday. Duckpin. The kids had a blast. They were really getting the hang of it by the end. I wonder if they have duckpin bowling in Germany?

Here's some questions for all my blogger friends that live in Germany.........
Are there movie theaters with English speaking films or subtitles?
Are there places like bowling alleys and billards there?
What are the entertainment places around Stuttgart? For Children or Adults? I know there is the Wilheim Zoo near there.

Time to go finish getting my little guy ready for school.
Hope I wasn't too boring!

To answer a couple of your questions.

Are there movie theaters with English speaking films or subtitles?

Yes-- You can find OV (original version) films.

Are there places like bowling alleys and billiards there?

Yes, and they are a lot of fun! :)

I know my questions probably seem silly. Thanks for answering them.
It will be nice to go OUT to a movie and be able to understand what they are saying.

There are English-language films shown. We haven't gone to see any yet. The one time we planned to do it, the wrong reel had been sent to the theater and it was a dubbed version instead of a subtitled version!

There are bowling and billiards. Some of the bowling is a different style and some is American-style.

I don't know too much about Stuttgart aside from my one visit but it's a pretty large place and I imagine it has all kinds of great stuff for families.

There are no silly questions. I am living in my fourth country in four years (if you count the U.S.), and often times, I wonder the same things!

Yes, definitly! There's a nice pool hall just across from Sophies Brauhaus, a great place for a weekend out, but get there early.





What are the entertainment places around Stuttgart? For Children or Adults? I know there is the Wilheim Zoo near there.

There's a lot of stuff to do. The zoo is one of the best I've ever seen. As far as kid's entertainment, there are even one and two ring circuses going on through the summer. There's a lot of good restaurants and bars, depending on your taste, but the Irish Pub is always fun - Karaoke.

There's bowling here just off the Liederhall train stop, I think. You can't miss it.

You'll have a great time here.
