Lost & Found in Zurich: Reminiscing
http://lostandfoundinzurich.blogspot.com/2012/08/reminiscing.html
Lost and Found in Zurich. Thursday, August 16, 2012. The end of April, Cousin Heather Brenneman and her friend Marguerite came to visit. I hadn't seen Heather in 35 years. Easy enough to remember as the last time we were together was my wedding day! When we were young, there was never enough time for Heather (a year older than me) and her sister Nancy (my age) to visit. I lived in the small village of Embro. They lived a 2 1/2 hour drive away in Barrie,. Heather, me, Nancy. Wow! Check out the lace! I hav...

Lost and Found in Zurich. Sunday, July 24, 2011. Rule Brittania, Brittania Rule the Waves. 14 - 17 July 2011. We met Katie and Heath in London for a four day weekend. When I asked Katie why London, she told me about a great deal Delta had. If you ever need anybody to get you the best airline fares ever, call Katie. The excuse (as if we needed one) for getting together was to celebrate the joint birthdays: Katie 27 on July 11th and Greg 64 on July 1st. Check Tower of London? Only photos from a distance - ...

Lost & Found in Zurich: December 2011
http://lostandfoundinzurich.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Lost and Found in Zurich. Wednesday, December 7, 2011. N many households, you hear the phrase "God willing". In Katie and Heath's house, the phrase is "Noah willing". Truth be told, our wonderful grandson is a bit of a tyrant. He thinks the whole household exists to satisfy his every need and if his needs are not being met to his satisfaction, he lets you know it. He gets that from his father's side, of course.There's nothing stubborn about Greg or Katie or me. Did you people not get it? Greg flew back t...

Lost and Found in Zurich. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Love at a Distance. In February, Katie went back to work parttime and left Noah with a nanny. The nanny was nice enough but lacked experience and the kids were having second thoughts. So, they asked me to come visit earlier than planned so I could be an interim nanny. It's not every day a mother/mother-in-law is actually asked to come for an extended period and I of course hopped onto the first available plane. I was fortunate enough to be there for his ...

Lost and Found in Zurich. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Watching the Cows Come Home. Sunday 25th September 2011. Usually, saying that you're watching the cows come home implies a certain amount of boredom but in Switzerland, the pastime is anything but boring! Cathy N, Girish, Susanne, Greg, Laurie, Dottie. Susanne, Cathy N, Girish, Jim, Laurie, Dottie, Greg. Okay, so Cathy,Dottie and I are taking pictures. And Laurie is . directing the parade? You take over. I'm pooped!

Lost and Found in Zurich. Sunday, May 13, 2012. Spring magic, Swiss Style. Friday 11 May 2012. Last Saturday, our weekly trip to the Oerlikon Market was accompanied by rain - a fair bit of rain . Which explains why I was dresssed like this. Fashion shmashion, I was dry! Although not yet at their prime, the blossoms were glorious. Even the leaves were lovely! The reflections of sky and trees in the water were Monet inspired. But, as always, it was the company that made the day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lost and Found in Zurich. Monday, April 18, 2011. Last week I went on another lovely excursion with the American Women's Club. This time it was on the train to Appenzell, a Heidi-like small town near the German Border. The trip was a gourmet delight! We had a wonderful guide who loaded us up with food and facts. Our first stop was in the middle of the road - literally! A local artist put in a round turntable right smack in the middle of the road. His rationale? The area is famous for its. Some of the bui...

Lost and Found in Zurich. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Easter Weekend 21 - 25 April, 2011. I just discovered that if you want to better see the pictures in my blog, just click on them and they magically grow into something even middle aged eyes can see! The wonders of technology! However, we continue to talk and flip flop and check out possible expat heavens. Our first foray into retirement locales was the region of Piemonte (Piedmont) Italy. We rented a car and headed south. The high passes with their h...

Lost and Found in Zurich. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Last weekend, Greg and I went back to the scene of the crime. Where we met 36 years ago. You can't go home again, wrote Thomas Wolfe. Apparently, you can't go back to Munich, either. At least not the Munich of our memories. So, for those of you who haven't heard the story of how Greg and I met, here it is. I've written it in blue so those of you who have heard the story can just skip this part. When Greg saw me "There she is! It slowly pierced my drunke...

Lost & Found in Zurich: August 2012
http://lostandfoundinzurich.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Lost and Found in Zurich. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Thirty-five years ago today, I married my best friend. In the wall, a friendly family of field mice had their home. The grainery stood empty and since winter was not far off, the little family of mice began to gather corn and wheat and straw. They worked all day and night. All except Frederick. It's funny. In the two years we have lived here, I don't ever remember feeling homesick. Not even once. But now that we're leaving, I do feel homesick. We manage...
