Community

May 30, 2009

Things that made my Friday wonderful: Using the barbacue that is available to residents of our building. There is a picnic table as well but we decided to eat inside due to the wind and cold. Seeing two green bean plants and one zucchini plant starting to peek out of the soil. Talking to my [...]

Asking myself

May 29, 2009

…Where my writer’s voice went. I know that after my oldest daughter went back to the States I lost pieces of myself. Certainly…My writer’s voice. Even the camera. The one thing I never grew tired of. I didn’t have heart when I picked it up. Each day, the camera, this blog, the steps, thinking, being…All [...]

The rest of Strasbourg in photos

May 28, 2009

…Starting around Strasbourg Cathedral and ending in Place Contades (a park) which is near to where we had parked. The Cathedral peaking over buildings. Did you know it was the world’s tallest building from 1647 to 1874? I love all the old roofs leaning into each other. Vilay took photo above. Place Kléber is redone [...]

Around Strasbourg

May 26, 2009

We started our walk around Strasbourg near Saint Paul Church. You can still find free parking in this area if you look. I was excited to see the city again. Even after a few hours in the hot, hot sun with aching feet due to breaking in new shoes, I was not ready to leave. [...]

Oh Mister Sun

May 20, 2009

Mr. Golden Sun… Is shining down on me! :) It is 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) and it is only 9:30 in the morning! It is suppose to get into the low 20′s (70′s F) later today. I told Vilay last night during a walk around the village that the five months of snow [...]

Etang de la Gruère

May 19, 2009

We ended our four hour walk last Sunday at the Etang de la Gruère near Saignelégier.   The Gruère pond is a perfect place to spend two or three hours.  I want to go back when the flowers are in bloom.  The last time we were there it was two years ago and in the [...]

Jura, je t’aime

May 17, 2009

I love the Jura. These are photos from our walk today. I have so many more that I will share over this week. The mountains are a sea of brightly dressed Dandelions. I don’t know how many times I looked at my husband and told him that I can’t believe that we are lucky enough [...]

Feeling life

May 16, 2009

I have begun to feel life again. Inside, I was locked away trying to sort out so many strong emotions. Emotions too strong for me to handle without some time passing. Time has passed and I am ready to deal with feeling all that I had pushed deep into the dark. It is time to [...]

Eight years

May 14, 2009

Eight years ago, I stood with a nervous happiness as I faced you with my hands in yours. Eight years ago, I said I do. Eight years ago, I became your wife. Eight years ago, we started our life as a family. Eight years ago, our love was so fresh and delicate like the flowers [...]

We went to Lausanne the Saturday before last. It was a gorgeous day. The carnival was going on and we had the opportunity to meet up with an old friend of Vilay’s from high school. We were on the way to Lausanne for the day when Vilay got a call from one of his best [...]
