Visitors



We had some senators visit the Unit the other day and so we (just a few of us) took a picture with the Illinois Senator who happened to have had a son who was injured down range and was taken treated at LRMC. Just thought I would share. There were more people there but mostly this groups is nurses, doctors, techs and of course the Senator.

So as my dad was in town so were my friend Rhoda's parents. So like any good kids who need to find ways to keep your folks entertained we took them to dinner together!!




Pa comes to town

My dad came to visit me this past week or so. I was very excited to see him since really in January I don't recall much of our get together since I was so sick. I did have to work two of the days here was here but no worries he found things to do. Such as build me a shrunk!! On my days off we went to Heidelberg, Trier and then for three days went up to Holland.


Trier




Heidelberg


Holland









I have a million pictures of all the flowers and tulips but I will not bore you with them now. On a side note I accidentally erased every picture in Holland and Amsterdam till we were at the tulip fields, yes I was very sad!!! When my dad left yesterday he took the chip to see if he could recover the files ie the wonderful pictures I had taken. Keep your fingers crossed!!!











In review

Let me think back and share with you my family all the things I have done this past month while I have stepped away from the computer.

In the beginning of March I switched to a new team, team 2. They work days which is agreeing with me ten times better than nights for my mental health. I adored my team on nights (team 4)and they will of course be my family here and I am sure I will stay in touch with them as time goes by. Working nights in Germany was a bit hard just due to nothing being open after six or seven. It was also a bit hard this winter since I really never got to see sunlight due to our geographical location in the world. All is well now and I am loving seeing sunlight. As I told my boss flowers need sunlight to grow me being the flower that is.

St. Patrick's day here is just as festive as it is in the states




I have had my first visitors here in my new home. The first being Flat Ava from Cincinnati


The second visitor being my father whom I will be so kind as to devote a whole post to!
Life is going smoothly so far and the traveling is picking up. Dad and I just did Holland and parts of Germany. I will be going to Ireland next month and possibly Barcelona come June.
