Snow blanket

December 1, 2010

It has been snowing here for most of the day. It is beautiful. Bulldozers are out clearing the roads and mini-bulldozers are out clearing the sidewalks. The snow falls silently and faithfully. It is like we are covered in a snow blanket. No pics for the moment. I will try to get out and get [...]

All white

November 28, 2010

We took a walk around our personal winter wonderland. I don’t think I can ever get used to the beauty that lies right at my feet. The Jura is simply breathtaking. Even after three and a half years of living here, I still have to pinch myself to be sure that I am not dreaming. [...]

November 22, 2010

I got hit hard with a nasty bug, again. For the past three or so nights I haven’t slept much due to my excessive coughing. I, usually, move to the couch so I don’t wake up Vilay. I am annoyed that I have been sick most of this month. I am ready to feel well. [...]

Mulled wine

November 15, 2010

Vilay and I had our first mulled wine in celebration of this upcoming holiday season. It was a good way to fight off a cold rainy day in Bale. My In-laws came for a visit this past weekend. It was nice to have them here. They bought a desk for each girl as a [...]

Our new MacBook Pro

November 11, 2010

I am fighting the keyboard because Vilay insisted that we use the French keyboard even if the keyboard was Swiss. Meaning that I have typed over three years on a keyboard that didn’t match the keys. I had to KNOW where the keys were without looking. Now? Vilay has decided that we should learn the [...]

Our cheese knife

October 12, 2010

Rocks! We bought this cheese knife a few weekends back. Now, I don’t understand how we went so long without one. We eat our fair share of cheese as a family and it really is much easier to slice and serve with this knife.

This weekend was spent visiting friends and cleaning. I still have some cleaning to do. It can wait until tomorrow. The kids have been on fall break. We have been enjoying lots of sunshine and summer-like days. I am sure the snow is going to come soon and some say it will be a very [...]

changing colors for fall

October 6, 2010

I have good reasons for not blogging lately. I have (all of a sudden) a real social life. I have my kids that demand more and more of me. I have a husband that likes hot meals and clean underwear. I have a cat that woke me up last night for some serious petting because [...]

From the eyes of a child

September 20, 2010

If I didn’t have kids I would have walked right past these rabbits and chickens without much thought. With kids, it is a must stop and look and pet and really all around sweet moment.
