As usual, the weekend was full of fun events and adventures of every kind. Saturday morning began with a trip to the market, of course. The last time my parents visited the Hofer market was in 2008. Every time I have been there since then, I have always picked up some spices unique to Hof for my mom. Since she was there herself this time, she picked out exactly what she wanted.

Next it was time for the men to do a little maintenance on my new Mercedes (well...new to me), which I had just switched over to my name the day before.
While Helmut and my dad putzed around with the car, Jeanette gave my mom a tour of the garden and showed her all the vegetables she had grown this season.
From there we left for a local market that only happens once a year. They had a large field with lots of vendors selling handmade and artistic items. I picked up a small tote bag for myself, while Jeanette and Helmut bought some flowers for the garden.
On Saturday evening, Jeanette fixed another wonderful meal and we enjoyed the company of the whole family. The patio was so crowded that I had to take a panoramic photo to fit everyone in! From left to right: Tobias, Sigrid, Hartmut, my dad, Stefan, Lisa, Sabine, Laura, Sebastian, Jeanette, my mom, Helmut.
Sunday morning we went to church and then had a typical German meal from that region. All I can say is...Guten Appetit!
Then it was time to leave Hof and head to our next adventure. The weekend was far too short, but we were all thankful for the time we had together as a family. Jeanette and Helmut's house will always be my 2nd home in Germany, and I hope to visit them again soon.
