Saturday was a warm Spring like day in Neuchâtel. We spent the day walking around the blue lake and busy streets of this beautiful city. Music from street players drifted into one street and out the other as people walked slowly enjoying the sun.
Turning a corner we were stopped by a small [...]

The price of a smile
Video of Lake Neuchâtel (Lac de Neuchâtel)
We went to Neuchâtel, yesterday, to print off the papers I need to request my Ohio driving record. It was a beautiful day with Spring like weather.
Vilay made this short video to remember it by. Enjoy!

Photohunt: different

The first time I listened to this recording of Tom [...]
Snowing like crazy
We got more snow last night and it is still coming down hard. It isn’t supposed to stop until tonight.
I had trouble walking because the snow was so slick. The kids loved slip sliding along. However, I think I hurt something on the third fall I took.
In Ohio, the schools would have closed due to [...]
Guess what we got last night?
SNOW! It is still coming down.
It has once again turned in to a winter wonderland here in the Jura.
Beautiful. white. snow. everywhere.
I guess I better go dig out all my kids snow suits I was silly enough to think they wouldn’t be needing again this winter.
