03.31.08CatwalkClick here to see image larger. Saturday, we went to Bienne to enjoy a warm day in the city. We walked quite a lot and ended up in a Nidau, a neighboring city that touches Bienne. While we were enjoying the birds singing in an otherwise quiet residential area, I saw about thirty wooden planks (like in the photo above) leading up to different balconies or windows. I asked my husband what in the heck those boards were for. I have never seen these before living in Switzerland. Being the intelligent man he is, he told me the boards were ...

03.26.08Married with kidsWe all have caught a little bug. A bug that has crawled it's way around the apartment infecting each one of us (minus Mr. Pie, comme d'habitude). Thankfully, the bug in question is not the one that did a round at Sweet Bear's school. That bug missed my girl. I was saved from having to spend money on lice shampoo and washing costs! Whew. However, it did not save me from the need to scratch my head just thinking about our near miss. I would be willing to bet that after reading about lice at Sweet Bear's school half of you are sitting ...

03.24.08Our first Easter in SwitzerlandSweet Bear made this chick at school out of paper plates. The neck is a red sock with a hole cut out for her thumb. It is adorable! She, also, made this Easter basket. The kids left the baskets out the day before for the Easter Bunny. The next day of school, the kids had to search the classroom for the baskets the Easter Rabbit had hidden. Each basket had been filled with an Easter surprise. We colored eggs together and then polished them off with an oil to make them shine. One of the kids Easter basket. ...

03.21.08Good Friday, snowed inHere are a couple photos of our mini-blizzard on Good Friday. In the photo above, there is a man with a snow blower clearing a parking lot. He is located on the left-hand side of the photo just in front of the trees. That is our flower on our balcony on the right-hand side. The usual snowy view from our kitchen window that I have posted various versions of since winter began.

03.21.08The betToday I was reminded of a conversation I had with Vilay last year. We were discussing our move to Switzerland. I asked him if he were sure about moving to the country of endless snow. He hates snow as much as I do did. He told me that in Switzerland it didn't snow more than in Strasbourg. I told him he was out of it or only saying that so that I would consider moving to Switzerland. I really hated snow. I made a bet with my husband. I bet that it would snow as late as Easter in the ...

03.18.08Hippity hoppity Easter’s on its wayHere are some images of our first Easter in Switzerland. A photo of a kind of a traditional Easter Rabbit cake that is not very sweet but good all the same. I bought the brightly colored eggs from a woman who was selling them to raise money for the handicapped. We tried to eat the eggs but none of them were completely done on the inside. So, we decided they were for decoration only. The Swiss hang these decorations on a small tree. We don't have a small indoor tree and decided to tape the decorations to the window in ...
