Shy boy

July 31, 2007

He was posing for a great photo. His tiny teeth were all lined up inside a dazzling smile when he became embarrassed. He looked down right as the camera snapped the shot! Images © Copyright reserved to This old shoebox

St-Ursanne la Fantastique!

July 24, 2007

We spent a day visiting St-Ursanne la Fantastique in Switzerland. For the entire summer the village of St-Ursanne is full of the work of a famous illustrator, John Howe. He is known for his work on Lord of the rings. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, we took the train to this wonderful medieval village with [...]

Monday equals laundry

July 23, 2007

Heaps and heaps of it. To be exact a weeks worth of laundry with three accident prone (I admit it is from my genes) kids. I am looking at eight loads of fun. In Switzerland, apartment dwellers must abide by a laundry schedule. Each tenent in my building has half a day one day a [...]

Drawer in the woods

July 23, 2007

We were taking a walk in the mountains. When we stumbled upon a magical drawer inside a fallen tree. Inside the drawer lies a riddle. Can you solve it? Here is another log with a hole for a drawer. On our next walk here I hope to find a new drawer placed inside this log. [...]

Mountain stroll

July 21, 2007

We started our walk a little later in the day than usual. It turned out to be in our luck because of the mist. I felt a few drops on my face and hand here and there. The drops never amounted to more. It was magic walking in the mist. Here are some of the [...]

Our village has just a little over 1000 people living in it. However, we have a train station, bus, Coop, post office, bank, bakery, butcher (2, I think), 2 [...]

Random rambling

July 20, 2007

I have fixed the issue with the blogs. Fantastico was throwing extra code into the WordPress configuration file. I found the answer on the WordPress forum. Once Bluehost got back with me telling me where to go to fix it I was all set. It took about five minutes tops. I really do love WordPress [...]

Angel Girl

July 19, 2007

She is not a baby any longer. She is a beautiful young lady. It amazes me that my daughter is getting almost as tall as I am. In a couple years, I will have to look up instead of down to see her sweet face. I am proud and sad all at the same time [...]

Alone

July 19, 2007

And, lovin’ it!!! Vilay stands in the hall of our apartment building arranging the box holding our new Swisscom phone under his arm. For about three days this phone has not allowed us to answer calls or call out. I have listened to my parents leave messages on our answering machine as I frantically swear [...]
