05.03.08Saturday in the sunThe horses were interested in us, but only from a safe distance. You can see smoke in the background where a farmer was burning wood that he had cleared from his land. Here another farmer has the bonfire ready to go. Cows taking a pause for a drink. Cows in a field of daffodils. Daffodils grow wild in the fields. It is so beautiful. This little dog ran past us without even stopping to say hello. How rude! The baby cows were too cute all huddled together. I see these mushrooms often in the Jura. This one was in a school yard but ...

05.01.08Tour de RomandieYesterday, we found ourselves beside the road watching the Tour de Romandie. Below are some of the photos we took and one video. The part where all the bikes went by at once was pretty exciting for the children even if it didn't last long. You can hear my kids in the background of the video. Several vehicles drove by with a huge watch on top as shown above. Some of the cars pulled over and gave us gifts such as fanny packs, free cheese and water bottles with their logos on them. The kids were thrilled with ...

04.30.08Question = AnswerSissi asked me: My question is:how did you meet your husband ? Would you like to go back to the US ? ( to live there not to vacation) How did you meet your husband? Drumroll... I met my husband online. At the time it was very embarrassing to tell anyone. I even made fun of others for meeting online. Then, it happened to me. Ha. Ha. Life is funny that way. Ten years later, it is as common as meeting someone at a bar, party, grocery store or church. Yes, people do go to the grocery to get picked up. I ...

04.30.08Will it be the jackpot or a small change?Vilay and I are at a point where in three months our life will change. Again. It may be a little change. It may be a big change. It all depends on how we play our cards. With a little luck and a whole lotta work, we should be living in another village or city by the end of summer. However, I have learned all too well that I should not count my chickens before they are hatched. I will share details when we are more sure about the winnings.

04.29.08Almost washedEach week, I tell my husband to make sure he empties out his pants pockets. He responds that he always checks that his pockets are emptied. When I double check his pockets, there is still a random paper, money, or an occasional pen left inside. I feel he is responsible for emptying out his own pockets and wouldn't even double check if I weren't afraid that whatever he left inside may damage our clothes or worse...the washing machine. I am human like all of us. I forget to double check at times. Yesterday, I was shoving our jeans into the machine when something made ...

04.25.08The Jura in SpringOur mountains are blooming with Spring. We are taking nightly walks as we did before the snow. The children run in the fields along the road and search for hidden treasures in nature while Vilay and I talk about how much we love it here. Here are some of my favorite photos I took: The train as it passed by. It is a contrast of bright red against the deep greens and browns of the mountain earth. The sky was incredible and completely different depending on which direction you looked. In the Jura, there are smooth holes in the ground where the earth ...

04.23.08Stars without makeupI found a gallery of photos of several glamorous stars shown with and without makeup. Some of the images are scary because the contrast between makeup vs. no makeup is HUGE. It really makes you think about what is beauty and what is not. After seeing these stars without makeup, I had to ask myself why we buy into this fake image. All we are doing is creating a lie that no one can live up to without the help of talented professionals. Go here to see for yourself. But, you can't say I didn't warn you that some of ...

04.22.08My neighbor is crazyIt is the only explanation for her behavior. Yesterday, I did my laundry like always. I went down to switch loads out and noticed one of my son's shirts that had been hanging to dry was laying on the floor. I didn't think much of it and hung it back up to dry. The next time I went down I noticed that someone had pushed two of my shirts on the line over so that the shirts were all bunched up and there was a bare space on the line. Also, two of my children's shirts were on the ...
