Fraulein – Second Impressions

Been a busy four days:  Let’s try and recap some of this

Homefront:  Lisa and dogs coexisting ok.  Lisa and family doing ok.  I guess, and only speaking for myself, we thought it would be more Lisa-doing-what-Kevin-was-doing-after-school.  Turn out it’s more of a figure out what the German friends are doing and that’s what goes on….very much play-it-by-ear and it’s a little chaotic (and with soccer and lacrosse and everything else going on it’s been interesting).

Last night was a good story; we knew, and I was ready for it, that some of Lisa’s friends wanted to see the rehearsal for the musical so when I came to get Kevin/Lisa after the musical I’d be taking four more fraulein’s home.  I pick them up, take one girl to their house who isn’t feeling well, but, then take the others out to another house that they’ve been invited to.

Get there (and it’s a mansion! yeesh!) and nobody is there.  This US girl is the only one who didn’t list her cell on the contact list; Kevin doesn’t have it.  Finally call her Dad; he’s on his way home from work, be there in ten minutes, knows nothing about it.  Gets home, we finally figure out that this US girl (who invited them?  I still don’t know the truth of it..) isn’t there and won’t be home until 9.

So, since the rest of our clan (Mom, Dad, Matthew) were going out to this restaurant to meet two other families for Matthew’s buddy’s birthday, the fraulein’s tagged along.  Glad Kevin got a chance to hang out with them; things seem to be going well.
