Richer than Wine

After our scrumptuous four-course meal last evening, we hit the pillows again like bricks. Another nine hours for us! We are setting records here! I think Germany agrees with us, or we are exhausted and letting down enough to really sleep. Maybe both. I sat on the sofa and Wayne lied in bed and read the…
