When in Rome, do as the Romans. So when in Switzerland, experience a fondue. We were fortunate enough to have some of the people traveling with us treat us to a traditional Swiss evening – raclette and fondue. This is a little different than what we are used to at home, but wow! It was... Continue Reading →
I’m sure people who visit Switzerland all comment on the quality of the food. I’ve done my best to try a few local favourites, to expand my dining horizons while we spend a week in Bern. To start the day, the coffee is outstanding. People who don’t like strong coffee may not be too... Continue Reading →
Another great aspect of travel is learning about other cultures and meeting new people. While we have not been out in the city too much yet, I have been trying to learn new things about Bern, the area and its people. I learned from one of the volunteers that Bern, the fourth most populous city... Continue Reading →
When I’m traveling, I find that the best way to get to know a city is to walk it. And I love to walk. So this morning I struck out in Berne (or Bern) while Ron did preparations with his team. I decided to follow the path we went our first night, when we walked... Continue Reading →

I love to learn about the history of the different places we visit, many of which have long histories... Continue Reading →
This summer, the cucumber plants in my garden have absolutely flourished. We have eaten cucumber salads, cucumbers in salads, and just sliced cucumbers with salt and pepper. Not to complain, but we were starting to get a little tired of eating one or two cucumbers a day. So, I dug out my old refrigerator... Continue Reading →
I went a long time between blog posts recently. I seem to have a flurry of posts and then take a break, but this summer, the break was too long. Life gets hectic, the weather is too nice to be inside on a computer, or I get caught up in things that cut into writing... Continue Reading →
This spring, we decided to build a garden at the lake. While we have been coming here for 15 years, this was the first year we would be here full time, having moved from the city. At the outset, this seemed a little crazy. We come to the lake to relax. This year, we would not... Continue Reading →
In honour of my mommy, I thought I would share last year's Mother's Day post. The messages still ring true. Love you Mom! Somebody, somewhere (likely a flower shop owner) came up with the idea of Mother’s Day. Such events are a boon for card stores, flower shops, and long distance telephone companies (although who...
