What’s a song that changed your life?
Well, it’s not a specific song that changed my life, but the accordion and years of lessons on it and on the clarinet. Those changed my life. Playing the accordion always was a joy. Playing the clarinet in bands and orchestras changed my life. Singing in choirs has always augmented my life in ways that are hard to explain. Life would be unimaginable without music!
Love, JanBeek
Shannon Heckler made a recent trip to Yellowstone and took these phenomenal photos. I just HAVE to share them with you. We are returning home from Switzerland to Montana this week. We live just an hour from these beautiful scenes and animals. Don’t you love them? Thank you, Shannon, for sharing!!
Have you ever visited Yellowstone in Autumn? This is my first … thank you for sharing, Shannon.
Love,
JanBeek
Linus had a security blanket
In these days of political dissension, remain cheerfully hopeful, like Linus. Carry your security blanket with you. Mine is a pillow that I brought from Montana to Switzerland as a reminder:
Carry your security blanket or pillow and your positive energy wherever you go. Dream of a better world. Dream of a place where the security of sanity and compassion are the norm.
Happy end to October, my friends. May your day be as beautiful as mine!
Hugs,
JanBeek
Share a few recent shots from your camera roll, no context needed.

It was 7:30 am by the time we arrived in Switzerland. Safe flight. Thanks for your prayers. In six days we’ll do it again – in reverse.
Meantime, we are having a fabulous 3 weeks with our dear Swiss family and friends. Today our grandson, Mike, treated us to a tour and lunch at Alaia Bay, his place of work. Ever heard of surfing in Switzerland? You have to see it to believe it!
And the beauty around us is beyond amazing!
I hope you can visit this wonderland someday. What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?
Love,
JanBeek
Meantime, back in Ennis, MT
Happy Kenny w Chip

Do you set personal goals for yourself?
Of course I set goals for myself. Doesn’t everyone?
What goals have you set for yourself?
Those are our “Swiss daughter and Swiss Son” (Sylviane & Christian Zufferey). They are the reason we have such a deeeelightful family here in Switzerland. In the 1980’s each of them spent a year living with us as AFS exchange students- and our daughter, DeDe, married their first cousin after she spent a year here living in their family.
We just had a lovely lunch prepared by Syli. Bee grateful!
Our son, Ty, and daughter-in-law, Monika, had a great Saturday. Fun with a friend. Flying and experiencing the opportunity to be the pilot!! They are staying in touch. For that we are very grateful. Staying in touch is another of my goals. How about you?
Love, JanBeek
Now we’re headed back to Switzerland. It was a wonderful trip to Italy.
See ya tomorrow
