European Trip;

I flew to Stuttgart where my cousin's Edi and Klaus picked me up. I spend few days with them, they drove me Wandersleben. It was my sister Emma's 90th birthday. She was in the hospital when I arrived but thank God she was able to come home the day of her BD, 45 people showed up with flower and songs it was quite festive, with Kuchen and coffee. My sister Alma and her son Walter drove from Austria to be at the party, it was in Wandersleben. My sister's Ida's daughter Inge and hubby Reinhard came. If you read my book you know, my cousin Christian smuggle me over the border from East to the West in 1947. "Christian is Edi's father." Two of my nieces, Marianne and her daughter Katja, picked me up from there, I spend a few days with them. From there a other niece and family took me to a surprise family picnic. there were twenty of my sister Anna off springs, I had met half of them. Erika her husband Mirus and boys took me back to Ludwigsburg where Edi lives, her mother is in a home we when to see her too. Saw the two Kutz, brothers and their families (10) of them, they took me out to dinner. Edi and Kaus drove me to the airport and I flow to London where my sister Vicki's Family lives. Next time about England. Later Maria
