Moving

May 25, 2007

Tomorrow. We are heading for the border bright and early Saturday with a truck full of our personal possessions. You will not be surprised if you have been reading this blog that most of said possessions are actually kid related. Vilay is a nervous wreck about all the paperwork needed for the French and Swiss [...]

Moving chores

May 24, 2007

We have been running around like crazy trying to get everything in order. Lucky for us, Vilay’s company handles all the paperwork for the permits. After we move I will write a nice post about how we researched all the financial angles of living in Switzerland. Basically, we didn’t have a choice but to live [...]

Switzerland – here we come!

May 23, 2007

We are moving to the canton of Jura in Switzerland this weekend. I didn’t want to say to much about what was going on because I wasn’t sure how it would all work out. I didn’t want to talk about something that may not have even happened. Now, I can talk about it because it [...]

May 14, 2007

Picture taken in front of Place des Halles in Strasbourg, France. We have many exciting things going on and rather big decisions to make in regard to our immediate future. When it is all set and done I will post about it.

French level

May 13, 2007

It hasn’t been easy living in France. From the beginning I had trouble learning the language. I was and am not able to pay to go to the university as some of you other expats have had the luck of doing. Once we were on our feet enough that we could afford to put the [...]

Colmar, France

May 11, 2007

The Statue of Liberty was built by Bartholdi who was born in Colmar, France. He used his mother as a model for the face. There is a round about in Colmar that has a miniature Statue of Liberty. If we can ever find an apartment in the Doubs we will be moved before this July. [...]

Bill Maher – “Hillary equals France”

May 7, 2007

I am coming out of my hibernation for this one post because I wanted to share this article written by Bill Maher (who is extremely opinionated) with all of you here just in case you didn’t find it somewhere else. I found this article on Danielle’s blog and loved it! Bill Maher – “Hillary equals France” [...]

Neuchâtel, Switzerland

April 24, 2007

I thought this billboard ad was very original. The translation for the slogan on the ad is: There is a clean solution for all types of batteries. Everyone was out enjoying the sun and walking along the lake. The lake had many boats and birds on it. It was very picturesque. The Alps could be [...]

French Presidential Elections 2007 – first tour

April 22, 2007

I want to let everyone know that you can see the results of the first tour live here. The campaign started months ago. However, in the past few weeks it has heated up with candidates getting equal air time on t.v., with the mailing of each candidates program to each and every registered French voter [...]

A beautiful day in Germany

April 15, 2007

We went to Kehl, Germany yesterday. The kids had a blast walking along the river and playing at the park. It was nice because there were as many French as Germans in Kehl. All were enjoying the day together. Kehl park with water fun! Video sent by pumpkinpie The land on the other side of [...]

Europe has female friendly seats!

April 15, 2007

Every girl out there will understand why I teach my girls to squat and not to sit on the toilet seat. However, in France and Germany I have found some ‘sit friendly’ seats. One toilet had plastic wrapped around the seat. When you flushed the plastic revolved so that new and clean plastic was ready [...]

German Autobahn

April 10, 2007

The first few times we drove on the Autobahn I was terrified. Really terrified. There is no speed limit on the Autobahn. Now, I don’t allow myself to think about the fact that most of the cars are traveling at speeds that would make it impossible for the drivers to react in case of an [...]

It was magic. I tell you! Magic!

March 26, 2007

I walked right past this without seeing it. Remember my dog doodoo radar is tuned for doodoo on the sidewalk laying in wait of my feet. This was clearly out of my radar. But, not that of an over curious four year old. Sweet Bear stopped and exclaimed, “Mais pourquoi le chien a fait caca là? Et, [...]
