Searching for the road that needs to be taken

May 8, 2010

I have been re-examining my beliefs for about a month now. It is like a circle where I often find myself back where I started. Only with more questions and more curiosity to answer those questions. As a child, I watched everyone and everything. I couldn’t tear myself away from it all. I think it [...]

Days

May 2, 2010

It is only a matter of days until our family is in our next home. I have been retouching the paint in the apartment. It didn’t take long to cover three years worth smudges and pen drawings on the walls. I am not one to wait until the last minute to get ready to move. [...]

Growing out of myself

April 29, 2010

I live in my head too much. I need to be around people. I need to grow out of myself. My kids on the train home from looking at an apartment in Bienne last week. We decided that Bienne was too expensive unless we wanted to live in a not so nice area. We are [...]

No pooing allowed!

April 28, 2010

Image taken in Germany. I snicker every time I see these no pooing allowed signs around Europe. The signs are perhaps a little too graphic??? Today is warm and sunny. I have been ironing and cleaning. The kids have been outside playing. My seven year old came inside with dirt sticking all over the warm [...]

Good start to the week

April 19, 2010

The lines to dry clothes outside have been put back up. Yippee! There is sun. Yippee! The kids are back in school after a two week Easter break. Yippee! We have found several nice and affordable apartments in Bienne, La Chaux-de-fonds and even Neuchâtel. Yippee! We are keeping our options open on where we relocate. [...]

Life cycle

April 15, 2010

A moment brought back by a smell or an image…there is a memory of a touch…a feeling…of being. Of who I am and who I was…the same.

The end of the snow

April 9, 2010

I took the photos below last week before we left to visit Strasbourg. We took a walk around our village with my Inlaws. The girls were so happy that they could ride their bikes. The snow is all gone now except for some patches here and there at the very top of the mountain. The [...]

Easter vacation

April 7, 2010

Vilay found out last Thursday that he was laid off for all of this week. We decided to call his parents and ask to visit them in Strasbourg for a few days. We ended up leaving Friday and returning today. I feel so much better about so many things after this mini-vacation. It has cleared [...]

We have begun to take our Sunday walks again

March 28, 2010

We have been getting rain the last few days. It doesn’t bother me because it isn’t the freezing cold rain of winter. It is a spring rain. :)

Stereotyping

March 19, 2010

Emmie giving me love eyes. She loves her Mama! I was thinking about how bitchy I have been since moving to Switzerland (in regard to my neighbors). I think that perhaps…no surely…I could have handled all the situations in a better manner. However, I carried inside me all these stereotypes of what the Swiss were [...]

What I have today

February 27, 2010

On the way home from the grocery I stopped to talk with a neighbor that has lived in our village her whole life. She tells me about how she would take long walks with her children in the forests around here. They would picnic and play in the forest before returning home. She tells [...]

Neverending walls

October 6, 2009

Each day I think will be easier but it isn’t. My life is such a whirlwind of job searching, kids, a sick cat, a husband and all the daily duties that get in the way of any personal creating or reflection that I had always brought to this blog before. I have spent the last [...]

Indian Summer

September 26, 2009

It was uncommonly warm this past summer in the Jura. This autumn is no different. Today, we went to the village festival and it was so warm most were in tee-shirts while all the other years were freezing cold. I am tired from baking until midnight for the one day a week daycare in our [...]

Life in the slow lane

June 18, 2009

My two youngest girls are off with their class in the mountains today. They left a little after eight this morning and won’t come back until after almost six tonight. They were so excited to go. All the mothers watched the children get on the train with their teachers. The children looked so big and [...]

Lazy day for me

May 31, 2009

Today, we bought crousants for breakfast. Yummy buttery croissants from our village boulangerie. We took a long walk. Ate lunch in a meadow. Our view during lunch. I baked a quiche for tommorrow from the left over dough and filling I had made yesterday. I make enough for two quiches at once and bake the [...]
