I thought the punchline was going to be "does it take to screw in a light bulb", lol!

I like Killeen, my dear SIL was stationed there, the biggest Army base in America I think. When visiting they took me all over, it is a nice town but surprising in that it seemed every house was made from brick.
Try to have someone take you to see that famous statue on base. It's a little Iraqi girl patting the shoulder of a grieving soldier. Very moving display. SIL took me there since I'd seen it online.
Daughter teaches there, she likes it.

Hallo wie gehts

I am a HALF KRAUT....my mutti came to US via CAnada back in 1958! SHe is from Berlin. She is now the last of her family alive. SHe misses having someone to speak GErman with!

Welcome to America and to the QB...

PS..my children are also more German than I! Their father's father was from Hanover! So dad was a half kraut and mom is a half kraut..my boys are ALL kraut..hehehe
While living in Italy, the Italian shop owner's always spoke German to me..they thought for sure I was Germania, no Americana...because I actually shopped on the economy and not at the base!

I've got German blood and know how to say Bratwurst!

My uncle married a girl from Germany so now I have an aunt Ingrid. My husband's last name is German...Niswonger.

Hallo, alle mit einander!!! Wie geht's?
I've met my husband in Berlin (born and bread there), got married there and since then we are moving around the world.
But we are starting to think about retirement...maybe California?

I lived in Giessen, Germany for 3 years...does that count?
