I AM 100 PERCENT German.

My plate, filled with German foods like sauerbraten, sauerkraut, German potato salad, sweet and sour beets and more at St. John’s annual Germanfest.
I like German food.
Today was a gorgeous autumn day here in southeastern Minnesota, as glorious as they get.

The steeple of the historic stone church with the roofline of a German themed beverage booth in the foreground.
St. John’s United Church of Christ, Wheeling Township, rural Faribault, was hosting its annual Germanfest at its historic stone church out in the country.
I had to eat.
And I couldn’t think of a better place to dine on this Sunday afternoon than at St. John’s. Great food in the company of wonderful folks. Out in the country. Perfect weather. Perfect day.

Some of the St. John’s kitchen crew, including long-time member Elsie Keller who is making German potato salad.

Along with fresh produce and baked goods and greeting cards (some published by Warner Press with verses I wrote) and apple jelly was this art (including these cute pooches).

How is it possible that I have never actually “followed” you? I guess I just always check and never actually pressed that “follow” button! Good grief. Problem solved.
I only recently added the “subscribe by email” option. Good grief! Welcome.
